Padded Socks Can Reduce Foot Pain: MD Podiatrist
When you’re experiencing foot pain, the best padded socks for foot pain provide comfort where you need it most, whether it’s the ball of the foot, the heel, or the entire sole. And a good fit is essential to maximize comfort, according to Dan Michaels, DPM.
First, you’ll want to consider the type of foot pain you have. As Dr. Michaels explains, padded socks can ease pain in pressure-bearing areas “such as the ball of the foot and the heel,” and there are options with targeted cushioning on the spots that might be causing you pain. Alternatively, if you’re experiencing more generalized foot pain, consider socks with padding throughout or compression materials to help improve circulation and increase support around the entire foot.
