The one you normally wear to work.
What to notice
The PDX shift test
One shift.
Two socks.
Your call.
You keep the airport moving. Your feet carry every hour of it. Learn what your socks can do, put SickFit through your normal shift, and tell us how each side feels.
Left foot · What to notice
This side is your baseline. Check in on it through the shift:
- Comfort under your heel and the ball of your foot
- Whether the sock slips, bunches, or needs pulling up
- How hot or damp the foot feels by clock-out
- How tired or heavy the foot and leg feel
Right foot · What to notice
Compare this side with your left as you work:
- Arch: comfortably held, loose, or too tight
- Cuff: stays up without digging in
- Underfoot: springy, soft, or firm
- Heat and dampness compared with your left foot
- Pain, numbness, tingling, or skin irritation: remove the sock and tell your coordinator

Same shift. Same shoes. A side-by-side comparison.
How it works
One swap. Two check-ins.
This is an employee wear-test, built around your normal workday. Your job is simple: follow the setup and give honest feedback.
-
Step 1 of 4
Start with a baseline.
Complete the start survey before putting on your SickFit sock. Use the pilot code provided by your coordinator.
-
Step 2 of 4
SickFit on the right.
Keep your usual sock on the left. Wear SickFit on the right, with your usual work shoes. Check the size with your coordinator.
-
Step 3 of 4
Notice each side.
Pay attention to comfort, tiredness, dampness, and fit. Follow your normal work routine and workplace safety rules.
-
Step 4 of 4
Tell us at clock-out.
Return to this page for the end survey. Use the same pilot code and shift date. Report any adjustments or early removal.
Set yourself up to remember: Open this page before your shift and set a reminder for your scheduled clock-out. Complete the second check-in before changing socks.
Meet your pilot sock
Every feature has a job.
Your pilot sock is the SickFit Light Weight Compression Boot / PT Sock. Here is what each feature is designed to do—and why it matters when you spend the day standing and moving.
No-Slip Rib
Everyone hates a sock that slides down by noon. This one stays up all day.
Arch Compression
Holds your arch so it isn't aching by hour eight.
Energy Return
Absorbs the shock so your legs don't have to.
Reinforced Heel & Toe
That pinky-toe and heel rub everyone deals with? Fixed.
Moisture Wicking & Breathable
Pulls sweat and heat out, so feet don't end the day damp.
Cushioned Bottom
An added layer between your feet and the hard ground.
Close the loop
You worked the shift.
Now tell us how it felt.
Your feedback turns a sock trial into a useful comparison. Think about each side separately: underfoot comfort, arch support, heat, dampness, slipping, and tightness.
Before the shift
Capture your starting point before putting on SickFit. Use the pilot code your coordinator provides.
Take the before-shift surveyAfter the shift
Complete this before changing socks, with the same pilot code and shift-start date—even if you removed SickFit early.
Take the after-shift surveyYour actual experience is the answer. SickFit felt better, your usual sock felt better, or they felt the same—all are useful. If something was uncomfortable, explain what and where.
Quick answers
Before you clock in.
What if I do not notice a difference?
Say so. “About the same” is a valid answer. Honest feedback tells us more than a positive answer given out of courtesy.
Why do both check-ins matter?
Your feet may not feel the same before work. The start survey captures each side’s baseline; the end survey captures how each side changed during the shift.
Which size do I wear?
Your coordinator will confirm the pilot size against the supplied sock’s size guide. Do not assume one size fits everyone or continue if the fit feels wrong.
What happens to my feedback?
Before participation, your coordinator should provide the pilot’s privacy notice, including who receives responses and how they are used. Use the assigned pilot code rather than your name or employee ID.
What if I stop wearing the sock?
Complete the end check-in anyway. Record your wear time and why you removed it; that experience is part of the feedback.
What if my shift ends after midnight?
Use the date your shift started for both check-ins so the responses can be matched.
Who can answer a pilot question?
Ask your SSP pilot coordinator, or contact SickFit.
