A daily check helps you spot trouble. The sock is on your feet the rest of the day.
Most socks hold themselves up with a tight elastic top, and most have a seam running across the toes. On feet that can't always feel a rub, that's two small problems, worn all day, every day.
Most diabetic socks on the shelf are synthetic or cotton. In a 2026 review of 17 diabetic socks sold around the world, not one used mohair.
Mohair is different.
It comes from the Angora goat, and South Africa grows about half the world's supply. Mohair fibres are smoother than sheep's wool, so they glide instead of scratch, and mohair soaks up moisture without feeling damp.
We've made mohair socks in Cape Town since 1991. Our Diabetic Medical Sock is built around the three things diabetic feet need most: no squeeze, no rub, and dry.
Made for feet that need looking after
Everyday colours: navy, black or charcoal. Nothing that looks like a hospital sock. Sizes 4 to 7 and 8 to 12.
For anyone whose feet need a little extra care
People living with diabetes, and anyone with poor circulation, swollen ankles, arthritis, Raynaud's, chilblains, varicose veins, sweaty feet or sensitive skin. And anyone who simply hates tight sock tops.
Buying for someone else? Many of our customers do. Husbands, wives, moms and dads.

Three pairs. One on, one in the wash, one spare.
- 3 pairs of the Diabetic Medical Sock, so there's a clean pair every morning.
- Free delivery to your door in 2 to 5 working days.
- The right size, first time. Not sure which size? . Two quick questions and you're done.
- Our Stays-Up Promise (below).
Bought one pair at a time, three pairs cost R885. The kit is R795, with free delivery. That's R265 a pair, or about R4 a day if you replace them every six months.
If all this kit did was take one worry off your morning, would it be worth R4 a day?

Promise
Our Stays-Up Promise
Wear them for 30 days. If they slide down, or they simply don't suit you, tell us. We'll send a different size free, or refund you in full. Your choice. We pay the return postage, and worn socks are fine.
They hold gently on purpose, because a sock that doesn't squeeze can't grip like an ordinary one. Pull them up to full length and the ribbed leg does the rest. If they still slide, that's what the promise is for. This promise is in addition to your rights under the Consumer Protection Act and the ECTA. Full terms.
Picture tomorrow morning
Coffee. Two minutes to look at your feet. A fresh, soft pair on before your shoes. One less thing to worry about.
These socks aren't for everyone. If socks that leave marks don't bother you, keep the ones you have. But if you'd like a pair that's kind to the feet all day, this is the easiest way to start.
In short

Which size should I choose?
Size 4 to 7 or 8 to 12, by shoe size. Between sizes, or buying for feet that swell? . It takes two quick questions. If the size is still wrong, the Stays-Up Promise covers a free swap.
Will they slide down?
They hold gently on purpose, so there's no elastic biting into the leg. Pull them up to full length and the graduated ribbed leg keeps them in place. If they still slide within 30 days, we'll swap the size or refund you.
Can I choose different colours?
Yes. Choose navy, black or charcoal for all three pairs, or take one pair of each colour.
How do I wash them?
Lukewarm wash at 40°C. No bleach, no ironing and no dry cleaning.
How long does delivery take?
2 to 5 working days anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is free on the kit.
Can I buy just one pair?
Yes. One pair is R295 plus delivery. Try one pair.
Should I still see my doctor or podiatrist?
Yes. Socks and the daily check go together with a professional foot check at least once a year, or more often if you've been told to.
Not ready for three pairs?
Try one pair first for R295 plus delivery. The Stays-Up Promise still applies.
