Full details
These Sock Shop Gentle Grip Diabetic Trainer socks are designed for adults, particularly females, seeking comfortable and safe hosiery. Their key benefit is the non-constricting Honeycomb Tops and hand-linked toes, which are crucial for individuals managing diabetes or circulatory issues by preventing irritation and pressure marks. A minor caveat is that they are a ladies' one size, which may not fit all foot shapes perfectly.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for everyday wear for non-diabetic individuals?
Yes, while engineered for diabetic needs, anyone seeking comfortable, non-constricting socks with a soft feel and seamless toes can benefit from wearing them.
What does 'Honeycomb Tops' mean?
Honeycomb Tops refer to a specially woven pattern at the top of the sock that allows it to gently conform to the ankle without using tight elastic, thus avoiding constriction.
Can I wear these socks in winter?
These are lightweight trainer socks, ideal for spring and summer. For colder months, you might prefer thicker socks, but they can be worn year-round if preferred.
How many pairs are included in a pack?
These socks are sold in packs of 6 pairs.
What material are the socks made of?
They are made from 77% Cotton, 15% Polyester, and 1% Elastane, making them cotton-rich for comfort and breathability.
How should I wash these socks?
They are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them according to the care label instructions.
What size are these socks?
They are a Ladies' One Size, fitting UK sizes 4-8.
Troubleshooting
Socks slipping down
Ensure feet are dry before putting them on. The Honeycomb Top is designed to grip gently; significant slipping may indicate an unusual foot shape or that the socks are not the correct size for the wearer.
Discomfort despite non-elastic design
While designed for comfort, individual sensitivities vary. Ensure the socks are the correct size and are not bunched up. Check for any unusual wear or damage.
Pilling or wear after washing
Follow machine washing instructions carefully. Using a mesh laundry bag can help protect the socks from snagging and excessive friction in the wash.
