What is a Diabetic sock?

And why are they important?

Diabetic socks are not just softer or more comfortable versions of regular socks. For people living with diabetes, foot protection is critical. Conditions such as peripheral neuropathy can reduce sensation, meaning friction, rubbing or pressure may go unnoticed. Circulatory changes and delayed wound healing further increase risk, allowing small problems to escalate quickly.

Properly designed diabetic socks are created to reduce unnecessary pressure and constriction, minimise friction and seam irritation, support healthy circulation, and help manage moisture levels to reduce skin breakdown. For many Australians living with diabetes, wearing purpose-built diabetic socks is a practical preventative measure that supports daily foot health.

What Makes Diafeetez Diabetic Socks Different?

Traditional socks often have tight top bands that can leave deep indentation marks and contribute to circulation restriction. Diafeetez diabetic socks are designed to stay in place without excessive constriction, helping to reduce pressure around the lower leg while maintaining comfort throughout the day.

Seams are another overlooked risk factor. Raised or bulky seams can create friction points that are particularly dangerous for individuals with neuropathy. Our seam-minimised construction reduces irritation in high-risk areas and lowers the likelihood of rubbing-related skin damage.

We also incorporate targeted cushioning in key pressure zones such as the heel and forefoot. This strategic padding helps absorb pressure without creating unnecessary bulk that could increase shoe tightness. In addition, our breathable, moisture-management fabrics are chosen to promote airflow and reduce prolonged dampness, a known contributor to skin maceration and infection risk.

Importantly, protective does not mean clinical-looking. Diafeetez diabetic socks are designed for everyday wear across work, home and social settings, offering medical-grade consideration without compromising on appearance.

Designed by Podiatrists. Built from Clinical Experience.

What sets Diafeetez apart from many “diabetic-friendly” socks on the market is that our designs are grounded in clinical practice. As podiatrists working with high-risk feet, we regularly manage diabetic neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, ulcer prevention, and pressure redistribution strategies. Our understanding of where complications occur and why, directly informs every design decision we make.

We do not design from theory or trend. Every feature in a Diafeetez sock exists for a clinical reason, with the goal of reducing avoidable risk.

Diafeetez Founders

Diafeetez is the brain child of two Sydney Podiatrists. We saw many patients unable to find a product that fit them well or was comfortable, and we struggled to find a product that we deemed good enough to recommend.

Complains of tightness at the calf and foot, discomfort from seams, and calf tubing sliding down the leg and not staying up all day were often heard. Patients were very resourceful with their modifications, by cutting holes at the site of their Bunions, ends of their toes, or cutting the elastic loose at the top of the sock. Why do manufactures put the comfort of their products in the hands of their consumers?

This lead us to develop our Diabetic sock brand - Diafeetez. Don't be fooled by the fancy inclusions, our products can be worn by anyone who is interested in having a fantastically fitted, comfortable sock.

To support our brand today means your supporting a more inclusive tomorrow for all of our funky and fabulous feet
