These unique socks were developed in consultation with diabetic patients in order to provide maximum comfort. The combination of mohair, bamboo and merino wool fibres in Medisocks has also created a unique natural therapeutic aid for people suffering from poor circulation, Rynauds Syndrome and foot blisters
The Mohair fiber used in Medisocks is silkier than cotton due its smooth cuticle structure. This results in a smooth surface which significantly reduces the possibility of chafing and blisters.
Unlike many socks there is no elastic bite at the top of a Medisock. Instead, the natural elasticity of the mohair fiber provides graduated compressionover the foot and calf.
Due to the low profile flat seam across the toe area, no chafing is likely to occur.
The capillary nature of the mohair fiber enables it to absorb perspiration quickly, and then wick this moisture away from the foot, keeping the foot dry, comfortable and fresh.
Mohair fibers are very elastic and can stretch up to 30% of their normal length and then return to their original size. They fit snugly to the foot contour without feeling tight.
The combination of kid mohair and bamboo kun in Medisocks provides a natural defense against microbes, odor, or allergies.
Because Medisocks are made from natural fibers, they have the ability to keep the foot cool and comfortable in hot temperatures and warm and snug in cold conditions.
