Frequently Asked Questions
What is SoothRelieve Compression socks?
SoothRelieve are socks that use compression zone technology. With specialized weaves of strong elastic to create pressure on the muscles in the legs, ankles and feet, the pain relief is almost instant. The socks are tighter at the bottom than they are on top, which gently pushes the blood from the bottom of your foot up the top.
When should I wear it?
You can wear these day, night or anytime in-between. They are designed to be extra-comfortable and provide you relief whenever you need.
Can I wash my Compression socks?
Yes, our recommendation is machine wash on cold or hand wash and let air dry.
Do Compression Socks help with plantar fasciitis?
While compression socks don't provide the same support to the fascia the way custom orthotics do while standing or walking, they have the unique ability to provide relief for pain caused by plantar fasciitis while you're off your feet. Even when you are not standing, the sock is supporting your foot with light pressure through the arch and soles of your feet. This support helps to maintain a small amount of stretch through the plantar fascia while simultaneously improving blood flow and calming swelling, reducing the pain.
Do SoothRelieve work?
While they are not a curative treatment, SoothRelieve socks can be a helpful addition to your healing toolbox. Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury, resulting from chronic cyclical loading of the tissue on the bottom of your foot. Treatments that aim to reduce the frequency or intensity of the load on your tissues may help to reduce your pain and other symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis. The light pressure provided by the compression socks through the arch of the foot provides light support and can also reduce inflammation and swelling at the site of your pain.
