Product Details

Our Men's Bigfoot Gentle Grip Cotton Socks in Plain Black are the number one solution for people who find regular socks tight and uncomfortable.

Whether you need specific non-binding socks or you’re simply searching for the world’s most comfortable socks, our Gentle Grip socks will make your life more comfortable.

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.

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, easing 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, and if you have limited mobility this can also help putting socks on and off.

Super comfy

My husband loves these socks, has thrown out all old ones to a local charity in favour of these, because they do not make grooves in his ankles and they fit so comfortably.

So good I bought fifteen pairs!

It took a while to track gentle grip down but the effort was worth it. I've never been able to get socks that stayed where they're put before so at 81 not having to keep bending down is a double bonus - less effort and supreme comfort. Now after buying 15 pairs please stop shoving adverts for more at me, please?

they appear to be genuine GentleGrip socks

Its nice to get a sock that fits my size 12's and not the usual 6-11 or even 9-11 which have to stretch too much.
I was hoping for all black socks as in the main picture, but they come with coloured heal and toe.
It must cost extra to do this and would rather they did not and pass on the saving.
Other than that they are ok, but bit on the thin side.

sock comfort

Bought these socks hoping they would be good and comfortable but they hurt my feet so not very pleased should have bought Bamboo and not the cotton ones

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for our 3 Pairs Men's Bigfoot Cotton Socks. We're sorry to hear that they were not as comfortable as you had hoped. We do offer a free return service should you wish to return them.

Kind regards

Good

Having serious foot problems, it is good to have socks which are large enough without being too expensive.

As Advertised

I'll be buying my socks from here from now on.
They stay up without pinching or leaving a mark.
Soft and pliable but strong.
Breathe and keep feet cool.
Have washed several times and still as good as new.
Looks like they will last a long time too.
Good value

One wear and developed a whole in the toe

One wear and developed a whole in the toe. Very disappointed as the concept was great.

We are very sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with our socks. We understand how disappointing it must be, especially since you were excited about the concept. Had we been made aware of the issue, we would have sorted it out for you without any delay. Our customer service department has contacted you privately to assist in resolving this matter. Kind regards.

Wonderful quality cotton sox

I have purchased Gentle Grip on two occasions. Both times cotton with non grip tops. They fit perfectly, not too loose, nor too tight. They feel really soft and comfortable.
I got rid of all my scratchy tight sox. I definitely recommend these. The prices have been very fair, especially considering the quality. Thank you. I am very happy. George

The best

These are the best socks that money can buy, they last and last and a perfect fit for a size 12. Just about to order again.
