Product Details

Our Ladies Gentle Grip Plain Cotton Socks in Black/Charcoal/Grey design 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.

Also available in size UK 12½-3½

Socks redesigned, now tight and ordinary

I wish I knew what the heck happened to these socks. I've worn them religiously for the last 2+ years. When I repurchased last year the honeycomb top was now tight on my leg just like all other socks. And the sock was tight around my foot. I have lean legs and feet.
Seems the company has redesigned their offerings. I am only interested in an uncushioned cotton sock. If there's another line I should be looking at, I hope someone will let me know.
Still mourning the loss of the original gentle grips 😢

Gentle grip ladies sock

Excellent customer service. Very good quality item . Socks stay up and do not slip slip down . Bought for person with oedema- super comfortable and does not constrict lower legs

I would rather pay a bit more for better socks

The socks looked fine, though they are rather bigger than the sizing suggested - shall try and shrink them a bit! But, on turning them for washing, I found there were small clumps of one yarn along under the instep, the same on socks of more than one colour, obviously a fault with the knitting machine

Thank you for taking the trouble to leave feedback for your socks and sorry to hear of the issue.
Our Customer Service team will contact you by email to discuss this further.
Kind regards

Tops great but toes rub

The tops of these socks are great - don't leave a mark at all. However the seam at the toe is quite hard and stiff and I find it rubs. Annoying to have to wear new socks inside out to try and avoid this. I wouldn't buy these again for that reason.

Private reply to customer ...

That's a relief!

SWMBO says that she is very pleased with GG socks. They are very comfortable and it's a relief not to have rings round her legs.
