Hi @mcd123, I have not heard of SootheSocks™️ (https://amrelieve.com/products/soothesocks) but hopefully other members may have tried them and can share their experience. You will notice that we added a few words to the discussion title to better describe your question and hopefully bring in other members to respond. I'm hoping other members will share their experience with what socks work best for them.

I did see this article that talks about the topic and gives some good advice at the end even though they are selling socks themselves --- "Conclusion --
You have to be very careful and considerate in making the decision about the neuropathy socks. Consulting a professional may be the best option if you are unable to detect problems and assess symptoms to calculate the degree of your pain and the worsening state of the health problem.
Accurate advice and help, along with medical care, can help you select the best neuropathy socks to relieve and reduce your foot pain."

I have to wear compression socks myself which helps the swelling in my legs but does nothing to make my feet feel better. I do have some soft, loose fitting socks that I wear at night when I take the compression socks off and I like the way they feel.

Did someone recommend SootheSocks™️ to you?

I use bamboo socks daily. They are especially useful for me at night when I need some relief so as to sleep. I do not wear them all of the time, but they do help me. Amazon's prices are rather good. I recommend the socks that come to a little higher on the ankle. The socks do not bunch up as some regular socks do.

Hello. I have a sock that I consider "the best I have found so far." They are spendy though . They are made by "Orthofeet", the shoe company. Which, like the socks, are good and spendy. (They are brown)Off-hand, I don't recall the exact price but you can find both on Am****.(can I say sites on here?). The good part besides how they feel is that they seem to last. Myself, I have a few health issues but what is relevant here is that I have non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy in both feet and shins, as well as, plantar-fibromas in both feet, my left being the worst.
My second pick is "Thoros(?)" Socks. (I have both the blue and white, as well as the grey and white)Not cheap but not as much. Good news is they are still very good and thet state that they have a lifetime warranty. I don't know if that is for all of their socks or some read the fine print, as always.
What I like about both both brands is that I don't feel like the socks are squishing my feet. I tried compression socks but my plantar fibromas didn't care for them.
I feel like I am rambling but one thing, above everything else I have used(besides meds) is this foot and calf massager by "human touch reflex sol." I have tried others ,SO FAR FOR ME, nothing compares with this one. I feel the pain and the stress that causes leave my body the moment I turn it on. Again, not cheap but... I hope that helps you. Take care
It wont let my pictures load but these are all on Ama###.

This really helps! I am looking at both the Orthofeet and the Thorlos socks on amazon right now 🙂 I have been looking for some socks that did not feel like there were squeezing my feet to the point of pain for a long time. They are very hard to find.

I found soothesocks on line at soothesocks.org, just using a google search. Never heard of them before though so have no idea if they are useful or not.
