Are these socks only compression or lessen foot to toe pain inside foot not on skin ?

I have had plantar fasciitis surgery to one foot and the other has times of plantar inflammation. I also hike and walk a whole lot and have had pain upon completion of the hike on the toe foot transition areas.The socks are compression yes but I don't know what the copper infusion does. All I know is the pain I usually have inside my foot goes away rapidly when I put them on, or stays away if I wear them. Other firefighters swear by them as well. Hope his helps you.

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

What my comment covered was the "crew" sock which is a lighter weight than the other's purchased from the mfg., and were to lessen leg and foot pain due to numerous injuries etc., and because the gauge was thinner than the other's purchased earlier not as well constructed where stitching seemed weak and potentially to wear out sooner.

These sockes are like dress socks and I read that u can use them at rest and while walking and daily activities...like my husband does. I don't see why you couldn't . I think it would help the swelling and from your legs becoming for fatigued and get better results from the compression. My hubbie sometimes wears regular socks over the compression socks to help reduce any friction. It's up to your comfort level

The socks I purchased are not Zip Socks; however compression level is the amount of tension in the sock in various areas to give your feet and legs support keeping them from swelling. The standardized level of compression used as follows: 15-20, 20-30 , 30-40 and 40-50 mmHg.

Yes. I just used them on a 16 hour flight and my legs did not ache at all. I highly recommend these socks for flying more than 2 hours. They wash up nice too!

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.

Oh, you poor thing....both feet hurt from this? Ouch and I thought I had it bad.....when I ordered mine, which was some time ago, I got two for the price of one. I think that they said in the description of the socks that there were two. Anyway, good luck and they are wonderful by the way . Using Penetrex really helps too!!!!

I don't wear my very often right now. Then size is probably ok as the toe area is open. The compression good on top of the foot . Can't feel it below the foot. It doesn't reach the toes. I wear a 8.5 w shoe. My ankles swell if I wear the supports more than a few hours. Hope this helps.

Hello My son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

They are open toe and are pretty comfortable as far as compression stockings go. This is what they used in the hospital for me after surgery but they only sent me home with one pair.

in the toe and heel they are well cushioned but there is compression (not padding) in the arch and ankle collar

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.

The socks pictured here are not the ones I own. My socks have grips on the bottom of the socks, that does include the heal and toes. Not on the side of the foot or toes. I hope that helps you.

my son plays baseball and was complaning of aching - he really likes the feel of these and they have helped him. They do not keep their firmness as well as true medical compression stockings. These are tight on his legs and the cotton makes them comfortable. He loves them. They also wash well. I think they would work well for a flight to ease swelling, but are definately not as stiff and constrictive as real medical stockings. hope this helps

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

Compared to any other compression sock these are much easier but still require a little finese. I LOVE them, they work. I have a ton of compression stockings that I couldn't never get on by myself & if I did they cause me to itch, to sweat, & actually leave indents so I think my circulation is being hindered. The do not leave indents, they do not sweat & make you itch. I bought mine in XL normally I would not bt I wanted firm compression without feeling strangled. They are a little long for me but I don't mind because they are totally comfortable. They are not "pretty" but I would buy another pair in a heartbeat and I have gotten a lot of relief from them.

No. there is a seam on the toe section. However, the socks are thick enough that I had not even noticed until I saw your question.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.
