You might also consider diabetic socks to pair up with your diabetic footwear. These socks are designed to reduce your risk of a foot injury, keep your feet dry and alleviate poor circulation in your feet. They use materials that wick away moisture, have extra padding, fit your foot shape and size well and they are nonbinding. Socks for diabetics do not contain seams or elastic so that they do not restrict blood flow or cause friction. You may benefit from diabetic socks for the following reasons:
• You have pre-existing foot problems related to diabetes, such as a history of foot infections or neuropathy
• You are pregnant and have gestational diabetes since these socks can reduce blood clots associated with foot swelling
• Your feet tend to sweat a lot because they keep your feet dry to reduce your risk of a fungal infection
• You are planning to travel which will require prolonged sitting that can lead to more foot swelling than usual
