do you think this sock is good for working 12 hours stand up

No socks are going to be super comfortable for that long but they were definitely a lifesaver for me because of swelling during pregnancy. What helps with these socks is rolling down the top plasticky part when they start to get uncomfortable. You will also need someone to help you get them on each day. I couldn't do it myself.

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

Yes, I am an Actor and part time Waitstaff. I do a lot of standing. I use this device often and it does help with the very painful plantar fasciitis. You should also be stretching the arch of your feet before you get out of bed in the morning. I use a beach towel. I put the towel under my feet and stretch each foot for six minutes.

yes. once i started wearing them i no longer felt the achy leg pain at the end of a 12hr shift on my feet!! i notice how tired my legs feel when i don't wear them.

It is pretty good! It last for a good half hour of foot sanding, then you would have to plug it up for charging.

Yes, but I would advice against it. Given that the sole of the shoe will wear-out the bottom elastic band at a much faster rate. I don't think it will last for long, specialy if your going to use the guards during bag work.

As the other responders have mentioned, 1/2" mats are good for cushioning for exercise programs like P90X, Insanity or CrossFit. For long term standing, I agree with the other responders that anti-fatigue mats are probably your best bet. Or you might look for a mat that is 3/4" thick or more. Also you don't need a 48 sq foot mat because it is 4'x6', which is probably bigger than you need, although the pieces can be disassembled easily. But before you invest in mats, make sure the shoes you are wearing are appropriate for the time you will be standing. A good cushioning cross-trainer or walking shoe might be better than a mat.

Yes. After a couple hours it might start become a little uncomfortable and sweaty, but can be worn all day. I myself use it most of the day.

I would say yes. I used to work with the elderly and I cannot imagine any of them being able to put these socks on by themselves without lots of patience and difficulties...and for some it may be totally impossible to do on their own.

No, I have worn a boot the last week and a half and it's been fine. If your non weight bearing this is absolutely worth the money. I could still do household chores and function almost normally. I also have crutches and used a couple of times but this is just more stable and I felt so much more "normal" on this then I did crutches. I give this on a scale of 1-10 a 20!!

I would say a couple of hours at night but for at least 3-5 days depending on how dry your heels are.

I don't work in the garment industry. I wear 11-12 shoes. I believe this is large sock.

It worked for me as a splint at night, it is pretty tight on the foot. I used it under socks as well but could not wear it for an extended length of time because it became uncomfortable.

Yes. I wear mine inside and outside. I am usually in my office and always have cold feet. That is until i wear my Heat Holder socks. If I wear anything else, I really feel the difference. You will be happy with these socks

By the way. I use this every work day standing for 5-6 hours. Have had it for 3 months now and never going back.

The sock in general does not provide support. Doubtful that it would provide heel support. That said, they are very comfortable socks, with slightly more than average cushioning.

Yes. I am in the military and have lots of 12 hour days. These are worth the price.
