To avoid uncomfortable rubbing against the skin, can high socks be worn to stop this issue?

I am able to put them on over high socks and even long pajama bottoms. It does help to reduce rubbing, but sometimes I will need to twist them one way or another to make them the most comfortable.

No the elastic is not as tight as many socks so they don't dig into the tissues when his legs are swollen. This is the 2nd package we have ordered. He thinks they are quite comfortable. No tight places to rub.

No I follow my usual routines. I do keep socks on due to the skin flaking off.

It would be difficult, as the toe separaters spread your toes outward and shoes would cramp your feet. I think the whole purpose of these socks is to wear them on bare feet at night or leisurely around the house so your toes will eventually have room to align correctly.

I've never tried it personally but I don't see why not. On their website they showed someone standing on the mat with socks on so you should probably use it like that.

I think I understand what you mean, and they're probably pretty slippery, I used them only for running--they're made of synthetic fibers so they don't cause friction/blisters while running--but, I don't think these are the socks you want

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

You might check Brightlifedirect - they have things to help put on compression socks/stockings (which they mainly sell), so maybe something like that would help. Arcoa actually makes something to help with socks, check out their site to see many products. They go under Arcmate now, it seems, particularly for such helpful gadgets.

I am sure they will make your feet sweat if you don't wear socks as they are not lined with anything. I have only had mine this winter and don't know how they will be in warmer weather. Although awkward to put on I am very pleased with mine so far and they are relatively comfortable to wear.

Yes, your feet should be bare but you can wear cotton socks. It does decrease the contact somewhat, but it's better than no grounding at all. You can also sit on the mat or place the mat on your desk where you rest your arms or wrists. I don't know whether it would effect your computer if you put the mat under it, so it would be easier to put your wrists or arms on. I don't think so. Did you read the book, Earthing? It gives a lot of info.

I'm sure you can if you wish, but to be honest, my wife does not wear socks with them!!

I have worn them for a short time without a sock and they "grab" my heel pretty well. If it was a tight fitting sock it might work. Maybe use an Ace bandage to hold them in place as they do need to be in place to work.

My ankles tend to swell and when I take my socks off there is usually an indentation, with these the was none. HOPE THAT HELPS.

Not at all. Your feet feel well planted. Its surface is uneven and textured. The mat has suction underneath to hold it in place.

I am going to try this cream with silcone heel socks- which works great to reduce the pain from standing on crakced heels. Let us know if you tried it!

This is definitely worn with footwear. For example, I put this on; over it my tennis socks; over that my tennis shoes. I don't play tennis any more without wearing the Bauerfeind support to prevent future injury.
