Product Details

These Ladies IOMI FootNurse Gentle Grip Diabetic Socks in Purple Mix are specially designed for people with diabetes and can help you manage, aid and reduce the symptoms of your condition.

At the core of every Gentle Grip sock is our famous non-binding HoneyComb Top™, which gently stretches and contours to the natural shape of your legs. Our unique HoneyComb construction eases pressure and restriction, preventing pinching and the unpleasant compression marks typically associated with regular socks. In fact, Gentle Grip’s innovative HoneyComb Top™ construction is scientifically tested to be twice as relaxed as a regular cotton sock!

Gentle Grip’s EasyFit™ technology improves elasticity and stretch to improve fit and increase comfort. If you have limited mobility this can also help putting socks on and off, whilst hand-linked smooth 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 special mix of soft-touch cotton and modern man-made yarns. Cotton’s hollow fibres are naturally soft and breathable to keep your feet more comfortable, while modern man-made yarns improve fit, long-term shape, durability and wash care.

These non-binding socks are a made in standard crew length. This means they will pull up midway between the ankle and calf for most people.

Lovely colours

These socks seem to be soft and gentle on the skin. I have not worn them as yet as it is summer, but I have been asked to review them. I tried them on to see if the top was tight around the ankle, and it wasn't at all. I think I will enjoy wearing these when the winter temperatures come back to visit. The purple colours are lovely. A great Christmas gift too.

Keeps my feet comfortable and cool

The gentle grip means I no longer have sock marks on my legs and I don't get that tight feeling. The socks also keep my feet cool, improving my foot health and comfort. I am on my feet all day running around, so the socks are perfect for me.

No Grip Socks

Unfortunately, I found these socks to be no use at all. I needed gentle grip socks as I am diabetic and also have quite large legs. however, after the first wash, they had hardly any grip at all and slid down into my shoes as I walked, and were very uncomfortable on the soles of my feet. I have given them 2 stars as they were well made from good material.

Very pleased with the socks, they are ideal, such a relief not to have elastication around my ankles. They are soft and the colours are good.

Comfortable socks

Very comfortable to wear and easy to put on and take off. Lovely range of colours. No problems with them so far.

Comfortable

These socks are - comfortable to wear, but can make my feet feel cold as they seem to wick heat away. They do leave slight marks around my ankles but are a lot better than normal sock. I gave 3* because one pair started to unravel/ladder from the toe seam part way through 1 day of wearing them. Overall I am happy with these, I love the colours, just need to look at quality.

Hi there!

Very Disappointed

I bought some gentle grip socks a few years ago & they are still going strong!
Sadly I don’t think these will do anywhere near.
The elastic is far too loose & after a very short time they become very ‘sloppy’ on my feet.
I won’t be buying again

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the gentle grip socks. We are sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced with the elastic being too loose. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we understand that our customer service department has reached out to discuss a solution with you directly.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Gift for my Mum

My Mum has been struggling to find socks since having water retention issues. So I did some research and found these. (In her favourite colour too, bonus). I also bought the short sport socks in the diabetic range. She is over the moon with how comfortable they are and the colour of course. I have no doubt that I will be ordering more for her in the future.
