Frequently Asked Questions

How does wave compression help with plantar fasciitis?
The wave compression pattern on the plantar surface of the DCS sleeve creates a series of graduated pressure zones along the bottom of the foot that mimic the effect of a sustained manual stretch on the plantar fascia. Unlike flat compression sleeves that apply uniform pressure, the wave pattern targets the fascia specifically, providing a gentle, continuous stretch during walking and standing. This helps maintain fascia flexibility throughout the day, reducing the tightening that leads to pain — particularly the sharp first-step pain experienced in the morning.

How is this sleeve different from a night splint?
A night splint holds the foot in dorsiflexion during sleep to prevent the plantar fascia from contracting overnight — it is a passive, static device used only during rest. The Darco DCS sleeve is a daytime compression garment worn inside your shoe during activity. It provides dynamic support and sustained plantar fascia stretch while you walk and stand, promoting circulation and reducing fatigue. The two products address different phases of plantar fasciitis management and are often used together as part of a comprehensive treatment program.

How do I select the correct size?
Select your size based on your shoe size using the size guide above. The sleeve should fit snugly without cutting off circulation — you should feel gentle compression on the bottom of the foot and around the ankle without numbness or tingling. If you are between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for comfort. The Comfort Zone on the anterior ankle fold is designed to prevent the top edge of the sleeve from digging in or binding, regardless of size.

Can I wear this sleeve all day inside my shoe?
Yes. The DCS sleeve is designed for all-day wear inside most standard footwear. The low-profile construction keeps it from adding significant bulk inside the shoe. Wear a thin sock over the sleeve for comfort and hygiene. Remove and wash the sleeve regularly — hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can affect the compression properties of the medical-grade fabric.
