PediFix Arch Bandage - One Size Fits Most

About 10 months ago, I developed a serious case of plantar fasciitis in my left foot. It was horrible. I could barely walk. I tried EVERYTHING!! Night splints, boots, etc., etc. ETC.!! The ONLY thing that has made a huge difference is wearing this bandage. HUGE! BUT....you CANNOT EXPECT IMMEDIATE RESULTS! And you must wear proper shoes or sandals with arch support, etc. along with the bandage. But I did notice a DEFINITE difference after about two weeks of wearing the band and now 8 months later, no pain whatsoever. It took about three months of wearing the bandage everyday and at night for the pain to completely go away and I did nothing else other than wearing good shoes. No other therapy or splints, etc. Just the bandage.And now? I danced on concrete the other night at a party...barefoot! No pain then and no pain the next day. PF is gone. I still wear the band during the day and just about everyday just in case and wear it when I exercise or go hiking or anything that puts a lot of pressure on my feet. BUY THIS!!! They do wear out so buy several. But the price is cheap, cheap, cheap compared to doctor bills, physical therapy, boots and anything else and IT WORKS!!!And for those who say they're too small for larger feet, you can stretch them out by wearing them in the shower and allowing to get wet and then you wear them. When they dry out, they're bigger. If you do this several times, they'll stretch out. It can also be a problem for people who don't want them to stretch out, so if you one of those, don't where them in the shower and then wear them. Take them off and only get them wet to clean them.

I have fallen arches. My problem is that I really love footwear and especially in summer I'm in and out of many pairs of shoes during the day. Sandals, gym shoes, heels, boots, you name it. I drove myself crazy and spent way too much money trying to find arch supports for all these different kinds of shoes. THIS IS THE ANSWER. I can't tell you how many different arch support products I've tried before I found these.This product has it all:(1) Versatility - slip this on and you can wear it with everything! You can wear it with bare feet around the house, with slippers, sandals, gym shoes, high heels, everything.(2) Low Profile - It is almost the same color as my skin so unless someone is looking directly at your feet from close range, they're really not going to notice it. If the manufacturer wanted to, they could offer these in a range of colors and also designs. Call me crazy but I'd like to wear one that had flowers on it, butterflies, ladybugs. Who says arch support can't be fun? : )(3) Support - Fabulous arch support! Unlike most products, the support is all around the arch, not just a portion of it. I wear a size 9 shoe and this is PERFECT pressure and support.(4) Comfortable - I can wear it all day and even at night. Doesn't cut off circulation, just gives support.(5) EZ on/EZ off - slip it on, slip off. Stays in place.(6) Durable - you can wash it. If you need to tighten it up a little, throw it in the dryer and it shrinks a bit.

This worked very nicely for me to give some support under the arch of my sore foot. I have a fallen arch in 1 foot and mild plantar fasciitis issues and this gives a bit of support. I wear a women’s size 7 1/2 to 8 shoe and this one-size-fits-most worked out fine. Then elastic was a bit tight when I first opened the package, but I stretched it with my hands and it actually loosened up a bit as I wore it. It’s thin and fits nicely in shoes. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because although it stays in place pretty well, it does have to be repositioned occasionally, and also I’d like the elastic to be a bit softer and more comfortable. I sometimes wear it over a thin sock. It definitely helps to give some mild compression and support to the arch.

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!).
