Got neuropathy and you're looking for a comfortable pair of non-binding socks for better circulation? At the same time you're looking for socks with excellent moisture wicking properties (cuts down on blisters), and you'd like a little padding on the soles? Chances are that you'll want to try out a pair of these Wigwam socks.
I confess that I've always preferred the feel of cotton or wool socks. However cotton tends to have lousy moisture wicking properties, and I've recently decided that my lower legs are sensitive to wool.
Wigwam makes the only circulatory friendly socks I've found that are non-wool, with moisture wicking fibers (45% Olefin, 30% X20® Acrylic, 25% Stretch Nylon), and have a little padding on the soles. Patented X20® Acrylic repels moisture and has the added plus of exhibiting antimicrobial properties.
Wigwam makes another pair of non-binding socks that are a wool blend and (I'm guessing) likely have superior padding on the sole: the Wigwam Wool Diabetic Walker. The sock is 62% patented "Wool Dri-release" (88% Polyester, 12% Wool), and 38% Stretch Nylon. If you have no problem wearing merino wool socks, then you might want to try a pair of them instead or also. I'll probably eventually break down and buy a pair and see if I've actually got a problem with wool.
Another plus of buying Wigwam is that they are made in the USA (Sheboygan, to be exact).Get more detail about Wigwam Men's Diabetic Strider Sock.
