Swelling ankles and fatigue were main issues for me & not pain. But using mostly at night and on airplanes and some days working in garden and on feet a lot, they make a world of difference! Love them... See more

The socks are great
The socks are great. It’s a shame they take so long to arrive.
Great buy, really work
Was a bit sceptical about these but have been using them for a couple of weeks and they are definitely helping. I've seen a big improvement.
A+++
This product was comfortable and secure with no slipping or movement
Highly reccomended
DO NOT BUY!
Took ages to arrive then far too big with absolutely no compression,even though I'm a size 7 and socks are a small/ medium!! Also being bombarded with emails trying to sell further items!! DO NOT BUY!!
I have mild neuropathy in my feet
I have mild neuropathy in my feet & it has been painful to walk. These socks have made such a difference to how they feel now that I have been wearing them through the night. The pain has greatly reduced & that makes me feel so much better! Thank you
My painfull feet😥
Hi I suffer from arthritis, Raynaud,s syndrome,
And neuropathy in my feet and bought the compression socks they are fabulous I wear them to bed every night I am waiting on a new pair. So I can wash them .
These socks did nothing at all for my…
These socks did nothing at all for my plantar fasciitis … they offered no compression & no relief.
I am a UK size 4 the size chart said the small is from a UK 4. Maybe they are too big & the sizing needs to be looked at or an XS manufactured.
The money back guarantee is a farce… i tried to claim back & was told i could only do this if they were in the original packets which i didn’t have. Why do they need original / torn packaging … its ridiculous it cant be re used.
I would NOT recommend
SCAMMERS BEWARE!!
SCAMMERS BEWARE!!! These were just awful, I had a small and they were not tight at all, they did nothing so when I asked for my refund within the 90 days, I was told I had to send them to China at my own cost of around £14 to get my refund, or I could keep them and they would give 25% of my money back! Complete scammers
I had swollen feet
I had swollen feet . Tablets just did not work . First night of wearing the socks the swelling virtually disappeared . Works perfectly for me. I lent a friend a pair , her feet after wearing one night exactly the same reaction as mine .
My socks
They. Have help to My tingling now I can get a good sleep I am very happy with them I would buy again thanks Al
Complete waste of money
These are a complete waste of money. Absolutely no effect whatsoever. I still suffer with pain in the ball of my foot and the heel of the other. They have done nothing to relieve this. Don’t be drawn into the so called research - it’s absolute rubbish.
I have neuropathy in both feet
I have neuropathy in both feet. This means my feet are always cold, kind of numb, pain due to bunions and after a long walk I got severe leg cramps. I bought hoka shoes and these socks and haven't had a leg cramp since. I can walk for over an hour without pain. I wear these socks to bed as well and they keep my blood circulation optimal throughout the night as my feet do not get cold.
Functional aid fever knee massager.
Functional aid fever knee massager.
First one the massage feature broke after 4 weeks. This was replaced by FA for free. Replacement one the massager again broke within 60 days.
Now FA will give no refund and no replacement as outside the original 90 day purchase date.
Very disappointing. Do not buy this product.
Pain is like a shadow, this product bought some light
Ive been experiencing pain in my heels for some months.
On goggle seaching the pop up adds popped up.
This one caught my eye, descibed and named my symtoms which was a relief in its self. i didnt follow up.
However as my 23hr flight to melbourne loomed i revisited the add. My fear was not being able to walk of the plane.
So having read the back story decided to order.
The delivery time was slower than id hoped but fell within time offered.
The communication ( I complained) was prompt polite, constructive.
The socks arrived as we where pulling out of the drive to go to Gatwick!!!
I waked of that plane realitively pain free.
Peace at night
They work perfectly for me and my type 2 diabetis NO more aching feet at night peace
Perfect item
The socks have really helped with my Plantar Fasciitis a great deal.
Ordered for my wife who has been in…
Ordered for my wife who has been in pain for many months, after a couple of weeks use she is now pain free and she is delighted.
No pressure - cheap quality
No pressure.
Poor quality.
Firm expects me to send back with a tracking number. Not based in the UK will cost over £10 to send back. Not impressed
Functional Aid Socks not worth buying
Functional Aid Socks had no compression! Zero value.The company is sympathetic but I will have to buy more to receive a future discount or pay to ship back.
