NatraCure Cold Therapy Socks - Gel Ice Treatment for Feet, Heels, Swelling, Arch Pain - (Size: Large)

Brilliant items, and sooo good during the recent hot spell.I left them in the original plastic wrapping and just put them in the freezer according to the instructions that come with them, and waited. I thought it best to use the bag in case the ice creams with which they shared a drawer, decided to spontaneously leak or something silly :)Anyhow, a couple of hours or so later, I got them out of the freezer and slipped my hot and swollen feet into them.SO easy to pull on despite me being a larger person and with very swollen feet and ankles and so comfortable to wear.I then put up my feet and let the gentle cooling do its trick.Not so cold that you flinch, but after a while you feel the GENTLE cooling sensation and it really does help with pain, swelling and heat on the feet.Left them on about an hour and then returned them to the freezer for another bout just before bed time.Not something I would wander around in, but something to slip into whilst I relax in the evening.And after a time, if you feel the need to wash them, they are so easy to clean, just gently wash them as you would a delicate, after removing the little pads first.Truly delighted and so happy I bought them

Got these for my da who suffers intermittently from gout.He had a really horrific flare-up recently and was miserable. Got him these and he said they were good. (High praise from him 😄)Initially both is feet were too swollen to get the socks on, but he was able to use the ice packs regardless. Once the swelling reduced he was able to use these properly and said size-wise they’re actually excellent. (He has size 10-11 feet).Was impressed how versatile they are, ie you can reverse them to put the gel pads on the ball/sole or on the top of your foot.Also a great idea to have a sock you can put ice packs in. Didn’t matter so much in the recent heatwave but in winter there’s nothing worse than having to sit with your socks off to ice a sore foot or ankle.Excellent item to have in the medicine cabinet for any family member of any age.

I don't have a medical diagnosis for what affects my feet; all I know is that the get very hot to the point of feeling like they're on fire. I don't experience pain fortunately. I found these socks and decided that worst case I wasted money, best case I would find some relief.When they first arrived, I thought they were a waste of money, as I couldn't get my foot in. I thought there had been a fault in manufacturing and the wrong bit had been sewn up. I contacted the seller to explain, and they said sometimes in transport one of the seams flips over, and can hide where your foot goes in. Sure enough, that had happened (and I felt like a fool for not noticing).These socks are wonderful. They cool my feet down brilliantly, and allow me to get a good night's sleep. My only complaint is that the gel packs don't stay cold for very long. I suppose I could put them in the freezer, but then I wouldn't be able to sleep with them on, due to the risk of my skin freezing.These are well worth the money!

The idea of the product is great and the pouches are good and a great shape. However I have very sensitive feet and find the man made material irritating. I think a natural fabric like cotton would have been better for me.

Life changing for me in hot weather. My feet have been hurting and burning from walking all day in the heat and keeping me awake, especially in the hot weather. Since I bought those, putting those on before bed is my favourite part of the evening. Cooling feet cools the whole body.The gel pads can be moved around in the sock as it’s layered.Top. Pop them in the freezer not in the fridge in the plastic bag they came in. They are more effective that way. Cooling effect lasts about 30 mins. I take them off and go to sleep. If I need more cooling I flip the pads and get 10 more mins. Amazing.

Very handy, works well, comfortable, keeps your feet nice and cool, don't notice you're wearing them.

Do not buy, one of the socks was not sewn correctly and I could not get my foot in. I thought that I was going crazy or that I was just basically retarded but then I saw another review had the exact same issue.What's more the gel packs do not stay cold for long, after about 5 minutes they need to be thrown back. in the freezer and why didn't they provide a container so that you could put them in that and then place in the freezer? Very unhygienic.The socks quality is not great either. I am very sceptical about the reviews on this site to be honest. This is a diabolical product, it is not fit for purpose (pun intended) and I feel totally ripped off.Do not purchase! 100% Genuine honest review

You get 2 socks, but they are very poorly made, I doubt they will last long because the sock material is so thin. The ice packs only cover the sole of my feet and back of my heel, but they do not cover them evenly.As I said, it is a poorly made product, but they do cool you feet, so they are better than nothing.If you buy them, take the back of heel ice pack out, put the socks on and then put in the heel ice pack.Now that I have these cooling socks. What I really should have found was something stronger than a sock, closer to a shoe, which covers 100% of my foot. It should open completely so all I have to do it place my foot on the sole of it, then the 2 sides should fold over each other covering my foot 100%, most likely held together with velcro .
