Toe-Free Diabetic Compression Socks

Pulling on tight compression-style socks can be a struggle. These have a zip up the side, so you can open them wide, step in and zip them closed for a snug fit without the tugging.

The toe area is open. Your toes stay free, there's less fabric around them, and it's easy to look at your toes and skin without taking the socks off. The stretchy, breathable fabric gives a close, supportive feel and is designed to apply different levels of pressure from the foot up to the calf.

These are comfort socks, not prescription compression hosiery. Compression isn't right for everyone, so if you have diabetes, a circulation problem or any condition affecting your legs or feet, please check with your GP, practice nurse or podiatrist before wearing them.

• Side zip for easier on and off
• Toe-free design for space and easy skin checks
• Close-fitting, graduated design from foot to calf
• Elastic, breathable nylon and polyester blend
• Black or Beige, in sizes S-M, L-XL and XXL

Care

Machine wash at 30°C, no bleach, no dry cleaning, iron at medium heat

1. 1
   Sit down somewhere comfortable and fully open the side zip.
2. 2
   Slide your foot in so your toes come through the opening and your heel sits snugly in place.
3. 3
   Smooth the fabric up your leg so there are no wrinkles or folds.
4. 4
   Close the zip slowly, holding the fabric away from your skin so it doesn't catch.
5. 5
   Check the top isn't rolled or folded over and the sock feels snug but comfortable.

Choose your size by measuring around your ankle and calf, not by your shoe size. A sock that's too small can feel uncomfortably tight, and one that's too big won't give a close fit.

• Measure first thing in the morning, before your legs have had a chance to swell.
• Ankle: measure around the narrowest part, just above the ankle bone.
• Calf: measure around the widest part of your calf.
• Sizes available: S-M, L-XL and XXL (see the chart below).

Not sure which size to choose? Email us your ankle and calf measurements before ordering and we'll help. If a health professional has told you what level of compression you need, check with them that these socks are suitable.

• Close the zip before washing.
• Machine wash at 30°C.
• Do not bleach and do not dry clean.
• Iron at medium heat only if needed, keeping the iron away from the zip.
• Dry flat, away from direct heat, to help the fabric keep its stretch.

These are compression-style comfort socks, not a medical device or a treatment for any condition. Compression can be unsuitable for some people, so please read this before wearing them.

• If you have diabetes, speak to your GP, diabetes nurse or podiatrist before wearing any compression garment, especially if you have reduced feeling in your feet, foot ulcers, wounds or circulation problems.
• Don't wear them if you have peripheral arterial disease or poor blood flow to your legs unless a health professional has said they're suitable.
• Check with your GP first if you have heart failure, a recent or suspected blood clot, leg ulcers, fragile skin or a skin condition on your legs.
• If you're pregnant, ask your midwife or GP before using compression socks.
• Take them off straight away if you notice pain, numbness, tingling, or toes that turn pale, blue or cold.
• Check your feet and legs every day, including under the zip and around the heel, for redness, marks, blisters or broken skin.
• Don't roll or fold the top down, as this can create a tight band.
• Take them off at night unless a health professional has advised otherwise.
• New, painful or one-sided leg swelling needs medical advice. Contact your GP or NHS 111.
