Yes. During brutal withdrawal from Ropinirole. My American cousin got them for me.They didn't do anything for my severe RLS.

They might work on very mild, occasional RLS. The straps tighten around your feet and hurt and the pain distracts you momentarily.

same as Jools. I convinced myself they worked a bit but really they did nothing. Bought them at a desperate time, like several other applications. Keep looking - something that works for you is out there (for me it was Gabapentin - 80 per cent reduction). Best of luck. Alex
