Diabetic 12% Silver Socks
Upon hearing that a pair of socks can have silver in them, you might think that would make them extortionate pricing and wonder what benefit it could have. You'd be surprised. If you suffer from extreme temperatures in your feet – whether that be too warm or too cold – or suffer from foot odours, a silver thread sock can be of great benefit to you. And it's all at an affordable price as well.
The Diabetic 12% Silver Socks are an ideal way of helping to control the temperature in your feet. The silver thread helps reflect the natural body temperature and will help to increase the temperature in your feet. This makes them ideal for those who suffer from poor circulation or raynaud's disease.
Who Can Benefit from the Diabetic 12% Silver Thread Socks?
The socks are designed to aid those who suffer from cold feet, for whatever reason. There are a number of factors that influence the temperature of our feet, from health conditions to bad circulation. Silver Thread is renowned for providing warmth and the low compression features of the socks means they can be worn everyday.
Diabetic 12% Silver Thread Socks are designed especially for people that are suffering with diabetes as they help to keep feet warm. The silver thread also adds extra antimicrobial properties to the socks, reducing the risk of infection – a necessity if you are a diabetes sufferer.
Features of the Diabetic 12% Silver Thread Socks
The socks have integrated far-infrared reflectivity (FIR) and inner energy to help keep your feet warm. This is due to the way it reflects the natural body temperature, ensuring that you retain natural warmth.
The socks are fitted with a slight stretch to help maximise the comfort and to ensure they are well fitted to the body. The low compression nature of the socks means they are suitable to be worn every day and will not leave any impressions on the leg.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit
Using Your Shoe Size
For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.
Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.
Measuring Your Current Insoles
While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results
Where Can I Find the Dimensions?
The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.
The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab
What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?
If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.
Trimming Your Insoles to Fit
To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- Your insoles should now fit your shoes better
Carefully trace the outline of your insole
Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
