Can you wear this with socks? or is it more effective to wear directly on the skin?

I would defer to the manufacturer. My daughter wears it against her skin then puts a low cut sock over it

It's very comfortable with socks. I wear a thin sock underneath. It does not rub or bunch up in the shoe.

It really only works on just the toes, but for me...if my toes are toasty, then I'm good. I have [against directions] applied them to the top of my foot [on the toe area] which works well [in combination with putting a pair on the bottom of my feet at the same time]. I ride my bike to work in Minnesota in the winter and that combination helps keep my feet warmer on the 50 minute ride.

In my experience, this device is not comfortably worn with outside shoes. The only shoe I've been able to wear it with is my bedroom slippers, which are loose and pliable. If you want to wear it with any other shoes, I recommend you take it with you and wear it when you try on the shoes. That's the only way you can be sure it can be comfortably worn with that shoe.

I wear the brace next to the skin, but you could wear a sock over it or under it depending on how tight that makes it feel. It's warm and comforting next to the skin.

Well I normally wear socks but you don't have to. It would be really helpful in the peeling process if you soak your feet. It helps the dead skin soften and allows easier peeling. All in all its up to you, you can do as you wish after the baby foot application its still going to peel of the dead skin. Hope this helped? 😁 .

I use for regular socks. I wear socks over my supports. Yes they do stretch a little but it is still worth it to be able to put your socks on by yourself. when I had surgery on my knee I even added a cord loop to each side to extend the handles as I couldn't bend my knee. I use it every day and it is so worth it.

I can't really say. The sock has to stretch enough to put over the inner frame of the stocking donner. I can't imagine any benefit to putting on regular socks this way unless they are really tight. The sock would definitely have to stretch some -- a good bit -- to even try it. Hope that helps. See, you still have to reach almost down to the ankle when you begin putting it on... so if someone has difficulty with that (even while seated) it may not help much. I do think it has a purpose... but I'm not sure that would be it. I found out after ordering that the local medi-supply place here carries them... maybe you can view one in person first. Good luck.

When I used it, I just applied a layer over the toenails of a cleaned foot. Give it a few minutes to dry, then you can put your socks on. I do not use it anymore and changed to plain vinegar per my podiatrist recommendation. It is a year long process, and you need to hang in there. Quick fixes if advertised are clearly bogus...would not happen.

This is definitely worn with footwear. For example, I put this on; over it my tennis socks; over that my tennis shoes. I don't play tennis any more without wearing the Bauerfeind support to prevent future injury.

I would advise that this would not work in bare feet - maybe with socks, I think it is designed more for stability and some cushioning during aerobic exercise when you would be wearing shoes.

I wouldnt try it with bare feet. I use it with my socks and training shoes on, I hope that answer your question. I read from one of the reviews somewhere on the net to use shoes. I love my Ironman it works really good.

The part you put the sock on is flexible so you can squeeze it together to putthe sock on it. I guess it depends on how small your sock it, and if it stretches or not.

You should be able to,roll the socks on the sock-aid all the way to the heel and toe is on the sock-aid and just pull the ropes and the compression stockings should be all the way on your foot than just pull up the sock.I hope this helped you.Have a good day.

Umm, I don't really know, I would think you'd be ok, I mean, it doesn't hurt your skin or anything. I went about my business like normal, I went to the gym and whatnot. Maybe it would make your foot peel happen quicker. I would say just to wear a good cushioned sock, and change out of your sweaty shoes and socks afterwards as soon as you can. Also, I've read from other users that they kept their feet well-moisturized in the days after they did the peel. Report back after and let us know how it worked out. I think it would be ok though.

yes it can be worn that way. But if you get a leg sleeve it will fill better that way it's not directly on your skin.

Shouldn't be a problem The length of the "padded" part is about 9.5", allowing for the bend around the ankle, it will fit. The Velcro will cinch right up to the edge of the padded part. FWIW, I usually put it on under my sock because I find it is not necessarily comfortable if I snug it tight enough not to ride up and down my shin. As far as the earlier comment on bulky; it is padded, so a little bulky, less bulk, more discomfort. It is a trade off. That is another advantage of putting it under a (black) sock. It really doesn't profile.
