Diabetic Socks with Padded Sole by OrthoFeet

Great socks! So comfortable too. The padding is perfect and the calf portion is not tight or restricting yet stays up.

My husband loves these! He made me buy several and threw out all his old socks! They wash incredibly well, they keep their cushiness even after several washes!!

My husband has always insisted on only buying all cotton socks. Never would let me select for him. He has very sensitive skin and wears his socks inside out to avoid the seams. While recovering from hip surgery he had to rely on me to find all cotton socks that would meet his needs. When he tried these socks on he thought they were cotton. Was especially impressed with the seams on the outside of socks. I must say he was quite surprised to find out they were bamboo. I was surprised he asked me to buy more.

The socks are very, very comfortable. They do not make any marks around my calves like most socks do. And that was a big thing I was looking for. Also, I could not feel any seams around my toes, although there is somewhat of a seam further back. I also liked that there was a wide toe area, as my feet are usually being squeezed by normal socks The only problem I had was that I didn't see very thick padding on the feet of them as I expected when they said the feet were padded. It didn't feel much different to me than regular socks. Otherwise they're a good product!

These socks are great. They are soft, don’t confine my feet and add a little cushion to my step. I have a wide Womens foot size 10-10.5 (EU 42) and I found the Women’s 10.5-12 too large and the 8.5-10 fit perfectly. The ribbed portions of the socks turned a little darker after a wash or two, but it doesn’t look bad or bother me. I’ve now bought several sets of them. I highly recommend these socks.

These socks are very comfortable with good padding. Now are they better then any extra padding sock on the market for this price? I personally do not think they are any better besides the material is alittle more durable. For the price I was hoping the padding would have lasted a little longer. After about an hour or two of wearing them they feel no different then any other brand of sock I have worn.

I don't write a lot of reviews, and most of the ones that I do write are complimentary, as I take no pleasure in slamming, or even nit-picking the products I purchase. THIS is the exception. I paid $26 for these socks, (three pair) and would have been disappointed had they cost only $2.60. In fact, the only thing that I even remotely like about them is the fabric, which is soft, and breathable. That said; they are extremely loose fitting, to the point of sloppiness, and they have little to no elasticity. The toe box looks as though it was stitched together by a five year old, with pointed little wings and excess thread on each side of the foot. And while labeled "Ortho", there is virtually no support whatsoever, and the so-called "cushioning" is laughable. Having washed them, (in the empty hope that they would improve) I've decided to use them as an extra layer over my Smartwool socks when it gets really cold outside, simply because they are so thin and loose fitting. I'd send them back, but it's snowing outside, and I'm too lazy to go to the UPS Store.

These are my favorite socks. They hug your foot, but aren't tight. The top is not binding, but they stay up. The bamboo fabric keeps your feet dry. The foot is nicely padded, which to me is the best feature. These are advertised as Diabetic socks, but they are great socks for everyone!
