Love these socks. I have been wearing them for over 5 years religiously. I started when I was dealing with plantar fasciitis and tried everything, even cortisone shots. I have not had any problems with plantar fasciitis since wearing them. I bought a bunch of them when they went from mens and womens sizes to unisex sizes. They were on clearance so I bought as many as I could. When I would see a friend limping with plantar fasciitis, I would give them a pair. They helped them too. I wear the. Anytime I have closed toe shoes on. My activities are: push mowing, walking, pickleball and volleyball.
