What customers say
Many reviewers say the sock provides a useful calf and foot stretch and helps reduce discomfort, including pain on the first steps in the morning. Some find it comfortable once adjusted, and one says the calf width fits well. Comfort and fit are mixed: several report toe or foot discomfort, pressure from the strap or upper Velcro, or difficulty wearing it through the night; one found it too tight to use. Reviewers suggest easing into the stretch, but the evidence is limited and individual experiences differ.

I have worn these for two weeks
I have worn these for two weeks every night, at first I had to wear one at a time because my calves and Achilles were so tight. I felt a difference each morning, those first steps got less and less painful. I highly recommend these for people whose toes point down when lying down, its a great calf stretch to line your feel and toes up correctly while you sleep.

It worked! Toes weren't in a comfortable position one night; I had to loosen the strap more than I wanted.

Recently purchased one of these socks to wear at night and try to curb some plantar fasciitis/ Achilles tendonitis that's been flaring up doing long work hours on my feet. While the sock does hold my foot in nearly the correct stretch to alleviate things, it pulls from ever so slightly higher towards the toes, and this makes the sock impossible to have on for more than a few hours sleeping, due to the slight discomfort that builds through the night. Even with the sock as loosely adjusted as possible I find that the incorrect stretch actually worsened my plantar fascia and Achilles tendinitis. I think we're the strap run around the ball of the foot, this could very well be the perfect tool, and I intend to sew on an improved strap that pulls from around the ball of my foot to try this. That aside, the sock fits nicely and is well designed, nice fabric etc. Almost works, nice material Doesn't actually work, lousy strap

I really like this
I really like this product! as a Stroke survivor, I am experiencing sever tone in my foot causing my toes to curl and Hammer tone. The first night I wore the sock we really cranked the toes back bit was sore the next morning all the way from my Achilles, hamstring and left but cheek. so you see what a effective stretch this can give you. but my advise is ease into it. I stretched to much first night. I does provide a beneficial stretch not so heavy that you get hot with it on. a bit tough for me to get the strap tight around calf to keep it up. So a helper is needed to put on if you only have one hand to use.

These
These work. I don't have lots of pain when I get up and first walk on my feet in the morning. The only thing I don't like is how the velcro at the top of the sock rubs on the back of my knee. I solved this by tucking my pj pants into the sock. Wish I had discovered these years ago.

Made a difference Woke up with pain-free, relaxed foot and calf. Tricky to get ball of foot, not toes, bent, but once I did the sock was comfy. Size: Runs True to Size. Shoe Width: Runs True to Size. Would buy again.

There is no perfect solution but it is a good solution As already said, a good way to heal Achilles tendinitis is to stretch it during the night. Unfortunately, some people have problem sleeping with a foot in this position. I must say that this ultrastretch sock is more comfortable than a night splint brace (big plastic brace) but it does stretch the toes. The best solution if you feel discomfort is to reduce the stretching. Most of the time I'm ok with it but I may try with a shoe insert to reduce toes stretching. Size: Runs True to Size. Shoe Width: Runs True to Size. Would buy again.

As
As advertised, but weak design I took the risk of getting this, thinking all the while it would bend my toes back and cause discomfort during the night, perhaps cramping by morning. Unfortunately, that is what I experienced. I think the principle of stretching the Achilles tendon at night is correct, but the solution requires, I think, a more rigid toe area so that the toes are not, a.) restricted in flexing (they are constrained in the sock), and b.) not pulled up and back. Both of these caused me to remove the sock after a few hours of wearing it. Again, the product was as advertised, but the design, IMHO, is fundamentally weak. I'm giving a "good" overall because the product implementation and delivery were fine; the design of the product is what doesn't help, in my case. One more thing. The strap around my calf slid down in the night, loosening the tension on the toe. That was a more minor concern given the design concern. Size: Runs True to Size. Shoe Width: Runs True to Size.
