Sunday

The instructions that came with them said to wear them around 12 hours and that's more or less what I've done

If having a pair that reached to the top of my metatarsals rather going to my toes would let blood flow to my forefoot improve I'd do it in a minute. Cold feet has been a sleeping problem for me. I"d like to sleep and not wake in the middle of the night with cold feet

But, maybe things are the best they can be. That would be a drag, but I know I've got a chronic problem and blood flow and peripheral neuropathy is along that same path.
