Amazon buyers say compression socks relieve plantar fasciitis

Suffering from sore feet? Amazon shoppers call these compression socks a ‘godsend’ for relieving heel pain

We often underestimate what our feet have to deal with. They take the greatest load of any body part, so it’s not surprising that if not properly looked after problems can start to arise. 

Plantar fasciitis is one common foot problem. According to the NHS, the condition is caused by straining the part of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes. While treatments vary, one way of easing symptoms is wearing a supportive compression sock.

The Modetro Plantar Fasciitis Foot Care Compression Socks are a popular buy among Amazon shoppers looking to alleviate heel pain. What’s more, they’re now on sale for just £9.32.

Plantar fasciitis actually affects one in ten of us during our lifetime. While it isn’t always clear why it happens, it can be triggered by exercising on hard surfaces or if you’ve taken up more running, walking or standing then usual. 

The Modetro Sports Compression Socks provide ankle and heel arch support that works as a natural pain relief for problems like plantar fasciitis. Described by the brand as a ‘flexible foot brace’, they aim to support blood flow to reduce fatigue and promote recovery after exercise.

With over 5,000 reviews on Amazon, there is plenty of anecdotal support for the Modetro Sports socks. While some claim that the socks have totally eradicated all pain, other shoppers say they have used the socks in conjunction with other remedies like insoles for the best results. 

One reviewer wrote: ‘Bought these compression socks based on reviews and have been wearing one on my left foot in conjunction with orthotic insoles in my shoes. 

‘Fast forward two weeks later and I am walking a lot more comfortably with only a slight limp which appears to be disappearing.

‘They are comfortable to wear and not too constrictive. Can’t say 100% whether it is the socks, the insoles or a combination that has helped, however, I can walk around the house comfortably with no footwear on except for the socks without any pain.’

Another commented: ‘Genuinely provide good compression and support which helps to alleviate the pain. Doesn’t take the pain away completely which you wouldn’t expect but they certainly support the heal and foot arch which in turn reduces the pain experienced. Some reviewers mention that the socks can be too tight but this was not my experience.’

The Modetro Sports Compression Socks can be worn under regular or athletic socks for extra arch support, or worn alone. The toe-less design stop your feet from overheating while the lightweight fabric means they’re not as restrictive as a plantar fasciitis night splint, so you can wear them for any activity.
