Product Information

Full details

The Gentle Grip Diabetic Socks in Grey (Size 4-8) are designed for adults experiencing swollen feet and ankles due to conditions like oedema or lymphoedema. They offer natural comfort and breathability with a soft-touch cotton material, while the non-elastic honey comb top prevents constriction. A key benefit is the hand-linked toe for smooth seams, reducing irritation. A minor caveat is that while designed for swelling, individual fit may vary.

FAQs

Who are these socks designed for?

These socks are specifically developed for adults experiencing symptoms of oedema, lymphoedema, fluid retention, and other conditions associated with swollen feet and ankles.

What does 'Non Elastic' mean for the sock top?

It means the top band of the sock does not have elastic that constricts the leg. Instead, it uses a 'Honeycomb Top' design that gently moulds to the leg without causing pressure or leaving marks.

Are these socks suitable for diabetics?

Yes, they are specifically developed as 'Diabetic Socks' due to their non-elastic nature and smooth seams, which help prevent irritation and pressure points often a concern for individuals with diabetes.

How should I wash these socks?

They are machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleaching, high heat tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain their material integrity and shape.

What material are the socks made from?

The socks are made from Soft Touch Cotton, providing natural comfort and breathability.

What size do these grey socks come in?

This specific product listing is for Size 4-8 UK.

Can these socks help with very severe swelling?

While designed to help with swelling, they primarily offer non-constricting comfort. For very severe swelling, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate management.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For persistent looseness, consult product sizing guides or consider if a different product might offer more support.

Skin irritation despite smooth seams

While rare, discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the socks are clean and free from any residual detergent.

Socks not drying properly

Ensure the socks are not overloaded in the washing machine and are dried on a low heat setting as recommended. Proper ventilation during air drying can also help.
