Product Information
Full details
These 6 Pairs of Ladies Gentle Grip socks by sockshop are designed for adult women seeking comfortable, stay-put hosiery. The key benefit is their gentle grip tops that prevent slipping without constricting circulation, making them ideal for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that while cotton-rich, they are not 100% cotton and may not be suitable for extreme heat. They feature a soft, breathable cotton-rich blend with a floral pattern, flat seamed toes for comfort, and are designed to be odour-free.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What material are these socks made of?
These socks are made from a soft, comfortable cotton-rich yarn consisting of 77% Cotton, 19% Polyester, 3% Polyamide, and 1% Elastane.
How do the 'gentle grip' tops work?
The gentle grip tops are designed with a special weave or material that holds the sock in place on the leg without applying excessive pressure, preventing them from falling down while remaining comfortable.
Are these socks suitable for diabetics?
While the gentle grip and flat seams offer comfort benefits, these specific socks are not explicitly labelled as diabetic socks. However, they are suitable for individuals who dislike tight tops, which can be beneficial for circulation.
What is the size range for these socks?
These socks are available in Ladies UK sizes 4-8, which corresponds to EU sizes 37-42 and US sizes 5-9.
Can I wear these socks with all types of shoes?
Yes, these socks are versatile and can be worn with a variety of footwear, including trainers, casual shoes, and boots.
How should I care for my Gentle Grip socks to ensure they last?
It is recommended to machine wash at 40°C or hand wash, use a mild detergent, and avoid bleaching. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'flat seamed toes' mean and why is it important?
Flat seamed toes means the seam that joins the toe section of the sock is sewn in a way that it lies flat against the skin, reducing the risk of irritation, rubbing, or blisters compared to traditional raised seams.
Troubleshooting
Socks still slipping down
Ensure the socks are pulled up smoothly without bunching. The gentle grip is designed to be non-constrictive; if you have very slender legs, they may require occasional adjustment. Always ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Discomfort despite 'gentle grip'
While designed for comfort, individual sensitivities vary. Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult the product packaging for alternative styles.
Fabric pilling after washing
Pilling can occur with natural fibers like cotton over time. To minimize this, wash socks inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. Air drying is often best.
