PedifixArch Bandage - One Size Fits Most

I am old. I have wide, flat feet and a bunion on my right big toe. My left foot is always good to go. My right foot hurts like heck. Arch supports make my feet feel like I'm have rocks in my shoes. Recently while on vacation I ran out of clean socks and only had my graduated compression "airplane" socks to wear. So, I wore them. OMG! What a difference! I had never worn the airplane socks except on a long plane ride, so I had no idea of the difference they could make just walking around. No foot pain! I happily followed my kids through the streets of Germany with no problems. When I got back I did some research on trusty Amazon, and I discovered that compression relieves foot pain for a lot of people. I wish I had known this a long time ago. With summer coming I wanted to try an alternative to knee high wool socks, so based on the reviews, I gave these and a second brand a try. They both work equally well! Arch support, without rocks in my shoes. Bunion is tamed and put into alignment. I can do my two mile daily walk with no problems. I am so glad I found out about these. Give them a try. I am female and wear an 8.5 W shoe. I am also going to write this same review on the other brand because I want to spread the good news. Thank you, Amazon.

It is much darker than I expected. It was easy to put on and I could feel the support right away. They are easy to get used to and comfortable as I was also able to wear these under a pair of socks and while I was sleeping.

I didn't think these would help me, but to my surprise, i like them a lot. Most shoes don't have sufficient arch support for me, and although i have tried numerous arch pads, most are not shaped right for my feet. That's why i tried these bandages, and I have found they make my shoes a lot more comfortable and decrease my knee pain. I don't wear them with sandals or pumps because they are very noticeable. I have worn them only with shoes that cover them completely, like my cross trainers and other closed shoes i wear with socks in the winter.They don't come with instructions, and i almost gave up on them because they were so uncomfortable at first, but i did learn a few things through trial and error:1. They are extremely tight at first. My feet are narrow, AA to AAA width, but i found these bandages to be so tight it felt like my feet were cramping. I kept thinking, how could people with normal width feet wear these? then I found that that where i placed the seam made a big difference in how tight they felt on my feet. I also found that they do relax a bit after wearing them a few times.2. The aforementioned seam - each bandage has a seam, and one side of it is covered to make it smooth. At first i didn't pay attention to where i put that seam, and it really hurt when i put it in the wrong place and/or wore it inside out! Also, the bandage felt tighter when the seam was at the top of my foot. I found the most comfortable place for the seam is against the arch of each foot, wearing the covered side of the seam on the inside, directly against my foot.3. I also found that i can't wear them over socks; must wear them under socks.4. They wash nicely. i wash them in the handwash cycle of my washing machine in one of those zippered laundry bags for delicates, in cold water, and let them air dry. They didn't draw up after washing in this manner.5. They have not made my feet too warm or sweat more than normal. However, I have only worn them in the winter.All in all, I am very happy with this purchase.

Broke foot, Now I live with one of these every day ...sucks

My take-away is that the maker isn't consistent in the product quality and I won't order from this particular supplier again because of their lack of customer service. See explanation below:I have ordered these in the past and received two that are very comfortable. So, after about 6 months of having them, I decided to order two more (they come one per package…so you get two separately packaged products in this pack of 2). Well, these two are very different from the first two in terms of fabric and stitching and not comfortable at all. This product is an elastic type product that you wear on your feet to support your arch. The first two I received were very silky feeling in terms of the elastic as well as the fabric and stitching used to cover the seam. These two are not soft so they cut into my feet, making them unwearable. Even the fabric and thread of the stitching is rough to the touch. Overall, these two are horrible and had they been the first two I received, I never would have ordered this product again.In addition to the bad product, my experience with the supplier is also not favorable. I'll first say that it's my bad for not trying to send them back before the 'non-return' date. Time got away from me and I didn't realize until two weeks too late that I missed the return deadline. I decided to contact the seller to tell them about the product and ask if they would exchange them because they are unwearable. They definitely did not offer to exchange them. It's my bad for not trying to do it sooner…so I can't fault them for that. What I do fault them for is that I asked if they would put me in touch with the maker so I could discuss my concerns and lack of consistency in the product since I felt I could discuss the differences better than they could. They said they would get in touch with the supplier and get back to me. It's been well over a week and I haven't heard from them. In my opinion, that's just poor customer service! Even if they haven't heard from the maker, they should keep in touch with me and let me know about their progress or lack thereof. I also like to think that they would have it in their power to exchange the product even after the deadline (especially because it appears to be a faulty product), but they didn't offer to do that. And if you are considering purchasing this product, then you are probably aware that this product is a therapeutic product…not just something you wear for joy and because it's stylish (it is not!).

quality material but big for my small and skinny feet

Lo compré para mi mamá y le funciono

Easy to use. Comfortable. Helps relieve foot pain by supporting the arch.

They help tremendously. My feet are not so sore and tired at the end of the day and they allow me to walk much more than I could without them. When I take them off at nightI put them in my shoes so I won't forget to put them on the next day. I don't want to be without them. A tip: I wear them over my socks instead of directly on my feet. That way they don't absorb any odor - although they are washable and very durable.

I am a doctor myself and had been suffering with arch pains for a very long time due to laxity of ligaments and falling arches. Walking used to be painful. This product caught my eye when my physiotherapist asked me to try strapping my arches with a tape. I have now been using this product regularly now. It is really good. Even my physiotherapist took notice of this product.
