<\/a><\/p>\n Most of us are on our feet for a significant percentage of the day. And, many of us take our feet for granted. They might hurt a bit after a long day of walking, but most days we don\u2019t worry about them because they don\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n For some people, though, foot and leg pain is the norm. There are products on the market that claim to help. In this review, we\u2019ll look at one such product: Doc Socks. Are Doc Socks worth the price? And, most importantly, will they do what they claim to do?<\/p>\n Doc Socks<\/a> are more than just socks, although the serve the purpose that all socks do. They can cushion your feet, absorb perspiration, and protect your shoes. However, it\u2019s the technology behind Doc Socks that makes them special.<\/p>\n Doc Socks are compression socks. Their purpose is to apply pressure to your feet throughout the day. This provides stability for your feet and ankles. It also prevents swelling and pain.<\/p>\n Doc Socks look a lot like regular socks. The major difference is that your toes are not covered when you wear Doc Socks. For that reason, you may choose to wear them over or under a traditional pair of socks. They can be worn with shoes or alone when you\u2019re in the house or sleeping.<\/p>\n Doc Socks<\/a> were designed by a leading podiatrist \u2013 that\u2019s a doctor who specializes in treating diseases and disorders of the feet.<\/p>\n There are a lot of compression socks on the market. In fact, you can buy compression socks in most pharmacies. However, not all such products are designed by doctors with years of experience treating the conditions that compression socks can alleviate.<\/p>\n Doc Socks<\/a> are designed to help anybody who experiences foot and leg pain during the day. You don\u2019t need to have a diagnosed foot condition or injury to benefit from wearing Doc Socks.<\/p>\n Here are just some of the conditions that Doc Socks can help with:<\/p>\n The testimonials on the Doc Socks website come from busy moms, teachers, and people who have a wide array of foot problems. If you have a job that requires you to be on your feet, or if you have plantar fasciitis, diabetes, or other problems that can contribute to poor circulation, wearing compression socks may be helpful.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s talk about what you\u2019ll get if you decide to order Doc Socks<\/a>. Unlike some products sold on the internet, Doc Socks don\u2019t come with a lot of extras. This is a simple product that\u2019s designed to help people experience less foot pain and fatigue.<\/p>\n You can order Doc Socks one pair at a time or in bundles designed to help you save money. Later on, we\u2019ll reveal the prices, so you can decide if you want to order Doc Socks.<\/p>\n Whenever we review a product, we like to check out the scientific evidence and research to see if it\u2019s realistic to expect the product to fulfill the claims made about it. Fortunately, when it comes to the benefits of compression socks, there is plenty of research to support the idea that wearing Doc Socks<\/a> can help with foot ailments, pain, and fatigue.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with a study<\/a> that looked at the effect of wearing compression socks similar to Doc Socks on patients with diabetes who had edema (swelling) of the feet. The study asked 18 patients, 9 men and 9 women, to wear compression socks during their waking hours for a total of four weeks. The subjects experienced a significant decrease in calf circumference after just one week of wearing the socks. Likewise, cutaneous edema had significantly decreased by the third week.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also some evidence that wearing compression socks can reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis in patients who have had strokes. We found a study that showed that wearing compression socks resulted in a lower percentage of deep vein thrombosis<\/a> than traditional, post-stroke treatment alone. More studies are needed, but the results are certainly promising.<\/p>\n We also found a review<\/a> that looked at the effects of wearing compression socks on people who traveled by airplane. It concluded that wearing compression socks while flying significantly reduced the risk of swelling and edema. Again, more study is needed, but there\u2019s certainly reason to believe that wearing Doc Socks when traveling can help prevent swelling and thrombosis.<\/p>\n We couldn\u2019t find any studies that looked at foot fatigue as it relates to ordinary walking and standing. However, we did find several studies that looked at the effects of wearing compression stockings after a prolonged bout of intense exercise such as a marathon.<\/p>\n For example, we found one study<\/a> that looked at people who performed intermittent running and prolonged running. The subjects who wore compression socks while they ran experienced later onset of leg and foot pain and less pain overall than the subjects who did not wear compression socks.<\/p>\n Likewise, an Australian study<\/a> found that people who ran marathons who wore compression songs for 48 hours after the week recovered more quickly than those who did not wear the socks. Recovery time and quality was measured by having the subjects run on treadmills to the point of exhaustion two weeks after the marathon.<\/p>\n Compression stockings may be useful for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, too, but we were unable to find any studies that looked specifically at the use of compression socks to treat that condition. However, there are many studies \u2013 some of which are cited here \u2013 that have found that wearing compression socks can relieve foot pain, fatigue, and swelling.<\/p>\n We do want to note that the studies we have cited here are related to compression socks in general, not to Doc Socks in particular. Wearing Doc Socks<\/a> is not meant to be a replacement for regular podiatric treatment.<\/p>\n As is the case with any product, Doc Socks<\/a> have both pros and cons. Let\u2019s look at them, starting with the pros:<\/p>\n While there are a lot of pros to wearing Doc Socks, there are a few potential cons to consider:<\/p>\n Overall, we feel that the pros outweigh the cons. The fact that Doc Socks were designed by a podiatrist makes the extra money you\u2019ll spend to get them worth it.<\/p>\n By now, you\u2019re probably wondering how much money you\u2019ll need to spend to get your hands (or feet) on Doc Socks<\/a>. As we mentioned above, the price per pair goes down when you order in bulk. Right now, the company is offering special prices reduced from the usual price of $40 per pair as follows:<\/p>\n The bargain bundle that a lot of people buy is the buy four, get three free deal for $75.00. That works out to a price of a little over $10 a pair. When you consider how much your quality of life might improve as a result of wearing Doc Socks, that price is a real bargain.<\/p>\n Our final recommendation is that Doc Socks<\/a> are worth the money. There\u2019s real scientific evidence that wearing compression socks can help relieve foot pain and fatigue and improve circulation. Why endure foot pain if you don\u2019t need to? Wearing compression socks can help and Doc Socks are designed by a podiatrist.<\/p>\n To get your supply of Doc Socks today, please click here <\/a><\/strong>now.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most of us are on our feet for a significant percentage of the day.
