Product Details
Extraordinary comfort. Independently tested on sensitive skin.
Give sensitive feet the comfort and care they deserve with IOMI FootNurse Upside Down, Inside Out Socks. From their silky-soft bamboo blend to their cleverly positioned toe seam, every detail is designed with comfort in mind—and now there’s independent reassurance to go with it.
Dermatologically tested. Rated “excellent” for skin tolerability.
Our Upside Down, Inside Out Socks have undergone independent testing by Dermatest, combining a patch test on 30 people with sensitive skin with a separate one-week wear test involving 10 people with sensitive skin.
The result? Excellent skin tolerability, with no relevant skin reactions detected in either study. The socks also qualified to carry the Dermatest Sensitive Skin Seal—giving you extra confidence in what you wear next to your skin.*
A clever little seam. A big difference in feel.
At the heart of every pair is our innovative toe seam, positioned on the outside of the sock and beneath the crease of your toes. This thoughtful upside-down, inside-out design keeps the seam away from the usual pressure points, creating a smooth feel against sensitive feet and helping minimise rubbing and chafing.
If regular socks feel irritating, you struggle to find a comfortably wide fit, or you simply love exceptionally soft socks, take a closer look.
Silky-soft, breathable and antibacterial.
Our luxurious blend combines silky-soft bamboo with modern man-made yarns to bring you everyday comfort. The socks are also antibacterial for extra protection and peace of mind.
Bamboo’s moisture-wicking and breathable properties help keep feet feeling fresher and drier, while the additional yarns support fit, lasting shape, durability and easy care.
These standard crew-length socks sit midway between the ankle and calf for most people. Thoughtfully designed comfort, with independently tested skin tolerability to match.
Dermatest study, September 2026. Testing comprised a patch test on 30 participants and a one-week daily wear test on 10 participants with sensitive skin. Skin tolerability was rated “excellent” under the study conditions. This study assessed skin tolerability, not antibacterial performance.
