Is this better than getting compression socks?

The arch band isn't meant to reduce swelling if that is the reason you are using a compression sock. It is more of an arch support mechanism. If you are looking to reduce swelling or support more than just the arch I would suggest another killer product called "strength tape". It's a stretchy sports tape in pre cut strips that has a ton of different uses. Check out the website. It shows you how to wrap properly for different ailments. Good luck!!!

I wear compression socks during the day and these at night and they work great for me.

For me it is. I don't have a need for compression socks. I need support due to very thin foot.

It is better if you're using it for plantar fasciitis. You might also want to check out the book ISBN-10: 1457539268.

It is better if you're using it for plantar fasciitis. I's also suggest checking out the technique in the book "The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution" too if you're plagued with that.

I've never used compression socks, but I can tell you that these were VERY helpful for my aching arches.

Yed I did however after a while the center part of my foot started to hurt and ultimately I stopped using them. I put the old inserts in my runners and bought better socks and that actually seemed to help me better than the insert.

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!

I have varicose viens that are med to bad on the top of my right foot..a few spider viens in both legs/feet. I have invested a baby fortune in compression socks & #1 I couldn't see they did any good #2 I'm not sure I'm even stron enough to get them on #3 they always irritate my skin, they sweat, they are impractical for daily wear. The TC stockings are compression BUT you can get them on, they don't cut off circulation @ my knees, they don't sweat, they are comfortable to wear all day and they control the pain & occasional clots in the varicose viens--I LOVE THEM, I don't think of them as stylish but with pants & tennis shoes I guess no one knows or cares. Hope this helps

I used it for a muscle tear, but I also put under a compression sock for more support! I did well playing tennis with both. I hope this helps but be careful with a minor fracture because it can get worse! Good luck

That would be a good question for your doctor. Futuro Staff is right about putting them on in the morning when you have little or no edema, and keep them on until bedtime. That is the best way. You should not need them while sleeping in bed, but next time you talk to your doctor, ask her/him.Futuro makes good compression stodkings and you can get them for a good price on the internet. Also, if you need some quickly, they are easy to find at the major drugstore chains.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

Don, we were not able to use this device with compression stockings, even the 15. We returned the item. Instead, I cut about a one inch slit on each side (right and left of the knee) of the sock, gather it up stretching as I go down the sock and pull as hard as I can as I put the sock on my husband, and then gradually pull up, smoothing out any wrinkles. We have tried for over 3 years to find a sock aid that would allow him to put on his own socks and so far, we have been unsuccessful. I wish I had better news, but that is the truth. Lyn C

They are for either, but I would just get compression socks because these socks do nothing for pain.

I love the idea of it, but mine is larger than the same type I used at therapy - stretches my socks too much, so hardly use it. I wish Amazon would stock a narrow one for women's socks. No on compression. I was able to use compression in rehab, but as I said their's was narrower.

I really don't think this will work. I bought this device for my father, who had a hip replacement surgery recently. He uses some heavy duty socks, which are a little less harder than compression socks. Well, the device worked for that, but honestly I really don't know if this will do the same for compression socks.

Well sure, soccer players run in them all the time! If you are trying to use them as an inexpensive compression sock, no they wont work. They are snug but they do stretch too much. I wear a compression sleeve under these socks when I play soccer.

I do not know, however why ruin a perfectly good sock. I think the foot part also supports the leg part and by cutting off the foot part the leg part would not stay in place. My local drug store has some leg compression socks without the foot part.

You should get the regular compression leggings not the coldgear. The coldgear is pretty thick.

I am size 7.5 and the women's m-l were WAY to big. I felt no compression AT ALL even though I chose the ones in my size range. I think that if you want compression with these socks you'll have to go with m-l, I think men's will be too big and you wont be satisfied with amount of compression.
