Relief Genius Cold Therapy Socks with Reusable Gel Ice Packs - Large (1 Pair), Cotton/Polyester Blend, Dry Skin Type, Pain and Inflammation Relief

I used these during chemo to help prevent neuropathy. They get nice and cold and stayed that way long enough to be effective during treatment, but I did have to slide in some small ice packs since I needed to keep them on so long. It definitely gave me peace of mind knowing I was doing something proactive to reduce side effects. The only small downside was that the ice packs can slip out a bit while you’re putting them on, which can be a little awkward at first. Once everything is in place though, they work great and stay put.

I cannot speak highly enough about this purchase. I’m 30 weeks pregnant (this is my 4th pregnancy but first during summer months) and my feet and ankles have been swelling and hurting so bad. I immediately got online and searched and searched. I finally landed on these pairs and I’m soooo glad I did. They fit great, I typically wear a woman’s 8 or 9 and was able to get them over my swollen fat feet just fine. Flexible to slide the foot in. The ice packs are cool enough to help but not like uncomfortable freezing pain. Value for money is great. I would absolutely buy these again in a heartbeat. So worth it to me personally.

The not so great stuff: 1) I am a woman and I wear women's US11W, the equivalent of EU43 (wide width). I bought the Large pair, and they *barely* fit lengthwise. The cold packs that go into the soles of the socks are even shorter than the socks themselves, not by a lot but by enough. The upshot is, if you have feet larger than I do, you will not be able to wear these. 2) On the instructions that come with the socks, it doesn't tell you how long to freeze them before use, or at least I couldn't find it. I finally found the info elsewhere online and it's two hours. 3) The cold packs are very hard to get into the socks when frozen. The photo on Amazon shows the socks almost being a moleskin or fake suede, but in reality they are made of thin, silky overly stretchy material that is very hard to deal with. I found that it's best to put the cold packs into the socks while they are warm and easy to work with, then freeze everything together, leaving the cold packs in the socks all the time unless you're laundering the socks. 4) Because the socks are almost too short, the heel cold packs are useless for me. They also make it impossible for me to get the socks on, and it's still super hard to get those packs in afterward. So basically, the heel packs stay in the freezer all the time and I don't use them at all. If your main area of concern is your heels and your feet are my size, beware. 5) I have a high instep, so it's really hard for me to get my foot into what amounts a narrow channel when the packs are frozen and installed. There is plenty of room once my foot is in, but it's a pain to get them on every time. I've had to learn the "trick" to doing it, but even with that, it's not easy. 6) I wouldn't walk around in these without house slippers on, especially on wood floors, they are too slick. However, they work fine with my house slippers, so I get to keep them on when I need to get up to do something instead of having to take them on and off all the time. Now let's get to the good things: 1) The cold packs really work. My feet get much hotter than the rest of my body at times, especially my toes, and these socks absolutely work as advertised. They can be a bit TOO cold at first, so I found that if I wait about five minutes after removing from the freezer, they are more pliable (easier to get on) and are not so cold that they are painful. 2) If it's a normal room temperature, they will stay cold a good while, more than enough time to get your feet cooled down for as long as it's healthy to use an ice pack on skin. They of course will warm up faster the hotter the room is, but that's to be expected. 3) Because the cold packs are removable, the socks are actually really easy to keep clean. You can just throw them in the washer. I haven't put mine in the dryer, I just hang them up to dry, but they dry quickly so it's not a big deal. 4) The socks come in a handy bag with a zip top that you can put them into to keep them in the freezer. The bag is surprisingly sturdy and because it's a zip top you can pack it in luggage, etc. and not worry about it. OVERALL: Overall I am fairly happy with the socks. They are not exactly what I was looking for, but at the end of the day, after a learning curve on a few things, they do the job and help keep my feet nice and cool.

These "ice pack booties" (my nickname for them) have been a game-changer for me! I have peripheral neuropathy, plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia, so I've been experiencing some pretty severe foot pain. I've spent literally thousands of dollars on various medical visits and diagnostics and am now taking a nerve medication that has helped some with the nerve pain, but not the metatarsalgia. After I've been on my feet for a while, they really hurt, and this ice pack works well for me to help reduce the pain. They are easy to use -- I keep them in my freezer in the bag they were shipped in, and when my feet start hurting, I slip these on and rest in the recliner with my feet up. Because these socks have 3 ice packs (one that covers the sole of my foot, one across the top of my foot where I have a lot of pain, as well as one for the achilles area), they help relieve pain in all of the areas of my feet where I experience pain. I typically wear an 8-8.5 shoe, so I chose the large and it fits well for me. I've been using them almost daily for about 3 months, and they continue to work well for me. (I don't try to walk in them, I just use them when I put my feet up.) I am thankful to have found something that helps give me some relief!

They stayed cold for at least 90 min. Did not have a warm lining as stated but I had bought very thin white cotton gloves which helped. Size medium will not fit a woman sz. 9 I had to buy the Large which just fit. Not sure what a larger shoe size would need. The nurse helped put the ice packs into the socks. There was no leakage and the quality is good. The gloves are very heavy after frozen which makes sense. I put them in the freezer several days before needing them. I don't think the socks stayed as frozen as long as the gloves but I had the extra packets from the previous pair that I bought. You definetly need 2 sets of gloves & ice packs for socks if you have a long treatment as I did **4 hrs.

Love the idea of these but didn’t love them. I got these when I was pregnant because my feet were so so swollen and ice helped a lot. These were not super comfy as the ice packs were hard. So I couldn’t walk well with them on. They were also a little snug. Wouldn’t purchase again but I did use them and they helped a decent amount

I usually don’t write reviews but had to considering how much this has helped me with pain relief on my feet and wrists. I’ve used this product for a month now and the cooling effect is so much better than just using regular ice. Swelling goes down fast and helps with recovery as I’m also an active person who runs and lifts weights. The material is top notch and doesn’t feel cheap at all. The size is also perfect on me since i was worried it won’t fit at first.

These were used for cryotherapy during chemotherapy. I would recommend these over the scuzzi brand: 1 Relief Genius stayed colder than the other brand. 2. The booties fit more snugly (I've got size 10W feet), which is what you need to get benefit. Considering ordering a second pair of these mits because these worked so well. Need to see if they have a cap for cold capping (manage scalp chemo toxicity). The scuzzi brand is fine but warms quickly. You need several of them on rotation to get through a chemo session. Hope this helps others.

Bastante útiles, en mi caso los utilicé por fascitis plantar y resultaron una maravilla, excelente material, buena calidad. 10/10

No es posible elegir la talla. Buen producto

My feet have been so sore so I’ve been willing to try a few different things. The socks were high quality (much better then they looked in terms of quality). The socks have little pockets which the ice packs can be easily inserted. The relief makes it worth every dollar.

This is my second time ordering these for my boyfriend, he’s got bad neuropathy pain in his feet and he has lost so much sleep prior to using these. His sleep has improved so much, he wears one pair and keeps the other pair in the fridge so that when the pair he’s wearing gets warm, he can just switch them out and go right back to sleep. 100% recommend :)

Great thank you!
