“They are amazing and I would not be selling them unless I was 110 per cent behind them. If I didn’t believe in them I wouldn’t be here,” she said.
Five years ago, Dingwell was in a car accident, her car flipped over and she injured the base of her spine. After the accident, she had to use a cane.
Then in 2008, she was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and restless leg syndrome.
She felt helpless.
In December, Dingwell’s friend Shelley Fraser gave her VoxxLife socks.
“Take them home and wear them to bed,” said Fraser.
Dingwell, who was ready to try anything, did as she was told.
“I slept good last night,” thought Dingwell the next morning.
After several nights of peaceful sleep, Dingwell knew it had to be the socks easing her restlessness.

“They’re socks! How could socks do that?”she said.
Later, Dingwell’s doctor told her she no longer needed her cane.
Now, she also doesn’t have to take medication for restless leg syndrome.
VoxxLife is a Canadian company launched in Canada in June 2016. Launched in the U.S. in December 2016, it is a health and wellness company that makes socks and insoles to improve quality of life.
The socks and insoles use fibres and yarn that touches the bottom of the feet and sends signals to the brain telling the body to relax, said Dingwell.
“They are good for balance strength stability, range of motion. Our mission is to help and put socks on 2.5 billion people.”
Dingwell, along with Fraser and her daughter, joined over 30 exhibitors and their booths Friday on the first day of the weekend long Provincial Home Show at the Eastlink Centre in Charlottetown.
Other vendors included the P.E.I. Rifle Association and Jaiyi Development Inc., and a craft house that specializes in making trinkets using perler beads.
Joyce Yu, the owner of Jaiyi Development Inc. is happy to be a part of the Home Show after moving to P.E.I. from China four years ago to start her business. Her two daughters, who play with the beads, inspired her to start the business.
“I like it very much. I have two daughters and they really love this. And the kids really liked this in China.”
The three-day Home Show continues until March 12.
