Relief Genius Cold Therapy Socks with Reusable Gel ice Packs - Achieve Relief from Sprains, Muscle Pain, Bruises, Swelling, Edema, Chemotherapy, Arthritis, Post Partum Foot (Black, Large)

I bought these after I had a procedure on my toe and have had to stay off my feet and Ice the area and these are just lovely. I was having a hard time keeping an ice pack on there with just a wrap and decided to try these, they are soft, stretchy, long lasting cold!

Good quality, design and effective!!

The not so great stuff:1) I am a woman and I wear women's US11W, the equivalent of EU43 (wide width). I bought the Large pair, and they *barely* fit lengthwise. The cold packs that go into the soles of the socks are even shorter than the socks themselves, not by a lot but by enough. The upshot is, if you have feet larger than I do, you will not be able to wear these.2) On the instructions that come with the socks, it doesn't tell you how long to freeze them before use, or at least I couldn't find it. I finally found the info elsewhere online and it's two hours.3) The cold packs are very hard to get into the socks when frozen. The photo on Amazon shows the socks almost being a moleskin or fake suede, but in reality they are made of thin, silky overly stretchy material that is very hard to deal with. I found that it's best to put the cold packs into the socks while they are warm and easy to work with, then freeze everything together, leaving the cold packs in the socks all the time unless you're laundering the socks.4) Because the socks are almost too short, the heel cold packs are useless for me. They also make it impossible for me to get the socks on, and it's still super hard to get those packs in afterward. So basically, the heel packs stay in the freezer all the time and I don't use them at all. If your main area of concern is your heels and your feet are my size, beware.5) I have a high instep, so it's really hard for me to get my foot into what amounts a narrow channel when the packs are frozen and installed. There is plenty of room once my foot is in, but it's a pain to get them on every time. I've had to learn the "trick" to doing it, but even with that, it's not easy.6) I wouldn't walk around in these without house slippers on, especially on wood floors, they are too slick. However, they work fine with my house slippers, so I get to keep them on when I need to get up to do something instead of having to take them on and off all the time.Now let's get to the good things:1) The cold packs really work. My feet get much hotter than the rest of my body at times, especially my toes, and these socks absolutely work as advertised. They can be a bit TOO cold at first, so I found that if I wait about five minutes after removing from the freezer, they are more pliable (easier to get on) and are not so cold that they are painful.2) If it's a normal room temperature, they will stay cold a good while, more than enough time to get your feet cooled down for as long as it's healthy to use an ice pack on skin. They of course will warm up faster the hotter the room is, but that's to be expected.3) Because the cold packs are removable, the socks are actually really easy to keep clean. You can just throw them in the washer. I haven't put mine in the dryer, I just hang them up to dry, but they dry quickly so it's not a big deal.4) The socks come in a handy bag with a zip top that you can put them into to keep them in the freezer. The bag is surprisingly sturdy and because it's a zip top you can pack it in luggage, etc. and not worry about it.OVERALL: Overall I am fairly happy with the socks. They are not exactly what I was looking for, but at the end of the day, after a learning curve on a few things, they do the job and help keep my feet nice and cool.

These have been a life saver since I've been pregnant. Currently 32 weeks and my feet get sore and swollen on a daily basis. I pop these on and my feet feel great just after a few minutes. Toss them back in the fridge and they're ready to go in about 15-20 minutes if I need another round. Definitely would have loved these my first pregnancy.

This is a great, well made product. I didn't care for the ones I purchased from another company, so I bought these. The socks are thick and cushy. I wear a women's size 9 to 9 1/2 shoe. According to the sizing recommendation I'm just barely a Medium, so I ordered those the first time. I can wear them, but they are really tight. I ended up buying a Large and they fit great. I now have 3 pair because I need them frequently.

The concept is great for those with hot feet. Very soft and comfy material used. Just wish the ice packs stayed colder longer. They are very thin.

Fit good. Comfortable and really help my aching feet

I look forward to these every night. Having stage IV cancer and on chemo treatments , This is a highlight to my day. I tell everyone that has either neuropathy or just sore feet about these. I simply love them.
