Evolution of the Sock

Socks have come a long way from their early wool and leather versions. What began as a simple covering has evolved into a key part of modern foot care.

Wool once dominated because of warmth, but it was heavy and itchy. With advances in textile technology, cotton became the preferred choice — soft, breathable, and perfect for daily wear. For people with sensitive skin or circulation issues, cotton’s comfort and moisture-control properties are unmatched.

At Diabetic Socks UK, we continue that evolution by blending traditional cotton comfort with modern, health-focused design. Our socks deliver breathability, softness, and protection for every step you take.
