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.

Advantages: Almost works, nice material
Disadvantages: Doesn't actually work, lousy strap
