Offered only by Hammacher Schlemmer, these are the socks that compress the ankle and foot to help combat the painful symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Unlike bulky “night splints,” the socks slip on comfortably, providing full range of foot movement as well as varying degrees of compression that reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and accelerate the healing process. Below the ankle, the socks compresses the plantar fascia ligament yet loosens as the foot widens toward the front for comfort. The thinner material in the ankle minimizes bunching at the top of the foot while stabilizing the heel. The socks maintain compression above the ankle for consistent circulation and support; the collars are flat and smooth without ridges. The socks’ reinforced 76% micro-nylon/24% Lycra construction allows your skin to breathe and remain comfortably dry. Imported. White or Black. Sizes M (Men’s shoe size 6-9 1/2; Women’s 7-10 1/2), L (Men’s 10-13; Women’s 11+), or XL (Men’s 13 1/2-15+). (1 oz.)
