Diabetic Socks
Diabetic socks, compression socks, or copper socks are part of the proper foot care regiment for diabetics. Diabetic Socks are important because diabetics are more prone to the following foot conditions:
- Loss of feeling in their feet (tingling or numbness)
- Changes in the shape of their feet
- Foot ulcers or sores that do not heal properly due to restricted blood flow
It is recommended to always wear "diabetic socks",
seamless socks,
compression stockings, or nylons with your shoes to
help avoid the possibility of blisters and sores developing. The
diabetic socks featured below are made of materials that wick moisture
away from your feet, absorb shock and some feature copper infused yarn.
Aetrex Copper Socks made of these
materials help keep your feet dry and promote healing.
The copper ions infused into the yarn prevent bacteria and fungi from growing in the sock, creating a clean, fresh environment that controls odor. Additionally, the copper has been shown to provide healing benefits: rejuvenating your skin and improving its appearance & texture. Copper infused socks are the way to go for diabetics seeking a healthy sock. Read more about the
