Product Details

Walking is one of the best exercises for people living with diabetes. IOMI FootNurse Diabetic Walker Socks in Black are specially designed for people with diabetes who want to stay active and enjoy the outdoors.

At the core of every IOMI FootNurse Diabetic Walker sock is our remarkable Easy-Stretch™️ top, which gently contours to the natural shape of your legs. Our unique extra-wide construction offers a wide stretch from the very top of each sock down to the ankle to ease pressure, promote better circulation and prevent constriction hotspots, pinching and the unpleasant and often painful compression marks typically associated with regular socks.

Smooth hand-linked toe seams not only reduce irritation but also minimise internal chaffing to help eliminate the risk of blisters and cuts that can be more problematic for people living with diabetes.

Made with a select blend of soft-touch Merino wool that makes the perfect material for walking socks. Merino wool is famous for next-to-skin softness and high levels of elasticity. Its naturally breathable fibres promote better moisture management to keep feet drier, while its active properties respond to and regulate changes in temperature to help keep your feet warm when it’s cold and cooler when the weather’s hot. Unlike many other yarns, Merino wool can absorb large amounts of moisture vapour to move sweat away from your skin. It can even help repel and manage unpleasant odours.

As well as offering comfort, walking socks need to be tough – and we haven’t compromised on durability. IOMI FootNurse Diabetic Walker sock feature a reinforced heel and toe and rate highly in laboratory abrasion tests.

These IOMI FootNurse foot Diabetic Walker socks are made in standard crew length. This means they will pull up midway between the ankle and calf for most people.

Well-fitting hiking socks

These are thick, winter-weight socks. They fit me neatly and don't slide down my legs; I found them very comfortable. They have machine-washed well on a wool setting. I would like to see a lighter-weight option for summer walking.

too thick

They are not what I need. I need some fairly thick socks to protect my swollen & painful feet from the shoes, but I can't get into them with these socks.

We are really sorry to hear that the socks you received are too thick for your needs. We understand how important it is to find the right fit, especially when dealing with swollen and painful feet.

As an alternative, we recommend trying our Iomi Cushion Foot diabetic socks. They are designed to provide comfort and support without being overly thick, making them easier to wear with your shoes.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please feel free to contact our Customer Service department.

Best regards
