Diabetic Socks and Performance Running Socks Socks are somewhat of an
afterthought when buying running shoes and they can completely alter the fit and
feel of your shoes for the better.
Why you should avoid 100% cotton socksMany people like to buy socks made from
cotton as it is thought to be breathable; however cotton is almost never used in
performance running socks. The principal reason behind this is because cotton
keeps the sweat and moisture close to your feet, so the longer you are in your
shoes the softer the skin will become. The natural movement inside your shoes
can cause blisters easier against the moist skin of your foot. Performance
running socks and Diabetic socks are made from a blend of synthetic materials
such moncler men

the outside of the shoe to help it evaporate quickly. In fact the top layers of
these socks are commonly thinner to help the sweat evaporate faster with some

their socks. these features can also be found in the lining of higher end
running shoes like the Asics Kayano.

arches.

socks leave many gaps and loose spaces where the material can bunch up and cause
wrinkles inside your shoes and increase the likelihood of getting blisters.
Extra CushioningA good pair of performance socks will have some added

socks will help prevent blistering and shear by filling out the shoes the same
way sports inserts do. walking socks will have an extra pad on top of the foot
to account for the different foot motion compared to running. If desired
additional cushioning can be added by way of the appropriate shoe inserts.
Why Diabetics need Special SocksDiabetics need to be acutely aware of their
feet for a number of reasons. Nerve damage is one of the results of having high
blood sugar levels and this can cause anything from pins and needles in your
feet to sharp pains. The nerve damage and loss of sensation mean that many
