Review on ๐Ÿงฆ The Strassburg Sock - Large: Comfortable Calf Support (Calf Size 16"- 21" Around) by Adam Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you've tried everything else, try this!

I've had plantar fasciitis since October, quite suddenly. I met with my orthopedist and found that it was caused by a pair of very nice flat heeled shoes, so I started various therapies. Insoles in every shoe, wearing a Birkenstock every day, bandaging your foot every week, even a cortisone injection, nothing helped. Decided to examine myself and ignore the doctor, tried a hard leg brace and was too uncomfortable to sleep, went to lacrosse balls, ice packs, whatever. Bought expensive ugly shoes, still no relief (other than wearing Birkenstocks which is not a good idea in the snow). I found this, applied it for a few hours at night and felt relieved. I'm not going to jinx it and say 100% is gone, but it's getting better. I'm much more careful about putting insoles and orthotics in my shoes so they don't come back, but this product actually helped more than anything the podiatrist recommended (and the injection hurt far more than the heel pain and didn't work). It may not work for everyone, but it worked for me.

Pros
  • decent job
Cons
  • disappearance
