Diabetic and arthritic gel socks that can sooth and comfort like no other
Diabetic and arthritic gel therapeutic socks help to prevent dry cracked skin commonly associated with diabetes and arthritis without the use of messy creams and lotions.
They comfortably conform to the shape of your feet while gradually releasing medical grade mineral oil that moisturizes and lubricates the skin and soften your heels and foot pads.
One of the better brands are Arthritic/Diabetic Gel Socks, produced by Silipos®. They are uniquely designed with mineral oil gel insoles that acts as a soft tissue supplement which provides extra cushioning for diabetics and arthritics with nerve damage or acutely sensitive feet.
This gel (The gel is hypoallergenic and contains no additives, fragrances, or latex.) insole also helps to minimize friction that can cause a blister, calluse and foot ulcers.
Similar in design to diabetic socks, arthritic and diabetic gel socks have a low-compression non-restrictive cuff that keeps them from falling down but not enough to restrict circulation.
They are made of cotton/nylon/Lycra and in concert with the gel they provide sheer comfort.
Gel Therapy Socks are especially effective in comforting a condition called “Fat Pad Atrophy” which results from a thinning or decreased size of the fat pads (The bottom of your heel and the bottom of your foot just below the toes).
These areas of your feet serve as a natural cushion for the foot. As they become thin they are more sensitive to pressure discomfort or pain when walking, especially barefoot.)
