Specialist sock producer Knit-Rite is teaming up with foot-health website Walk2BFit.com to make its SmartKnit line of hosiery products available to users.

 The SmartKnit range includes seamless socks specifically for people who have diabetes, athletic socks, and a collection of trouser-socks and tights for people who spend long periods of time on their feet. All the products have moisture- and bacteria-management qualities.

 Mark Smith, president of Knit-Rite, said on announcing the tie-up: “Our research and development teams are on a perpetual quest to develop products that support healthier living for our customers.”
