Dr. Scholl's Plantar Fasciitis Pain Patches with Hydrogel Flexible Technology, 8 Ct // Clinically Tested 12-Hour Daily Pain Relief - Contours to Your Foot - with Lidocaine & Menthol, 8 Treatments

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.

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.

The patches helped with pain relief but they do not stay in place very well. I have awful pain in my heel so I decided to try these. It says in the instructions to avoid intense exercise but even just walking casually the patch would come off or get rolled up in my sock. These would be fine if you're just sitting all day

I was genuinely surprised with how well these work. I’m on my feet for my new job for at least 10 hours a day and these make the pain go away completely. I would say the relief is there until about hour 9 then it’s a bit uncomfortable but nothing like the pain I had before. Will definitely be repurchasing these!

Icing helped more than these patches. They don’t stay on and I really didn’t feel a difference in my pain.

After two days of trying them while awake, I tried one when I slept and WOW! This is the way to do it. Use your night splint (or wear shoes, or do whatever it is you do to keep your foot properly angled while you sleep) along with the patch. I woke up and walked with no pain for the first time in years. Yes, some pain crept back over the course of the day, but it was nothing like it had been previously. I'm doing a second overnight tonight and have high hope for tomorrow morning. I ordered another box because I want to have these available after my big walking days. I will note that I used tape to secure the edges. I can be twitchy when I sleep and I didn't want to lose the patch.

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