The Bitly compression sleeves, also known as plantar fasciitis socks, are among the most popular products on the market when it comes to foot compression. They’re made of a soft and breathable fabric that has moisture-wicking and odor-control properties to keep your feet dry and odor-free all day long.
They come with an innovative compression design to provide a bracing effect on your foot and stimulate blood flow to allow for faster recovery and efficient pain relief to those suffering from plantar fasciitis.
These Bitly compression sleeves are available in four different colors and four size options including small, medium, large and x-large.
Arch Support
The Bitly compression sleeves are highly-rated by both men and women,who are suffering from plantar fasciitis. This is made possible with its targeted arch support and compression which runs throughout the entire length of your foot.
Apart from that, they are known to provide relief for foot pain, supposing you order the correct size. The compression in the arch area is enough that it should help stimulate blood circulation and allow for better recovery from foot-related injuries.
As compression sleeves, they can be worn for a multitude of reasons. For those that need arch support, these Bitly socks are ideal for ensuring your plantar fascia is properly stretched throughout the day, during active and non-active periods.
Since they’re made with a breathable and moisture-wicking material, you really can expect them to be light, airy and odor free.
And not only have they been known to help those with pains from plantar fasciitis, they also have been lauded for their ability to help some with other foot problems, like achilles tendonitis.
Ankle and Heel Support
The Bitly compression sleeves are designed like normal socks, except that they have an open toe design. However, since they fully extend up to your ankles, you can expect ample support on the ankles as well. This is because their targeted compression isn’t just limited to your underfoot, but it also is felt up to your ankles as well
They provide enough heel support and can help relieve the pain brought on by heel spurs. However, the compression in the heel area is less compared to that in the arch. Regardless, the support is sufficient in both areas as per many people that have tried them on and worn them with success.
Overall Feel
As far as how these Bitly compression sleeves feel, they do offer a considerable amount of tension right in the arch area. It’s more so felt there than any other area. In fact, when we tried them on, we felt that the tension is right about in line with the SB Sock compression sock – which is to say, just about right for those that want comfort as well as functionality.
They come in several different sizing options, so you’ll have to order according to what you think is best for your foot shape. The product page offers a sizing chart to help you determine which is best for you, and we ended up getting the sizing right. So it fit true to size and was comfortable and effective.
As far as comparing them to other brands, we felt that this sleeve was the easiest to get on. The fabric was smooth and thin and slipped right on with no stretching and pulling due to too much tightness. These compression socks felt really good when completely fitted.
Use
The Bitly compression sleeves are marketed to provide supportive relief to those who suffer from plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot problems, pregnant moms, athletes, or simply those who require adequate heel support.
They’re also ideal for those who need a sock that is lightweight and provides more support than a standard sock. Your normal socks can easily slide over them and still fit just the same in your shoe. But they can also be worn alone inside the shoe, especially since they have an odorizing feature to keep them fresh.
