How are the Walking and Diabetic socks different?Updated 5 days ago

Walking and Diabetic both have:

  • Cushion on the ball of the foot and heel
  • Flat knit instep (top of the foot)
  • A low-profile toe seam to protect against rubbing and irritation

What are the differences between the Walking and Diabetic socks? 

  • Walking has spandex in the arch for support and lightweight cushion on the instep (top of the foot) to protect against shoelace pressure
  • Diabetic has light cushion in the arch and flat knit on the instep (top of the foot) for a better fit
  • Diabetic has a relaxed fit top to allow for swelling or larger leg
