SLS3 Plantar Fasciitis Sleeves Review

SLS3 was founded in 2004 by two German triathletes who fell in love and were both very passionate about being triathletes.  They started by making a triathlon suit, short, top and compression socks.    After all, that is all that was needed to do a triathlon and they didn’t have much money.  As they have grown, they started to branch out to cover what their customers wanted. 

Now each item is custom designed from scratch and tested by them.  If it meets their high standards, then they put the item into production.  Most of their products are made in the USA.  They believe in keeping a small carbon footprint and partnering with smaller businesses.  Today I will be reviewing the SLS3 Plantar Fasciitis Sleeves.

First we should start be discussing what Plantar Fasciitis is.  It is the most common cause of heel pain.  The Plantar Fascia is a flat band of ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes.  Its primary purpose is to support the arch of your foot, which is why Plantar Fasciitis is such a common injury in runners.  When you strain your planter fascia, it tends to get weak, swollen, or inflamed. (1)  The result is a terrible pain on the bottom of your foot or heel that hurts when you stand or walk. For severe cases, a walking boot might be required as part of a recovery plan.

Plantar Fasciitis sleeves are designed to provide compression to relieve the often excruciating pain and discomfort associated with Plantar Fasciitis.  They can also be useful in pain associated with Achilles tendon and stress fracture injuries.  The sleeves offer support and improve circulation, which will help you heal faster and get back to your training. 

The SLS3 Plantar Fasciitis Sleeves are comfortable enough to wear all day long, but have enough support and compression to help with foot pain or just speed up your recovery after hard workouts or runs.  The construction and materials are good quality and the price is decent.  You get a pair (2 sleeves) for $19.90 on Amazon.  I don’t have Plantar Fasciitis, so I can’t speak to how well they help with that pain, but I felt the difference when I wore them after my long runs and intervals.  My feet felt fresher the next day, which I was impressed with.  I would assume they would be great for Plantar Fascia pain as well.

Pros:

Comfortable to wear, even for extended amounts of time

Reduces inflammation

Reduces pain and discomfort

Helps stabilize muscle tissue and weak ankles

Great price $19.90 (for a pair)
