Diabetic socks: common questions
What are diabetic socks?
"Diabetic socks" is the name for socks designed around what many people with diabetes look for in an everyday sock: a non-binding top that doesn't squeeze, a seamless toe, soft breathable fabric, cushioning and a light color. There's no single official standard, so features vary by brand.
Are these diabetic socks?
They're non-binding comfort socks with the features people shopping for diabetic socks usually look for: a loose top, a seamless toe, a cushioned sole and a white color. They're not a medical device and make no medical claims. If your doctor has recommended a specific sock, follow that advice.
Are diabetic socks compression socks?
Usually not. Most diabetic socks are non-binding — the opposite of compression — and ours have no compression at all. Some specialty products add light compression, so ask your doctor before choosing a compression sock.
Are diabetic socks loose or tight?
Loose at the top. A diabetic-style sock is designed so the cuff doesn't grip the leg, while the foot still fits snugly enough not to bunch. Ours use a relaxed, non-binding top band for exactly that fit.
Do non-binding diabetic socks stay up?
Yes. The top is knit loose rather than removed, so it holds the sock in place without squeezing. Picking the right size helps: a sock that's too big is more likely to slide.
What are your socks made of?
A soft blend of 90% cotton, 7% polyester and 3% elastane, with a cushioned heel and ball of the foot and a seamless toe.
Do you make diabetic socks for men and for women?
Yes — both styles are unisex. Medium fits women's shoe 5–10 and men's 6–8, Large fits women's 10–13 and men's 8–12, and X-Large fits women's 14+ and men's 12+ (sock size 13–15).
Crew or ankle?
Crew socks reach mid-calf for more coverage and warmth, and work with boots and work shoes. Ankle socks sit just above the shoe for sneakers, loafers and warm weather. Both have the same loose top and seamless toe.
Do you sell no-show diabetic socks?
Not yet. Our ankle socks are the lowest cut we make — they sit just above the shoe line with the same non-binding top.
Can I wear these if I have diabetes?
Many people choose non-binding socks for their loose, gentle fit. Your doctor or foot-care specialist is the right person to tell you which socks suit your feet.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle, warm or cold. Tumble dry low or air dry. Skip bleach and high heat to keep the top band and fabric in shape.
