Medi Peds Socks Not Just For Diabetics By Mom2One on Sep 01, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I have a problem with my feet, in that they sweat a lot. My feet feel like they are burning up when I go for a walk. I have tried many types of socks in the past to try to find one that helps cool off my feet.

Someone suggested that I try the MediPeds brand of socks.

I never heard of them. I found out they are advertised as a sock for Diabetics. I don't have diabetes but after reading that help to keep the feet cool I figured I would give them a try.

Diabetic or not, I love these socks! They are the most comfortable socks I have ever put on my feet. They are so soft and non binding. They have an extra wide funnel top so it doesn't bind at the ankles. I also suffer from swollen ankles from time to time so this is an added bonus to me. I do not have those sock marks across my ankles when I take my MediPeds off.

But the real reason I first brought these socks was to help with my hot feet, so how does it help you might ask? These socks are the best. Yes, my feet do not sweat so much and they stay cool. That is not to say sometimes they get a little on the warm side, but not that fire hot they used to get.

These socks are made out of 43% cotton, 29% coolmax, 26% polyester, 1% nylon and 1% lycra.

I have never seen these socks in the regular sock area in stores. These are usually found in or near the pharmacy department, especially near the diabetic supplies.

If you have hot feet or swollen ankles I definitely recommend these socks.
