Can you wear this with socks? or is it more effective to wear directly on the skin?

I would defer to the manufacturer. My daughter wears it against her skin then puts a low cut sock over it

It's very comfortable with socks. I wear a thin sock underneath. It does not rub or bunch up in the shoe.

Shouldn't be a problem The length of the "padded" part is about 9.5", allowing for the bend around the ankle, it will fit. The Velcro will cinch right up to the edge of the padded part. FWIW, I usually put it on under my sock because I find it is not necessarily comfortable if I snug it tight enough not to ride up and down my shin. As far as the earlier comment on bulky; it is padded, so a little bulky, less bulk, more discomfort. It is a trade off. That is another advantage of putting it under a (black) sock. It really doesn't profile.

I wear it over a light shirt, but under a jacket or sweater because I had read reviews that said it can irritate the skin if worn under a shirt. It is elastic, but it's not so firm that it would cut into the skin unless perhaps you wore it all day. The manufacturer recommends wearing it for short periods of time, and I think that is good advice. It's not meant for wearing during very active times either, in my opinion. I also don't think it would look very good under just a shirt unless you have no back fat at all!

I usually wear mine without socks or thin socks and it is a perfect fit. You may want to go up a size with thick socks, but you run the chance of them being too big. When I bend down, mine do not crease, the elastic material spreads out for your ankle area. One note I would add is the fact that compared to the lower ankle pair these are very hard to pull off. You can't just use your other foot at the heal to pop them off. I use my other pair much more, the pair with the low ankle.

In my experience, this device is not comfortably worn with outside shoes. The only shoe I've been able to wear it with is my bedroom slippers, which are loose and pliable. If you want to wear it with any other shoes, I recommend you take it with you and wear it when you try on the shoes. That's the only way you can be sure it can be comfortably worn with that shoe.

You should be able to,roll the socks on the sock-aid all the way to the heel and toe is on the sock-aid and just pull the ropes and the compression stockings should be all the way on your foot than just pull up the sock.I hope this helped you.Have a good day.

You can wear them as long as you can stand them. I can't wear them without thick socks. I also wear them for 20 mins a day when needed. Hope that helped.

I'm sure the safest would be before you put them on. But it can be used while wearing them

Yes you could walk long distances if you wear good pair of socks! Your feet sweat too much if worn too long without socks!! I find them very comfortable. I have to wear them half a day when I'm working in the barn when it's raining and my feet have never hurt!!

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps. Wayde

Hi Patricia, I wear mine under my sock or a knee high. If I put my foot into a shoe with the toes sticking out that would not feel good to me. A sock over the sleeve sock keeps it cleaner too in my humble opinionMarji

I wear mine underneath clothing without a problem. I don't have directly on my skin though, I wear a T-shirt or Termal top and then put the Body Rite on over it. Love this this thing to bad I did not find this years ago. Best 30 Bucks I ever spent!

You can easily wear this overnight, however I took mine off at night just to give my foot a breather. I wore everyday for 4 weeks during the day and it was very comfortable...and my problem did get better. I am now fine and I do credit the sock with helping me out.

I can't really say. The sock has to stretch enough to put over the inner frame of the stocking donner. I can't imagine any benefit to putting on regular socks this way unless they are really tight. The sock would definitely have to stretch some -- a good bit -- to even try it. Hope that helps. See, you still have to reach almost down to the ankle when you begin putting it on... so if someone has difficulty with that (even while seated) it may not help much. I do think it has a purpose... but I'm not sure that would be it. I found out after ordering that the local medi-supply place here carries them... maybe you can view one in person first. Good luck.

You shouldn't have a problem with this outfit. They work best if they are directly of your skin. The only thing I found was having larger clothes to fix over them. They are warm.

No. You can't even walk while wearing it. It's just for sleeping and best worn with socks under it so it doesn't slip off in the night.
