• 1 x Single Sock

Who Can Benefit from the Partial Foot Socks?

The Partial Foot Socks are specifically designed for those having had a transmetatarsal amputation. The socks are designed to provide protection and comfort to this area. It is a completely smooth sock lined with gel at the end. This gel is designed to moisturise and cushion the skin and therefore helps to protect this sensitive area of your foot.

The socks can be used with either orthotics or shoes that have fillers. It stops the area from becoming aggravated and helps to prevent skin breakdown at the site of the amputation. The design of the sock focuses on comfort and protection to ensure this area is looked after once the amputation has occurred.

Features of the Partial Foot Socks

The foot socks are made from CoolMax material. This ensures the sock is comfortable and has plenty of breathability so the foot does not get too hot when wearing it. The design of the sock is elastic, meaning the sock fits snugly around the ankle and rest of the foot.

The socks are completely smooth on the inside. This ensures there is no area that can be aggravated or inflamed by a rough surface but that it only provides comfort and support.

The gel at the end of the socks is designed to cover the amputation site. It is made from a medical grade mineral oil that helps to soften and protect the skin. It moisturises the skin and in this instant, helps to prevent skin breakdown.

The socks are latex free and hypoallergenic to ensure a maximum number of people can receive the benefits from the sock.

The socks come in two different sizes - regular and extra long - so you can find the right size to best suit your needs.

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:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. 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:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. 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.
