Back on Track Socks

Customers rave about these socks! They use your own body heat to create soothing relief that can help reduce inflammation, pain, or improve poor circulation. They're comfortable to wear all day long, or even while asleep. In addition to their many therapeutic properties, they are also great at keeping your toes cozy during cold weather riding. Black. Imported.

"I thought these might improve circulation in my cold feet. They trap heat but if you don't have much, they do nothing. They are thin and have a very constricting cuff, which surprised me as people with circulation problems should not wear tight-cuffed socks. My calves do run large (I take "full" calf boots), so maybe someone with thin legs would not be bothered."

"I bought a pair of “Back On Track” socks back in 2011 after speaking with a friend. I was 52. I have very bad arthritis in my left big toe and a bunion starting there as well. I was in constant pain and could not bend my toe. I had to use a sponge wrapped in vetwrap around the toe and ball of my foot in order to keep the pressure from the stirrup making it unbearable to ride. After only 2 hours of wearing the sock some of the pain had diminished and I could start to bend my toe. I wear these socks every night now and the continued use has made the pain completely go away. I ride in normal socks and boots now (no extra padding). My whole foot feels better than it ever has. I now have a bone spur in my right heel and the BOT sock is helping that as well. I recommend this product to everyone. I just bought the T-Shirt I hope that works just as well. I also use some of these products on my horse."

"I bought these socks for my Mom who has terrible ligament/tendon pain in her foot. She has noticed so much of a difference in the flexibility of her foot and has even began walking on the treadmill which she hasn't been able to do in over a year. They have been a lifesaver for her!!"

"I bought these to sleep in, to help with chronic cold feet/poor circulation; pricey but they work much better than regular socks. Medium fits a ladies 9.5 shoe size. Incidentally though, they arrived on the day that I had to hand walk a horse home (10K in Ariat winter boots) and no sore feet the next day!
I haven't had them long but gave average durability rating as a cat has managed to snag the stretchy knit fabric already.

"Definitely worth the money as a Winter liner sock for riding, alone as a sock for sleeping, and alone as a sock for regular footwear - if cold feet are a real problem for you. A bit of a high price tag if you can overcome your cold feet problems easily with just wearing extra, less expensive socks. But they've certainly been worth the high price for me personally."

"Even though my ankle made a complete successful recovery after being broken and having surgery 7 years ago, it still gets sore and twinges occassionally. The instant I put these socks on, my feet and ankles felt weightless! It was instant pain relief! Normally when I wear my not-so-broken in tall boots my fee and ankles feel tired and achy afterwards. Not with these socks! I am a form believer in this line of apparel now!"

"Love Back on Track products, and this is no exception! Great for tired and sore feet, keeps them from hurting too much at the end of the day. Also keeps feet a little warmer in the winter as a base layer. Good for arthritic feet and ankles. Love these!"

"Recently, DoversWorld sent me to Rotterdam to the European Dressage Championships--a real thrill and a show I was looking forward to attending.
The second day there, I forgot to look the 'right' way and collided with a motorbike. When I came down on the cement, my ankle was trashed.
That night, a friend loaned me a Back on Track leg wrap,which I fastened to my ankle with scarves. The relief was so great, I was able to go to sleep,even though the painkillers barely made a dent!
The next day, at the showgrounds, I saw a Back on Track shop, saw the socks and bought them.
Those socks made it possible for me to walk all over the extensive showgrounds, sleep at night, and basically have a good time. (I rotated the 2 socks, one AM, one PM, LOL)
I was so impressed, when I got home, I ordered another pair AND ordered a pair for my daughter, just in case!

"I had heard so much about Back On Track and I figured I'd give it a try on myself before I did my horses. They didn't do what they claimed. I noticed no difference. And to top it off when I took my boot off they had wear marks and frays around the ankle and it was my FIRST time wearing them. It also says on the package that after a few washes the whole effect of the sock will wear out and go away. So you pay 30 dollars for one pair that is good for a few uses. LOL...no."

"I was a bit skeptical about buying the socks. But I bought it to try anyway. It overall is warmer than two pair of Smartwool socks add together. The socks in thin and consider it is so thin it has a awesome power in keeping my feet warm. One BOT socks equals to two pairs of (heavy and mid weight) Smartwool socks' warmth in my opinion."

"I am a big fan of Back on Track products for pain management. I use the mesh sheet on my horse and we have their "mini blanket" that we use at home on ourselves and our pets.
These socks are very comfortable and are useful for pain management, but if you are looking for something to keep your toes nice and warm in your boots during the cold of winter, these were not particularly effective for me, even under another pair of socks.
so, whether to purchase or not should depend on your ultimate purpose."
