Last week I decided to buy a new pair of socks, advertised for Plantar Fasciitis Relief, from Feetures.
I suffer quite badly on occasion with foot cramps, usually as a result of a fatigued plantar fascia. This worsens when the weather is cold or wet, like it was last week here in Joburg. I have also been using stability shoes for longer runs, as it seems my arch has been collapsing (rolling in), resulting in achilles and calf injuries and tarsal tunnel syndrome.
I came across this product by chance on Facebook, on a post of someone asking what to do for Plantar Fasciitis. For a sock, it is on the expensive side, but if it works, then it is worth it.
After I ordered, I was contacted by Head Office advising that the sock was dirty, due to some work being done at the warehouse. I was offered to be compensated with another pair of socks and a shirt, which I accepted. When I got home, the socks and shirt had been delivered - super happy with the service from Feetures.
I took these socks for their first run on Friday afternoon - a 45 minute tempo run around the hills of Randburg. Putting the socks on at first I could instantly feel the compression; my feet looked like they had shrunk 2 sizes. Putting on my shoes, my feet felt so small, but comfortable. Walking actually felt lighter, almost as if I wasn't wearing shoes at all. The run went well, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort and it felt as though I had more range of motion in my ankles. Unfortunately after the run my feet felt a little bit spasmatic but my feet did get a bit wet and cold.
I used the socks on Sunday again, for my 55 minute long run and for Orienteering. As this was in the morning, my feet weren't swollen, so I didn't have as much of a compression effect as I did on Friday. I also felt the heel structure of the sock (support) when I first put them on. Feet once again felt comfortable, light and well supported during the runs.
So far I am happy with this product and the amount of support and compression it has given my feet. I look forward to testing them more, particularly during the cross country season.
