Strassburg Sock - Regular Size (Calf Size Up To 16" Around)

I've read the reviews and was a bit skeptical but I've used the sock and my foot pain has eased from the first day I slept with it. It's surprisingly comfortable and easy to use. I'm a short person (5 ft 1) and thought it might not fit, but it does. I didn't pull the velcro too much and didn't feel any pain in my toes as some customers did, so that was good too.

I think the concept of this sock is good for plantar fasciitis and my symptoms are slightly better. The fit is not good at all; it is too long (was the smallest available size), the fastening around the calf is uncomfortable and for this reason I often have to take the sock off in the middle of the night. The part of velcro on the strip to pull up your foot is too short, so I cannot pull it up as far as I should want. Given all these shortcomings I think it helps my symptoms a little.

Genuine sock which was recommended to me by my physio. Surprisingly comfortable to sleep in - you have to be careful to put it on carefully so that it doesn't dig into your calf at the top. I was advised to not fasten it in the position shown in the picture but to allow the toe to move forward a bit and so far it has made a big difference combined with the stretches I am doing.

Had Plantar Faciitis since April 2013. I was told by running 'expert' that this sock would alleviate my heel pain and assist the injury healing process. Being completely honest, I have not found that it has helped at all. I watched YouTube clip on how to wear the sock, demonstrated by Mr Strassbourg himself. So, thought I was wearing it properly. I found a marginal improvement but as soon as I swapped the sock over to wear on my other foot, the pain came back in the first heel?!?!?! Now resorting to physio to see if that helps. This whole journey is proving very expensive as these things are NOT cheap!!!

I've had an Achilles problem for 8 months. Nothing has helped. A physio suggested I try this. You wear it in bed at night (Not v. alluring). After a week, my Achilles was so much better I could even run again. Excellent product.

Suffering from heel pain prompted me to try this sock, for it to work wearing it during the night you need to keep your leg straight.It can be a little uncomfortable as it needs to be tight to so it doesn't slip down,Overpriced for what you get, I would not recommend to a friend.

My achilles tendon was still very stiff after an injury 5 months ago. After wearing this sock for a few nights I could do heel raises on one foot more easily. I'm still wearing it for 3 weeks now so that I can continue to lengthen my achilles tendon. Very comfortable in bed - doesn't stop me sleeping or interrupt

I have had problems with Achilles for 2 years and wear a bed splint very uncomftable. 2 nights in this sock and no sharp pain in the morning and very easy to sleep in. Tried sleeping without out it after 1 week but the agony return straight away
