Running Socks

Diabetic socks have many great features to them, but so often people mistakenly think that these socks only come in full-length knee-high styles. While these are the most popular type of socks for diabetics, they’re certainly not the only style available.

Quarter socks are also available for diabetics, which still have all of the features of the non-binding socks typically seen in socks for diabetics, but even more so! Quarter socks for diabetics only reach just above the ankle, and so they are especially ideal for people who are bothered by even the slightest elastic or binding feel of socks that sometimes come with crew socks. Diabetics who suffer from severe neuropathy often find this slight binding feeling to be too much to bear.

Quarter socks for diabetics are also called diabetic tennis socks because the two look so similar. However, the two are very different. Quarter socks for diabetics still come with all the features that you’d find in socks for diabetics, such as the extra padding that protects sensitive feet from blisters, and a non-abrasive seam to keep feet from becoming irritated and developing sores so common in the feet of diabetics.

At Amazing Socks we have everything for a diabetic’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a full-length sock to come up right over your calf, or you need a quarter sock that won’t be quite as uncomfortable, we have many different styles to keep you and your feet happy and healthy!
