MediPeds Women's Quarter Cushioned Non-Binding Blister-Resistant Socks (4-Pack)

These special sports socks are truly amazing. I’m not diabetic but I do suffer from swollen ankles due to being a full time wheelchair user. I wanted these socks for going swimming and to the gym - mainly for looks if I’m being honest. These provide a stretchy and loose fitting around the ankle which is vital for me so I don’t get purple rings that I would from an ordinary size. ***WARNING: Do not use in a dryer!!! *** It’s not stated on the description but be aware this item VERY is prone to shrinkage and can’t be stretched back to size. You simply end up with baby sized socks! From now on I’ll simply hang them up to dry after they’ve been through the washing machine. They are comfortable, practical and of a very high quality. So good in fact I’ve ordered more. They are thin cotton material with a towelling layer on the sole. I really couldn’t recommend these more highly and have no hesitation in awarding 5 stars both for quality and value. **************Information for UK Buyers: *************** These “trainer socks for diabetics” weren’t available anywhere in the UK so I used Amazon America. These socks are equivalent to a 4-8 UK size. I have Women’s size 6 feet and my feet are quite wide. I wore these socks with size 7 trainers. I tend to wear a size or 2 larger, very loose fitting shoes in a size 8 and apart from the trainers all my shoes are “diabetic or orthopaedic loose fitting”. Luckily Amazon allows you to purchase in pounds Sterling so you avoid the bank currency conversion surcharge. Very useful. The total including standard shipping was £12.86 (Purchased November 2018). This includes taxes so no import duty applies on receipt of parcel. However for ease, I’d highly recommend choosing the “international option” when choosing a different country from the drop down menu. It will default to the American site showing only items that can be shipped to the UK and shows all prices in USD so remember to change this in the options to GBP. You will get the final price and total landed cost in GBP whichever option just before the final point of sale if you opt to pay in GBP. Having Amazon Prime in the UK means you can only get the benefits of Prime delivery in your home country (so no next day or 1 hour delivery of course) but don’t let this put you off using Amazon from international countries. I’ve used Amazon America several times (as well as Amazon France) over the past few years with absolutely no issues. Have also had no issues with returns with either country. The general layout of Amazon America is very similar to the UK site so do remember to change the country back to the UK after you’ve completed your transaction. The most obvious way of confirming you are still on the US site is the word “Basket” on the top right of the screen has been replaced with “Cart” and obviously the prices all have a dollar sign. This item took approximately 10 days to arrive using Amazon standard shipping and arrived in a well sealed Jiffy bag. Unlike the UK, the international sites tend to have a packing slip which is useful. Delivered to door via Hermes courier.

These are the best socks if your feet swell, or you have diabetes. I don't get an indent on my ankles with these socks. They feel like a hug for your feet!

I wear 91/2 wides in women's shoes, but wear size 8WW in men's Skechers, and these fit well, without pulling my toes back like so many other socks. They're softly thick, so they keep the sides of my big and little toe from rubbing and causing shred or calusses. They look good wearing my tennis shoes and shorts. Glad to find these and price was decent, too. They wash and dry well without shrinking. The tops are gently loose, but stay up without gapping. These were white, but I've also bought a couple of packs of black to wear under my jeans and jeggings type slacks.

Decent socks, non-binding, don't droop, not as thick and cushy as they used to be, will probably buy again

I was so happy to see these available here because I used to buy similar Meid Peds at Walmart but they have been gone from there for years. I have bought the plain white ones here and they are not the high-quality socks I expected, do not wash well, and generally are not as comfortable to wear. enough so that I thought they might actually be knockoffs but this was a good while back. I have thrown all of them out when I got these because I was planning to buy more of them but now they are out of stock. I sincerely hope you get them back soon as I would like to buy 2 more packs. That is why I am here today, in fact. I will keep checking back, I am on Amazon a lot. I have tried other brands and while some are very nice, I like my Medi Peds fit and comfort more than the others. Also, even though the other brands I have tried claim to be diabetic socks they are not as stretchy as my Peds and leave a ring on my legs. the Peds do not.

I have bought 4 packs of the Medipeds regular socks over the last few years and was disappointed with all 4 packs from Amazon. If you know what I'm talking about you know the ones Amazon has are different than the ones the stores sell. The blue writing on the toe changed to a brown color and the sizing was terrible. I bought a pack of these Nanoglide's for my mom. She doesn't have diabetes but was looking for a roomy, soft sock that wouldn't cut into her legs. She loved the ones I bought her (women's sizing, different item than this one). I ordered these for myself. I was so happy when I put them on. I also don't have diabetes. I don't even have a problem with socks cutting into my legs. I just like a sock that doesn't squeeze my toes together. These Medipeds Nanoglides are a huge improvement over the previous Medipeds. They are roomy with very soft soles. The only problem I could see from them is they might be a little warm in the summer but it's a fair trade-off to have comfortable socks for an affordable price! For reference, I wear between an 11 and 12 in men's shoes and these socks are plenty big enough for me.

I’m really fond of these socks! They provide exceptional softness and warmth, which is just what I need. With lupus causing my ankles to swell regularly, I’ve become frustrated with socks that constrict my legs. They are somewhat thicker, but if that’s your preference, you’ll appreciate these. The fit is perfect—not too snug and not too baggy. The quality is certainly high, and I would gladly purchase them again.

No lining at the toes so they are comfortable but also give you support in the ankles. These are the only diabetic socks I get because they are worth it they are breathable, warm, stretch, just worth it .

These are great! They are really comfy and because I had thick ankles (I refuse to call them cankels) they are loose at the top but do not slip down. Perfect

Extremely comfortable

very nice, comfortable, lightweight socks. love the seamless toes and no restriction on ankle. would love more in different colors.

Good price and quality I would recommend these socks

Great not to have swollen ankles any more.So soft and comfortable.
