Very happy with product although I'd prefer it if they came in white or black, so that you can wear them fashionably with trainers. The colour is a bit 'Nora Batty'!
I strongly recommend these sleeves for achilles tendon issues. They help to protect the tendon against friction from the shoe. I find it helpful to wear the sleeve under a thin under-sock and then wear another sock on top. The combination gives improved protection especially if the outer sock is a really thick walking sock. The products last a long time and can easily be washed.
Second purchase of this, needed a spare when washed and waiting to dry. Alleviated pain from tendon swelling and stopped hiking boots irritating as I walk a lot. Bought small/medium and only negative is I would have bought smaller size if available as I have very narrow ankles and feet. Swelling slowly reducing after several months Thank you
Excellent service ordered Friday afternoon and it arrived Saturday morning, well fitting sock and easies the pressure on my Achilles’ tendon , would certainly recommend.
The thinness of the material is good in that it doesn't bulk out your foot, but could do with being a little more elasticated. I find it still rucks up on my foot which can be uncomfortable when I wear it. Not sure if the smaller size might have been a better bet for me even though I'm a size 9 uk. As to the gel pad, all good. I notice the heel pad but the truth is I'm not sure if the achilles part of it is doing anything or not. (I bought them to try to ease achilles tendonitis).
