What are diabetic socks?

Diabetic socks are padded socks designed to support foot care for people living with diabetes. People with diabetes may experience changes in nerve function and blood flow, which may make foot care a high priority.  Diabetic socks may help reduce plantar pressure and provide foot protection. 

What are the benefits of using diabetic socks?

Wearing socks for diabetes may offer several benefits, including:

  • Moisture management: moisture-wicking materials help keep feet dry, which may reduce the risk of fungal infections​.

  • Comfortable design: seamless designs and soft fabrics may help prevent blisters and irritation, which can be a concern for those with sensitive feet​.

  • Circulation support: non-binding cuffs may allow for better blood flow, avoiding the tightness that regular socks can create​.

  • Antimicrobial features: some diabetic socks include copper or silver-infused yarns, which may help keep feet fresh and reduce the spread of microbes.

  • Extra cushioning for protection: padding in key areas may help absorb pressure and reduce friction, offering additional comfort for those on their feet throughout the day​.

Who should not use/wear diabetic socks?

While diabetes socks are beneficial for many, they may not be suitable for everyone. It’s best to consult your healthcare professional who can help you determine whether diabetic socks are right for you.

What is the difference between diabetic socks and normal socks?

The biggest differences between diabetic socks and regular socks are in the design, materials and function:

  • Seamless construction: regular socks may have seams that create friction, while diabetic socks are made to reduce irritation.

  • Non-binding fit: many normal socks have tight elastic bands that can restrict circulation, whereas diabetic socks are designed to be loose-fitting without slipping.

  • Moisture-wicking technology: unlike regular socks, many diabetes socks are designed to draw moisture away from the skin, helping to reduce the risk of infections.

  • Antimicrobial properties: some diabetic socks include special fibres like copper or silver to help reduce bacteria and odour.
