At a Glance

Sockwell's Plantar Ease combines 15–20 mmHg graduated compression with a merino wool blend that is uniquely appropriate for neuropathic patients — merino is naturally temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, antimicrobial, and dramatically softer against hypersensitive skin than synthetic materials. The plantar support band targets the arch and reduces strain on the plantar fascia — common comorbidity with diabetic neuropathy. Seamless toe construction eliminates pressure points that can cause sores in insensate feet.
