Collection: Diabetic and Soft Top Socks

Discover Diabetic and Soft Top Socks for Specialised Foot Support

When you're working long shifts on a construction site, packing in a warehouse, or trudging through the mud on a farm, the last thing you want to worry about is your feet. But for those living with diabetes or poor blood circulation, the wrong workwear socks can lead to more than just discomfort - it can be a real health risk.

That’s why HJ Hall’s Diabetic and Soft Top Socks exist: to give you the support you need without adding any unnecessary pressure, literally. You can rely on these specialised work socks to keep up with your pace, minus the digging and pinching.

What Are Diabetic Socks?

Diabetic socks are designed to actively support people with diabetes or circulation issues, who are often at greater risk of foot problems like ulcers, infections, or blisters.

The ones in our collection are cleverly engineered with non-restrictive tops that improve blood flow while providing enough stretch to keep them securely in place - so no falling down halfway through your shift. Plus, they offer moisture-wicking properties to keep your feet dry, which is essential for anyone wearing heavy work boots day in and day out.

What Are Soft Top Socks?

If you’ve ever taken off your work boots after a long day only to see deep marks around your legs from tight socks, you know that’s not the best feeling. Soft top socks eliminate that elastic band feeling with their gentle grip, keeping your socks in place with a superior comfort fit.

These socks stay up without clutching on too tightly, meaning no uncomfortable pressure around your calves by the end of the day and making them perfect for those with swollen feet. They’re breathable, and like their diabetic counterparts, they help reduce moisture, which is particularly useful for busy shifts or hot summer days. 

What is the Difference Between Regular Work Socks and Diabetic Socks?

You might be wondering: why not just wear regular work socks? And it's a good question, because if you choose decent workwear socks, like those in our collection, you're usually getting everything you need. But if you’re dealing with diabetes or bad circulation, they may not be enough.

Regular socks may be too tight, restrict blood flow, or fail to wick away moisture, which is especially important when you’re dealing with sensitive feet. Specialised socks like these go the extra mile, offering padded protection in the areas that matter most, while also managing moisture to keep your feet dry, reducing the risk of blisters, sores, or infections.

So, while regular work socks are great for most, diabetic socks are what your feet actually need when you’re doing heavy-duty work.

What Work Boots Should You Wear with Diabetic Socks?

You’ve got your diabetic or soft top socks on, doing their thing - helping your circulation, keeping your feet cushioned - don’t undo all that by squeezing them into boots that are too tight!

A good pair of work boots should allow your toes to wiggle and your feet to breathe. Boots with a roomy fit and wide toe box are ideal because they complement the benefits of these socks, rather than compressing your feet. Tight boots can restrict blood flow, something you absolutely don’t want if you’re already managing circulation issues. So, make sure your boots give your feet the room they need.

Care & Maintenance Tips for Specialised Socks

Taking care of your diabetic and soft top socks is simple but important.

Machine wash in cold water and air dry, avoiding high heat which can break down the material that make these socks so effective. If they get any nicks, snip off the loose fibres to prevent any further damage.
