There are many different types of socks that can be worn by chemo patients, depending on the style of shoe and the level of comfort desired. Some socks are designed to be worn with loafers or slip-ons, while others have a more athletic look that can be paired with sneakers.
No matter what the style, all socks for chemo patients should be soft, comfortable, and non-binding.
Some chemo patients may prefer to wear compression socks, which can help to improve circulation and reduce swelling. Others may prefer socks with anti-microbial properties, which can help to prevent infection.
And still others may prefer socks that are specifically designed to wick away moisture, which can help to keep feet dry and comfortable.
No matter what type of sock you choose, be sure to wash them frequently and inspect them for any signs of wear or tear. If you have any questions about what type of sock would be best for you, be sure to ask your doctor or nurse.
MediPEDS focuses on keeping feet healthy. Our socks are engineered to address diabetes-related symptoms, leg fatigue, swelling, and dry skin. They are constructed with yarns and comfort features that help reduce foot irritation and pressure on the legs.
As a national strategic partner of the American diabetes association, MediPEDS is committed to helping people who suffer from this disease.
The quality of Medi-peds has gone down significantly. I bought four packs and three are going back after having tried on a pair. They are thin, uncomfortable by the toe and scratchy at the ankle. They’re much smaller and thinner than the originals and they will definitely shrink in the wash.
I’m very disappointed. I wish I could get my money back for the pair that I opened.

Finally found the perfect “no show” sock. (These are the true “no show” socks unlike UA’s other versions that are misleading and only low cut). These are perfect for my Vans and Nike skate shoes. The sock is hidden well, and sits below the shoe line on your low-cut sneaker/skate shoes.
They’re super comfortable and soft. I found with multiple other brands that the elastic cuts into the top of my foot and leaves it red and sore, but these UA socks don’t do that. They disperse any pressure across the whole top of my foot and provide all day comfort.
Even the rear grip holds the back of my ankle perfectly, they don’t slip down or come off my heel at all. If you’re a size 9/10 US Mens – go for the Large size (perfect fit).
Oh my gosh if you want quality and thickness get these socks. I’m no under armour fan it’s always Nike or Adidas but UA have changed the game. Now I see why Steph Curry allowed them to sponsor him. This is gooooooooood quality.
I totally underestimated UA, but never again. I’m glad I started with their ankle socks which by the way DO NOT move when you wear footwear with them. How refreshing. They are thick and keep my feet so warm especially as it’s January winter time.
The only downside to these socks is that after washing them even in a quick wash there is a considerable amount of piling everywhere on the socks. UA y0u need to sort that out, it makes you wonder what kind of low level materials do they have mixed in as it doesn’t look pretty.
Very happy with these socks. Gives the perfect amount of cushioning for the feet and true to size. Doesn’t overcrowd the shoes. The ankle height is also perfect. I also find that I don’t get smelly shoes after wearing them.
The 3 pack also helps without having to purchase multiple packs. Great product overall. Definitely recommend.
Nurse Mates brand beautiful, graduated compression trouser socks in a variety of colors and fashion textures. 12 – 14 mmHg Comfortable toe pocket, heel pocket and comfort welt top band.

I’m a Registered Respiratory Therapist who works anywhere from thirteen, to fifteen-hour shifts. I bought these socks, and I will DEFINITELY be buying more! My feet, ankles, and legs have much less swelling after my long night-shifts at work.
They’re durable, and also very pretty. While wearing these socks, my lower extremities are noticeably less tired after working fifty/sixty hours each week. Thank you for a GREAT product!.
I use both the tie dyed and plain socks in wide calf. They fit great, provide excellent support, and are super comfortable. Things to keep in mind when shopping these socks: the tie dyed socks are a different material than the plain knit (may feel thinner than you expect, but it’s just different material and still great), the socks with patterns sometimes leave indentations (so keep in mind if you get spots or character knitted in them), and finally, I sometimes where a little ankle/no show sock with them in my sneakers so to help the soles from wearIng out.

Personally;they fit a lot more snug as compared to the light blue;white and pink pairs I have purchased. These socks by Newzill are the ticket. I would tell anyone/everyone about these socks. I recommend these over medical support /compression hosiery;for everyday wear.

Socks are great, my husband loves them. My purchase experience with the Orthotic Shop, not so much. I ordered three 3-packs of socks, and paid for them. Three of 3-packs equals nine pairs of socks. I received 1 3-pack of socks.
The 800 number, which I have called twice, says no one is available to take your call, and I have received no communication back. We have disputed the charge with our credit card company, and that is where we are.
Still, the socks are great. Wish we had the additional 6 pair we paid for.
These are one of the BEST socks I have ever had. And are made from mostly COTTON, which is difficult to find these days! Now I do not have heavy nor wide calves, so if you do I cannot say if they will stretch enough or not be restricting.
I do have 14-Wide feet, and the Extra-Large fits very nicely. I searched a long time to find socks that weren’t too tight on top on my fairly average size calves not to mention were still made of mostly COTTON!!! Like their name says, they do stay up too.

