Dr. Scholl's Plantar Fasciitis Hydrogel Flex Pain Patches

Helped alot with my extreme foot pain and lasted a good portion of the day, however sometimes they slipped off in my sock and if you wash them with your clothes causes a mess on whatever you wash it with.

Took so long to arrive. No relief and the patches did not stick.

Omg! I'm having a very painful plantar fasciitis flare up. I bought these praying that they would give a little relief. I cannot believe that they took the pain completely away! I could barely walk before I put one of these patches on, but now I can walk, no limp at all! I bought these yesterday and I am buying more today so I don't run out! It's so nice when a product ACTUALLY does what is says it does :)

I purchased these patches hoping for consistent pain relief, but the results were underwhelming. The hydrogel layer felt comfortable at first, but the effect faded quickly—far from the long-lasting support advertised. After about an hour, the cooling sensation disappeared and the discomfort in my heel returned as if I wasn’t wearing anything at all. The biggest problem was the adhesion. Even on clean, dry skin, the patches started peeling at the edges within a short time. By mid-day they had shifted out of place, which completely defeats the purpose of a product meant to stay aligned with the plantar area. I tried using them during normal daily activities, and the movement only made things worse. I also expected the lidocaine and menthol combination to provide noticeable relief, but the effect was extremely mild. It offered a brief numbing sensation that didn’t penetrate deeply enough to address real plantar pain. For anyone dealing with consistent foot strain, this level of performance simply isn’t enough. Overall, these patches didn’t deliver meaningful support or stability. Between the weak adhesion and minimal pain relief, they fell short of my expectations. I would not rely on them for daily use.

I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis for years and the trick is to not give up, but try things until you find what works or at least helps for you. For me these patches fit right onto my arch, where I still have pain and I put them on at night and they do wonders. I get the patches are hard to keep in place when walking, so you can use roll on Dr. Scholls for daytime or find some wrapping to hold them in place. There is something about the delivery of the concentration of medication in the patches that takes it next level.
