New SmartKnit Diabetic Socks

29/09/2006

176 million people around the world have diabetes and often the feet and legs are at high risk of loss of sensation (neuropathy), reduced circulation, foot ulcers, delayed wound healing, and infection.

For this reason, The Diabetic Sock Store has released SmartKnit Seamless Diabetic Socks. These seamless socks reduce pressure and irritation on the toes, while the form-fitting design helps to prevent wrinkling or bunching. The patented Halo Top design removes the need for elastic in the top of the sock to prevent the sock from cutting into the leg, causing painful indentations and reduced circulation.

The sock incorporates high-tech CoolMax or X-Static silver fibres. CoolMax fibres are said to wick moisture away to keep feet dry and comfortable. An antibacterial finish on the sock also helps prevent bacteria growth and odour. X-Static silver fibres act as a natural antimicrobial and antifungal, which is hygienic and reduces odour. The socks are available in a variety of styles, including mini-crew, crew, over-the-calf and wide.
