The Best Diabetic Socks - Endorsed by UK College of Podiatry

Posted on 11 Apr 2023

Did you know that approximately 1.8 million Australians live with Diabetes.

Created specifically for diabetics or suitable for those who are seeking a little more comfort, these superb cotton rich socks are created without elastic so they do not have the tightness of regular socks for those with circulatory problems.

IOMI foot nurse is a leading brand in Health and Wellbeing socks. With specialists socks catered to a wide range of people. Who knew a pair of socks could help promote wellness? 

Sockshop's IOMI Footnurse recently announced The College of Podiatry’s endorsement of the IOMI footnurse Gentle Grip and Cushion Foot Diabetic socks. The endorsement is a huge milestone for SOCKSHOP and the IOMI footnurse range which are ‘made to care’ and endeavour to help manage symptoms of diabetes while raising awareness of the healthcare benefits of specialised socks. 

Championing socks as the unsung hero of our wardrobes, SOCKSHOP are known as leading designers and innovators of socks with purpose. Their fantastic design proves that a good pair of socks really does make you Feel Good From The Feet Up and their IOMI Footnurse range is no different! T

he Gentle Grip Diabetic Socks offer the style and comfort of the SOCKSHOP Gentle Grip range plus the benefits of specialised diabetic socks. The extra-wide Honeycomb TopTM gently moulds to legs to stay up all day long without pinching while a smooth hand-linked toe seam prevents nicks and sores that could lead to infection.

IOMI Cushion Foot Diabetic Socks are designed to manage the symptoms of diabetes and help prevent cuts, sores and infection with FootnurseR Easy StretchTM, cushioned soles, smooth toe seams and extra-wide legs, plus CoolMax fibre and SanitizedTM ActiFresh.

The College of Podiatry is the premier podiatry organisation in the United Kingdom and promotes guidelines and standards of practice that are evidence-based and ensure the safety of patients and clinical effectiveness, with a focus on outcomes. It campaigns to raise awareness among the general public and at government level that good lower-limb health is essential and that podiatry is a key element of preventative medicine. 

The College of Podiatry’s panel tried and tested the Gentle Grip and Cushion Foot styles over 1 month and concluded that they were beneficial to those managing the symptoms of diabetes and that they were to be endorsed as a recommended product. SOCKSHOP is thrilled about the partnership and hope to extend this endorsement across the wider IOMI footnurse range.
