Comfortable
Great product that works as intended! This sock does an amazing job of keeping my foot in the right position at bedtime and is much more comfortable than the bulky brace I used to wear. Since it only covers from the ankle down, it feels natural and less restrictive. The quality is excellent, but I did find the toe area a little tight, which can press on my toe and cause slight discomfort after long use. Overall, it’s a great alternative to traditional braces and much easier to wear! Would definitely buy again.

Seems to Work... Though is Incredibly Uncomfortable to Wear Overnight
This actually seems to be helping my plantar fasciitis - Over past few weeks I've seen significant improvement in my condition. That said, I've found this to range from uncomfortable to downright painful to wear overnight. Literally every night I've tried to wear this I wake up around 2 AM from my foot overheating, my toes cramping up, or the brace pinching (for lack of better term) my ankle and other areas.Since wearing over-night has proven impossible for me, I've been wearing for 3-4 hours at a time during the day. After that, same problem with pain from the brace itself.In Summary:• Does this product seem to alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis -- Yes.• Have I been able to wear this, even for one night, without waking up in pain from the brace itself - no.Considering this brace is "designed"/advertised to be worn overnight, and I've had many issues with doing so, I can't in good faith give this more than 3⭐️ - I'd give less if I didn't find a way for this to be useful. What's that saying... "no pain no gain"... but seriously, I'm either an outlier in terms of my experience, or this product needs to be better designed if intended to be worn while sleeping or for more than 4 hours at a time.

Changed my perspective on this brace.
Plantar Fasciitis is exhausting. Spare you all the things I tried the last few months while the pain, irritability, and weight increase. I only have in one foot and it’s from heel through arch. My heel feels like I have a nail through it…as does my arch after being on my foot long. I’m limping and walking 10 yards. I think I got it from some Teva sandals that were helping my bunions but when I reordered same Tevas, one of them seemed irregular in arch. The good news is the plantar fasciitis was so bad for so long, even with all the stretching routines and research, that my bunions are not a factor at all because I CANT WALK!At first, I was disappointed, in this sock, feeling I ordered the wrong size ( WAY TOO Big) and not sure I wanted to get involved w another size or bothering to return, I’m am 8 1/2 W womens and ordered a medium. It was huge. I tried to rig it to work better lots of ways. Sigh. I had a little success, nothing major, and not sure I could duplicate anything I’d done consistently.THEN ( drum roll):1) I used big fat wool socks I had on anyway because it was freezing. This helped take up excess space.2) I increased flexion, while still benefiting from the toe stretch by Cutting a long ( ?4 + plus inches )wedge from a foam pool noodle. The object was to increase Doris flexion by raising my toes more. I placed tall end of the wedge under my toes and the skinny end toward my arch creating more of a “ negative heel” like an original earth shoe concept.3)I placed the foam wedge between my wool sock and this sock ( to be perfectly clear) and pushing in around until I got it exactly where it needed to be.4) I walked around home in it all evening..for hours, cooking etc. I also left it on for a couple hours while reclining in bed. It relieved all the discomfort and helped so much the next day as well. I was able to walk a half mile outside the next day.This is still new to me, but I’ve gone from appreciating the design concept, but feeling it needed serious tweaking to be helpful to really benefiting from it a lot. Obviously, I am not using it exactly as intended, but as I’m using it, I appreciate that it’s a soft material that provided me the flexibility I needed to tweak it myself.Surprisingly, This product has turned into quite a good value for me…actually a great value. I might cancel my podiatry appt next week . Jury is still out on the latter.Whatever you do to try to mend your PF, Godspeed! Life is just already challenging without stuff like PLantar Fasciitis!

Not helpful.
This product has not been helpful to me at all. It is too flexible and does not stabilize the foot for the sole of the foot to be adequately positioned. I have a bunion , and crowded toes....and the "sock" crunches all my toes together. The angle of the flexion is not comfortable at all, There is no way to modify the "pull back" to keep my sole and toes evenly spread out. It does not even have much of a pull anyway. And I bought a "small" because I have small feet. It is really not worth the time or the money.

Who Thinks Up These Things?
Not sure what other people are doing who negatively reviewed this product, because it does exactly what it says it’s supposed to do. Is it comfortable? Not sure. But, is it supposed to be comfy like a slipper? I don’t think so. I was just diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and the link to this item was literally left in my email by my doctor for this particular sling (she should get a kickback). Very easy to operate. My suggestion would be to make sure your toes are comfy before you secure the ankle strap. And the piece that pulls your toes and ankle up is pretty self-explanatory, and does the trick. I read reviews, I looked at the size chart, and I decided to go with kind of a combination. I have a size 9 foot, but I have a 9 inch ankle and went with the small. I think the medium would have worked as well, but I am comfortable and secure with this one. I’ve only used it one night, and I did take it off halfway through the night because there is an adjustment to this feeling. I have to say that this morning my heel wasn’t as bad as it typically is when I get out of bed. I don’t really have a comparison to value because I’ve never purchased any kind of equipment remotely like this but since I didn’t have to take a loan, I guess the price is good and it seemed to be comparable with the rest of these slings listed on Amazon. And at the end of the day if this helps and I can stand which I have to do for my career all day in comfort, I will pretty much pay whatever and go through whatever kind of crazy contraptions my doctor advises. It is well made. I didn’t need instructions to figure it out. I did watch the original video shown with the listing.
