Gentle GripMens Six Pairs Socks

These socks are perfect for me, always buy gentle grip because of the no cuff tops. They do not have tight elastic that cut into me. I get swollen legs, ankle and feet and have two legs braces. These were excellent value and wash really well. They are not too hot and give me the comfort I need. I would buy these again and would recommend to anyone who wants comfortable socks. I am a ladies size 7 and these are a very good fit with room for swelling and I bought the size 4-7 packs and believe they would even fit a ladies size 8 uk. These are perfect for summer but would probably want thicker socks for winter.

While these socks are made to a high quality, the two darkest colour pairs have ribs in the toes, meaning they are totally unsuitable for diabetics. The honeycomb tops however, are excellent. If ribs are not a problem, these socks are great. If you are diabetic, buy the black ones instead - I've had two lots of these and they were perfect.EDIT - This review has appeared for all this type of sock I ordered - the 2 star review is for the beige set only - the black ones have been perfect.

My favourite socks I have ever bought in my life! I was recently diagnosed a type II diabetic and wanted to get some socks that did not dig in to my legs. These are so incredibly comfortable, so soft they are unbelievable. They stay up really well, I was expecting them to slip down but they don't and I really like the different shades of beige, brown and cream. I have found these to be very versatile. I will be back for more of these for sure. I have bought other "diabetic" socks and have found that they are too tight and not as comfortable as these, these feel like you are not even wearing socks!

Update: Ended up throwing ALL of these socks away. It has become clear that a lot of them have a band inside the honeycomb top and leave indentation marks on my legs, making them a waste of money as I buy gentle grip for the easy fit top.I have to question the genuine brand of these socks. I have been wearing 'gentle grip' brand for some years and these are not the same quality and were loose in the bag, not attached to the 'gentle grip' cardboard packaging. While the socks feel soft they are extremely thin material and far too long for my size 7 feet. There is not as much stretch in the honeycomb top as my other gentle grip socks and the toe seams inside had lengths of thread left over that I had to trim off. The colours I received were pinks but not as in the picture. Won't buy these ones again, every penny spent on these was a waste of money, will look elsewhere for gentle grip socks in future.

My 97 year old neighbour slipped in the bath and injured both her legs which resulted in them swelling up badly and causing her a lot of pain.She got a pair of loose fit socks at a large department store for £6-99 but was not very happy with them and being a pensioner could not afford more expensive replacements.She asked me to help and i found this company and these socks seemed to be exactly what she needed for her condition.She is delighted with them,they are comfortable on her feet,not tight on her ankles and `just right` on her leg.She is so pleased that i have been told to order the same item for her `big sister`...98 years old.So,three very happy customers.Very happy to recommend the company and the product.

T&A Traders. These are not genuine gentle grip diabetic socks with seamless toes . The have the correct label but have seams and log on the sole and are more like the standard gentle grip socks with very pronounced toe seams.Have purchased the genuine gentle grip diabetic socks many times and they are indeed seamless.Not sure what these are that I received !I would like to post a photo but it won't let me

I have bought these socks before, they come in packs of three with a jiffy tag through all three pairs and a card band around the pack. My order of six pairs arrived loose with no jiffy tag and the bands (creased and bent) loose in the bag hidden between the socks. One sock had a hole in it in the toe seam.There was definitely something strange with this delivery. I cannot say that the socks looked to have been worn but someone had clearly unwrapped them and probably returned them.The supplier must have known that they were not in the original retail pack but sent them anyway.The socks themselves have nice soft tops and represent good value for money but if the supplier treats his customers like this, I will shop elsewhere next time. I did think of returning them but for the price it's not worth the hassle.

I bought these socks for comfort not because I'm a diabetic. I do be on my feet all day long and then all evening long running round after my little ones. I had found in the past month or 2 that the tops of my toes were quite sore & red due to the seams in my regular socks rubbing & my chiropodist advised me to purchase socks with a very fine seam or to wear my regular socks inside out. I purchased these socks thinking they would solve my problem but unfortunately the toe seam is even larger than some of my regular socks, I can't wear them, I could even feel the seam when I turned them inside out.If you are buying the socks for the honey comb top, yes they are comfortable but don't waste your money if it's fine toe seams you are looking for.
