Product Information
Full details
These Gentle Grip Diabetic Socks are designed for adult women seeking comfortable, non-constricting legwear. Their key benefit is the HoneyComb Top that prevents tightness and improves circulation, making them ideal for individuals with diabetes, those on long journeys, or anyone sensitive to compression. A potential caveat is their specific sizing, so checking the UK 4-8 / EUR 37-42 range is important. The socks are made from a soft, cotton-rich blend for all-day wear.

FAQs
What makes these socks 'diabetic-friendly'?
They are designed with a non-elasticated HoneyComb Top that avoids constriction, which is crucial for maintaining healthy circulation in individuals with diabetes.
What does 'Cotton Rich' mean?
'Cotton Rich' indicates that the majority of the sock's material is cotton (76% in this case), providing softness, breathability, and comfort.
Can anyone wear these socks, or only people with specific medical conditions?
While ideal for people with diabetes or circulation issues, anyone can wear these socks for their superior comfort, softness, and non-binding fit.
How should I wash these socks?
They are machine washable up to 40°C. Avoid bleach and high heat for drying to maintain the fabric's integrity.
What is the 'HoneyComb Top' feature?
It's a special knitting technique that creates a looser, more flexible top band which gently grips the leg without constricting it, preventing marks and improving blood flow.
What sizes are available?
These socks are available in one size, designed to fit women's shoe sizes UK 4-8, which corresponds to EU 37-42.
How many pairs come in a pack?
This specific product listing is for a pack of Blue Floral patterned socks. The product information indicates they are available in choices of 3, 6 or 12 pairs, but this variant is for the Blue Floral design.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel slightly loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size (UK 4-8 / EUR 37-42). For a snugger fit, a gentle wash and tumble dry on low heat may help slightly shrink the fabric.
Discomfort despite being non-elastic
Check if the socks are inside out or bunched up. Ensure they are pulled up smoothly to conform to the leg's natural shape.
Socks show premature wear
Follow the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or high heat drying.
Colour fading
Wash with similar colours and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