I bought my first pair of Danish Endurance compression socks in 2017 to help with varicose veins. Even after having the veins removed they are still my favourite socks by a long way, stopping any ankle swelling.
I even cut the foot off one to use as an improvised knee support on a long walking holiday that kept me going for 50 miles.
The compression socks are excellent. Comfortable cotton blend, and putting an end to my restless legs. They was up well, although I will not put them in the tumble dryer. I have already recommended to others.
I found the men’s organic cotton compression socks to be comfortable and highly supportive, offering the right amount of compression. I also liked the colors; I chose red, blue, and grey/orange. Excellent socks overall.
The Sport Lightweight Hidden is the perfect sock for everyday use without the look of wearing socks. The Hidden features a silicone grip in the inside of the sock at the back of the heel to prevent the sock from slipping.
The lightweight ultra-thin construction wicks away moisture and prevents blisters in any shoe.
The name given for these socks is perfect. I was looking for some lightweight socks that wouldn’t show when wearing my sneakers during the summer. And, most importantly, a sock that wouldn’t slip off.
I purchased 2 black pairs and 1 white pair of the Original Weight Mini-Crew. I rotate between the pairs, and they probably have about 100 miles on them each. I’ve always just machine-washed and dried on low heat (or hung to dry).
The socks are holding up well (no holes, thin spots, or other visible wear and tear). They don’t prevent my feet from sweating, but they do dry out fairly quickly (vs. wool) once shoes are off. I do find them a bit cold in trail runners if I’m not actively moving.
Best thing is that they prevent toe blisters on longer hikes! My only advice is maybe avoid white due to dirt.
These socks have a non slip band across the top of the foot . It’s too tight for me. My feet need to be in unconstrained . Probably works for other people who don’t have this issue.

I have skinny legs, and even though I ordered the L/XL size, I couldn’t even fit these socks over my calves! The sizing was ridiculously small. Donated them to Goodwill. hopefully there’s a 5 year old kid out there somewhere who wants some compression socks, because these sure aren’t going to fit an adult.
I thought these were just ok. I ve purchased better compression socks. Usually you can feel the socks working immediately upon wearing them. In this case, they felt like regular socks. I would not order these again.
I ordered the small because I wear a size 6. 5 in women s shoes. But the socks were too big for my feet.

Liked at these forever before buying but I was a little disappointed, the fit was very tight. I almost couldn’t get them on. The material they are made of is very slick is very slippery so shows slip off your feet and you easily slip and slip on floors.
The graphics are really nice but they stretch quite a bit if your calves are very thick.
These socks appeared to be really well made when I bought them. I work 12 hour shifts in hospital in the ICU and I’m on my feet the vast majority of the time. These socks held up for the most part but the “happy pill” socks started to unravel around one of the pills after I washed them according to directions the second time.
I just got these and ordered a L/XL. They fit my foot but that about all. They only come half way to my knee. I’m 5’7”. They fit the same on my daughter who is the same height but thinner. Cost more to send them back than I paid.
Infused with natural aloe vera and Vitamin E these Earth Therapeutics Aloe Socks with are super-soft that continually moisturize while surrounding your feet in plush comfort. Fits most foot sizes. For best results, massage in your favorite foot lotion before slipping on the socks to leave feet feeling soft and smooth.
I have used so far with and without foot cream. Lovely socks, really soft and don’t make the feet sweat, even when I wear at night. Have slapped on Soap & Glory foot cream with these and they are great as they don’t stick to the feet.
as normal socks have done in the past that I have tried. Great that you get two pairs so you can use one pair when the others are needing a wash, although I’ve worn the same pair three times now and haven’t needed to wash them yet as they still feel really fresh on the feet even with the cream on.
Really soft to the touch too as I have a weird issue with my hands and certain materials, but these I can touch without the very strange feeling I do get with some socks.

Classic wool liner sock in 50% traceable merino wool. An everyday wool sock that will keep you warm all day. Integrated knitted HH logo on the side of the ankle.
Love these sox!!!! My food doesn’t sweat in them at all. I wear those super thermal boot in the winter as I work outside, I only wear cotton sox because any other make my feet heat up and sweat. Most of my sox are good but if i wear the boots for more than 8 hours they begin to accumulate moisture andnmy boots get wet inside.
I have work these for over 12 hours in those thermal boots — dry feet, warm feet, dry sox and dry boots. HH always makes great stuff, and these sox are one of the best I owned for the winter weather.
Highly recommend. Btw, I worked today in -27 for 9 hours wearing these sox and my feet never got cold.
I read the reviews on these socks which were mixed but decided to give them a shot anyways because they are HH, big mistake. Worst socks ever, very tight around toes and short for crew socks, thin material, tag says XL whatever that means but website description says 13-15 which isn’t even close.
Terrible quality and fit, an embarrassment for HH.
I use them for working out and in lace up ankle boots. Nice thick and warm quality. They stay nice too; good quality. No holes or piles after intense wear for months. It’s my second order of these socks.

Mostly excellent. Actually bought 5 or 6 different designs for family as these make really great gifts. They support an exciting range of good causes. Nice job! Website and ordering was easy except for one thing – I kept seeing some designs that seemed to be available but when I chose the size/gender, it said not available.
So maybe some sort of filter option that limits what is shown based what is available *in the size/gender previously specified*. Delivery was fast, but maybe there could be some kind of info given on where items ship from, so folk in different countries can choose if they want to buy items shipped long distance/transatlantic.
Maybe some local distribution in due course. But the product itself is definitely 5 star so this is maybe a 4. 5 star review overall!.
This is the third gift set I have purchased from you guys for my mom. She absolutely loves these socks. She says they are super comfortable and they are the only kind that do not fall down throughout the day.
Thanks for your contribution to all of these great foundations/causes, and for a great, high quality socks that you make. I love that these socks have a purpose and are helping the world become a better place.
my son and his girlfriend were thrilled to receive these as gifts. Not only do proceeds go to a good cause but they are comfortable and look great! Maybe I’ll buy some for myself now.

As always the socks are not only stylish but incredibly comfortable and durable. One idea that our family thought of was putting the emblem at the top of the sock near the edge instead of at the ankle.
A lot of us (especially the three girls) actually scrunch the socks down and you can’t see the logo anymore. Which makes us sad.
Sticky Be Socks makes the best women’s non slip, grip socks for yoga, pilates, barre, the gym, or cozy weekends at home. These sticky bottom, grip socks make the perfect gift for teens and adults of any age.
