Diabetic socks are not supposed to have cotton because it traps moisture. How does this product circumvent this?

I have never heard that about cotton. I always thought cotton was a comfortable, breathable fiber. I can't offer any scientific proof other than my husband prefers these socks to all his others. They are comfortable, don't dig into the skin, are easy to put on, and seem to wash and wear well. Also, my family doctor recommended white, cotton socks. He said they were the healthiest for the skin. I bought both white and black as sometimes white socks aren't right with dress clothes. I would buy them again.

I'm sorry but I have never worn wool socks nor gone skiing. This is my first time needing warmer socks. I am in my 60's and have just recently begun having cold feet. I notice that after I wear them in slippers or shoes for several hours, some perspiration seems to accumulate inside the socks and causes my feet to be less warm, although still way better than it would be with regular cotton socks.

No you don't. I wore socks and it's pretty accurate! Hope this helpshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JimJhsnPFEU&feature;=youtu.be

You might check Brightlifedirect - they have things to help put on compression socks/stockings (which they mainly sell), so maybe something like that would help. Arcoa actually makes something to help with socks, check out their site to see many products. They go under Arcmate now, it seems, particularly for such helpful gadgets.

Bruce - just hang your hunting clothes, including socks (not underwear) in the garage and spray them until damp (not soaked) with the permetherin let dry for couple hours. There is no scent and it repels for like 6 washings after application. Its good stuff!!

I would contact the manufacturer, it is a sock filled with some type of grain and a plastic rope handle. Can't wet it, and oven ? Maybe wrapped in tinfoil?

I used a spray that was ok for cotton, since I was spraying Converse, but YES. It is like getting extra mileage from the shoes. I do it for my kids' shoes, and the shoes last way longer than expected.

For best results, part way through the dry cycle, take out the socks and turn them inside out. I have also put them through a normal dry cycle with no problems as well.

this is very common in lanolin products. it won't work in as fast as a synthetic product. i apply it as the last thing at night and wear cotton gloves/socks. by morning, it's worked all the way in. good luck!

These socks can be worn with anything however, they are NOT diabetic socks like they are advertised. All the pairs of socks I bought are all falling apart because I had to use some scissors and make slices on the top of the socks because they were too tight on my upper ankles and they were hurting and cutting off my blood circulation. If you are going to buy these socks, buy them for regular socks but NOT for diabetic socks or you will be disappointed such as I was.

I wore Feetures fitted socks under them. I would think wool over them might hold water in, but I'm not sure.

We haven't had that problem. And, discovered that our Celtic Mineral Salt, that absorbs moisture, works great in this and does not get stuck.

You might have difficulty pulling the sock on to the chute if the sock is tight. The plastic is pretty stiff for this particular device. if you can slide it on you will not have any problem from there on. There is a similar one, without the clip straps made from a softer plastic I used while in rehab, which might work better. I found this one to work well without the use of the straps. The Velcro strip on the lower back of the chute held the sock on pretty well until the sock was all the way on.Tip: when you have pulled the sock onto the chute as far to the toe as possible, bunch the socks back down to the toe as much as possible your foot will slide into the toe much easier.

I put my toes through the hole and then don my regular socks. By having my toes peek out of the hole, I avoid compressing my toes...which is uncomfortable later in the day.

There is no label inside the socks that indicates the fabric. To me, it feels like a cotton-polyester blend knit. They stretch, and, in my experience, 100% cotton does not stretch.

I don't, but then I wash my socks with cool water and only dry them a little bit in the dryer. They last longer that way and don't shrink.

I don't think so. It is a very tight weave that prevents moisture from getting through.
