Unfortunately, this product didn't live up to what I was hoping it to do.
Although I will say that it helped with recovery after exercise and hiking.
I have been using them specifically for my planter fasciitis issue & this sock has not helped in any way, even though it did say that it could.
It also didn't help with blister prevention...for me anyway.
However, I am a fan of compression equipment as I do also use 2XU calf sleeves and definitely get the benefit from that product.
I will continue to use these socks for sport and exercise to help with recovery.
