These arrived promptly but I was rather disappointed as these are not gel socks. They are fabric socks with an inbuilt gel sole. The reason for ordering was that I need to cover the bottom, toe end, and upper part of my toes with cushioning. These gel socks only protect the underside of my toes hence not what I really ordered.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review with us.
As mentioned in our listing, Silipos Arthritic Diabetic Gel Socks have a thin gel layer that is attached to and runs along a base moulded insole. This gel cushioning runs under the toes, however the socks themselves are not made from gel. The cushioning is designed to relieve pressure on the bottom of the foot, which is common in diabetics.
We hope you find this information valuable.
Kind regards,

Strange but successful!

These socks do feel a bit strange on your feet but they certainly stop the pain that I experience with severe fat pad atrophy which I count as a success as not much else does! Not sure whether I would buy them again or just opt for gel insoles. Time will tell!
I have bought the 6mm and the 2 mm they are the best things I have bought for my feet. They really do help me stay on my feet without the burning pain being triggered too soon.
I was has with my socks, although a smaller size would have been perfect. I have an amputed right forefoot, with scaring on my sole, this sock offers me extra cushioning and comfort
Better fit and softer ankle grip than a similar product from another supplier. Admittedly my size 10 feet need a size 9 sock (!) but that is no problem. Very pleased with these socks.
Purchased due to current painful neuroma. They really do offer a very comfortable cushion of silicone. They could do to be available in more choices of sizes, ordered small which really are too big for a person who is a size 5. Could not wear them in shoes but they are great going shoeless in the house.
I've just worn the gel socks once. They are slightly large for my size 6 feet. Apart from slightly slipping inside my shoes they helped to relieve the pain in the soles of my feet.
