Not sure which to choose? Go by your everyday shoe size; there is nothing to measure. If you are between sizes, size up: a sock that is a touch long is comfortable, one that is a touch short pulls at the toe all day.

The top: knit to hold gently without a tight elastic band, so it stays up without digging in and leaves no mark around the leg.

Getting them on: turn the sock inside out down to the heel, slip your foot in, then roll the leg up. Ten seconds, no tugging.

Fabric & Care

Knit on knitting machines in Alabama, with a non-binding top that stays up without leaving a mark and a smooth toe seam with no ridge to rub.

Machine wash warm and tumble dry low. No bleach and no fabric softener — softener coats the fibres and flattens the stretch that keeps the top non-binding.

The softest and warmest sock we make

A plush knit with extra cushioning and the widest, stretchiest top we make, so it goes over a swollen ankle or a wide calf without a fight.

A TOP THAT STRETCHES

Room for a wide calf or a swollen ankle

The upper-calf top is knit wide and given real stretch, so it opens up over a swollen foot and ankle and then sits on the calf without gripping. If ordinary socks leave a ring or will not go past the ankle at all, this is the one to try. Sold in two-pair packs.

EASY ON, EASY OFF

No wrestling match at 7 a.m.

The wide opening and the give in the knit mean you are not fighting the sock onto your foot. Roll it down to the heel, slip your foot in, unroll it up the leg. Ten seconds, sitting down, no help needed.

WARMTH

For feet that are always cold

The plush acrylic holds warmth through the foot and up the calf, which is the point of it for cold feet in the evening and cold feet in bed. Still light enough to wear inside a shoe or a slipper.

PLUSH AND CUSHIONED

Soft enough for sensitive skin

A deep, plush knit with extra cushioning underfoot and a smooth, flat toe seam that leaves no ridge to rub. Nothing scratchy, nothing bulky across the toes. Knit on knitting machines in Alabama, with a 1-year replacement guarantee on every pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your question isn't here, give us a call.

What makes these different from your cotton socks?

They are softer and warmer. A plush acrylic knit with extra cushioning instead of cotton, and a wider upper-calf top with far more stretch, so it goes over a swollen foot and ankle and sits on a wide calf without gripping.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and they will keep their shape.

How do the sizes run?

Three sizes, all based on your everyday shoe size. Medium fits shoe sizes 6–8, Large fits 9–12, X-Large fits 12–14. Between sizes, go up.

Will they fit a wide calf or a swollen ankle?

That is what the top is built for. It is knit wide with real stretch, so it opens over a swollen foot and ankle and then holds gently on the calf. If you are unsure, go up a size, and call us on (800) 214-0218 if it is still not right.

What is the 1-year replacement guarantee?

If a pair gets a hole or wears out within a year of buying it, send it back and we'll replace it free.

Customers praised these diabetic socks as "very soft" and "comfortable" with a non-binding fit. Many highlighted the plush warmth and ease of putting on. However, some reported inconsistencies: the top band left marks or was too tight for swollen calves, socks were shorter than expected, and a few experienced insufficient compression or sizing issues.

My Adult Autistic son loves them!

My adult Autistic son loves them! We were trying to find these USA diabetic socks everywhere here to no avail. We used to get them in Goodwill stores. But these are great and an answer to our prayers. We will keep buying them 🇺🇲.

Absolutely the best!

I have been using the Ultra Soft socks from DSC for a little over a year. I have given all my other socks away and I am in the process of putting DSC ultra soft in as the only ones I wear. I’m well on my way to totally replacing my supply. I have never worn a more comfortable pair of socks in cold or warm weather conditions.

I am very happy with the compression socks. They are well made and comfortable. I have never had diabetic socks before so I can’t say I am happy with them. They seem to be very good quality but I don’t know that I will be wearing them. I wore one pair one day and my legs swelled.

Soft, nonbinding socks

These socks are very soft, and they are non-binding as described. I find them very comfortable, and they do not cause any tightness or restriction of blood flow to my feet (my primary reason for choosing them). Good for light use and day-to-day, but not a sock for heavier wear (e.g., boots). Very satisfied with this purchase.

Not right for me!

I love how soft and comfortable they are at first, but won't continue to wear them nor will I order more. The tops are too tight on my calves and cut off circulation after about an hour. To bad that part isn't larger or more elastic because I really like the feel of the rest of the socks.
