Very skeptical at first but very pleasantly surprised!
I was skeptical but very pleasantly surprised! I am a big guy at 320 lbs and am diabetic type 2.  I wear Bistro Pro Crocs every day and even though I'm a big boy I am pretty active with my work.  Iv'e never believed in the 'magnets', 'copper', 'ionized water' etc...BS that is out there.  I thought I would give these a try though when my Orthotics guy recommended them (and wasn't selling them, just recommending) AND I saw another brand with the same Bamboo/Charcoal tech for sale on Ortho Shoe sight.  I worked a construction job all day helping a friend (not my normal work) and that always does a number on me and my feet usually hurt super bad that night and then all the next day.  However, after wearing these socks all day my feet weren't pain free but still felt pretty dang good and the next day they were fine.  So...I'm sold.  I only got 2 pair so I'm going to try them out a couple more times on heavy and light work days and see what the results are and report back.  I will also increase to 5 stars if these last - I hate socks, especially expensive ones - that wear out in the heel after just a couple months of use, so if these do that then they are dead to me regardless of pain relief, I'll look elsewhere - though that remains to be seen, they seem pretty well made.
