Hi everyone! What are these, you ask? Why, they are my Happy Feet Foot Alignment Socks! My momma gave me these for Christmas, and I’ve been (albeit with very poor consistency) trying them out since the beginning of the new year. I wanted to wait a few weeks before reporting on how they work so that I could give them a real chance.

What are they supposed to do? “Turn achy feet into happy feet,” as the package says. More specifically, they are supposed to help rejuvenate your feet after activity and improve foot cramps, plantar fasciitis, and other common foot ailments. You start wearing them just at the tips of your toes (see above) for 15 minutes at a time or so, and slowly migrate them down to the middle, then bottom of your feet after a week or two. Eventually it says you can sleep in them and wake up relieved.

Do they work? Well, at first I thought they were crazy uncomfortable. Then I didn’t notice they were on. Then one day they hurt like mad, and another day they just felt odd. I should add, here, that I don’t actually suffer from achy feet or any foot ailments, my mom just wanted to give me something to feel great. Therefore, somebody with actual foot problems might have a very different review than me. I wear Skechers to work almost every day and so my feet are pretty well taken care of. Despite this, I’m giving it a fighting try. I’m currently at the “halfway down the toe” stage, and I wear them at least 3 times a week for about a half hour while I’m cooking.

I’ll keep you posted if any foot miracles occur.

Have you ever tried foot alignment socks or any not so common product to help with aches or pains? Do you do any stretches or therapies that you haven’t had recommended by a doctor?
