So glad I found these!!
I bought these recently out of desperation. After a follow up with my foot specialist, a year and a half after a bad lis franc- 2nd metatarsal break that I just learned needs surgery. Never rushing in to foot surgery meant it would come down to pain tolerance and level of function. My pain was consistent and high and I knew my foot was fragile-and limited in use, still. I ordered these for comfort and support and have found they have a level of voodoo magic that makes a huge difference. I also have life long plantar fasciitis so wasn't objecting to that purpose. I wear one on my broken foot constantly, except for showering. It has added amazing support to where my bone broke high up on the foot and cartilage evaporated. My pain is notably less and because of the arch support's positioning, I don't compensate walking in a way that could trigger other problems. I went back and ordered multiple more pairs so I would always have a clean one at the ready. Hand washing is easy. I have a large sized foot (women's 9.5) but my foot is not super wide. The fit is comfortable and supportive but not tight. It's proven to be an essential and reassuring way to ease pain and feel more confident in living my life. It is certainly helping me know I will delay surgery until I have no other choice, if that time comes. These deserve way more than five stars for how inexpensive but effective they are for me. I highly recommend you give them a try!!! Read more
