FAQs
What makes these socks 'Gentle Grip'?
The 'Gentle Grip' feature refers to the HoneyComb top, which is a non-elasticated band designed to hold the sock up comfortably without constricting circulation or leaving marks on the leg.
Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they are designed for everyday comfort, especially for individuals who need or prefer non-constricting socks.
Can people with diabetes wear these socks?
Yes, the non-elasticated and non-constricting design makes them particularly suitable for individuals with diabetes who need to maintain good circulation in their feet and legs.
What material are these socks made of?
These socks are primarily made of a cotton-rich blend, consisting of 76% Cotton, 19% Polyester, 3% Nylon, and 2% Elastane.
What sizes are available?
They are available in one size, fitting UK shoe sizes 4-8, which corresponds to EU sizes 37-42.
How should I wash these socks?
They are machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean.
What does the floral pattern mean?
The 'Purple Floral' variant features a decorative floral pattern in shades of purple, adding a stylish touch to the comfortable design.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too loose and slip down.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For some individuals with very slender legs, even the gentle grip may be too loose. Consider trying a sock with a slightly different top design if this persists.
Discomfort despite being non-elasticated.
Check the internal seams for any potential irritation points. Ensure the socks are correctly positioned on the foot and leg without bunching.
Material feels less breathable than expected.
While cotton-rich, the blend includes polyester and elastane. Ensure socks are washed before first use. If breathability remains an issue, consider alternative 100% cotton options if available.
Color fades after washing.
Follow the care instructions carefully, washing in cool or moderate temperatures and avoiding harsh detergents. Washing inside out can also help preserve color.
