Product Details

These Men's BigFoot IOMI FootNurse Gentle Grip Diabetic Socks in Blue 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.

Dads socks

These were purchased for my Dad. He has really swollen ankles. Due to varicose veins & age. He said they fit great. Are generous around his ankle and are not tight. Therefore he bought another pack, so all good.
Great efficient and quick service.

Socks look very good with speedy delivery

These were for my grandson who has Type1 diabetes and is in his feet all day as a restaurant manager so I hope they work their magic for him. Thank you for the speedy delivery.

Semi soft top but still too tight.
But socks are well made

Thank you for taking the trouble to leave feedback for your socks and sorry to hear they are tight for you.
You may be better with our IOMI Cushion Foot range, and these have a greater stretch:

Excellent Socks

Very easy to put on as I have Parkinsons Disease. They are very comfortable to wear and stay up well, unlike other socks I have tried. I will definitely be buying them again.

Really Good 'Gentle' Socks

They stay up but without cutting into the skin at all, leaving no indentations when you take them off.

most comfortable socks ive ever had. with limited mobility they are easy to get on. no trouble in changing for correct size

The Best I've had in years!

Very comfortable; best ever, but, sadly, holes developed quickly in two of the twelve socks. It seems that Drew's are replacing them without argument.

Quality and value for money

These socks are what I have been looking for, for a couple of months now.
I tried other brands and other suppliers.
But these are of a high quality and were truly value for money

M
Mike Ryden
perfect socks

Far better than Marks and Spencer's gentle grip and bigger. Bigger size was essential with M&S product, to counter tendency to shrink in the wash, but M&S seem to have stopped doing brown in biggest size(14). Google brought me to you - way way way better

P
Patrick Leonard
2nd purchase from you never again.

These socks are not as promoted or as they were some years ago, the top is now more elasticised, not loose even though my foot and ankle are smaller than in earlier years. Gave the first lot away and these were a waste of money.
Big foot? They are overall not that. Note you are using a product that is used to hold a garment skin tight. Then boast no elastic not sure if that musleading.
