John Weitz Diabetic Socks

 

 Here we have diabetic dress socks from the John Weitz collection from socks 4 life.  Recently I have reviewed diabetic tube socks, diabetic casual socks from socks 4 life/ and even though they do not sell any camping or hiking styled diabetic socks they have given me these socks to try in my Monday through Friday urban surroundings.

These diabetic dress socks were really nice.  They have a good thickness to them, the no seam toes, and the no binding tops like all diabetic socks.  A big difference in the John Weitz diabetic sock is that these are 100% acrylic and that really stands out with a pair dress slacks.  Have you ever seen someone wearing a nice pair of Brooks Brothers slacks and cheap cotton socks?  The sheen of the wool on the slacks clashes with the rough dull look of a cotton sock.  They really stand out like they put good thought into their slacks but could care less about their shoes and socks.

 

I have recently posted about how I am a Gold Toe sock person.  They are quality made and have quality comfort that lasts.  With these John Weitz socks I am a changed man.  These socks are a solid home run in the diabetes world and would recommend anyone who wants or needs to look nice and also has diabetes to pick a pair or two of these diabetic dress socks.  I received a three pack that had a dark brown, blue, and black and compared them with my Gold Toe socks and the John Weitz socks had comparable colors and a little more thickness which I like.  Overall I would give the John Weitz diabetic dress socks 4 syringes out of five on my patented diabetes scale of one to five syringes.  The reason I did not give them the fifth syringe was because they need more colors to choose from.

Sole Pleasers

 

 Today I have another diabetic sock review that I received from socks 4 life  This time it is the brand "Sole Pleasers."  I ordered a three pack of brown socks that I call a casual weekend style of sock.  These socks are 80% cotton and 20% Nylon.  The description on the socks4life website about the Sole Pleasers: "you are sure to have great moisture absorption as well as friction reduction to prevent further irritation."  They also say they are "UPS" color friendly for all you package carriers.

 

These Sole Pleasers are alot better than the Soc Doc tube socks I reviewed yesterday.  Now I am more partial to a casual sock than a tube sock so that does play into this as well.  These socks were not quitters like the Soc Doc's and they felt more even on the leg and had a softer toe.   The only downside to the Sole Pleasers is they did feel a little thin on the material.  So I would give the Soc Doc the point for their thickness and they also felt all around of higher quality material (which makes it even more weird that they were quitters on me).  Overall these Sole Pleaser socks are fantastic and on my patented diabetes syringe scale I would give them 3 syringes on the scale of one to five syringes for their use of nylon to create a wicking sock and for their even feel on the leg and also how comfortable and soft the material felt on my toes.  The downside is I am not sure how long they will last (when they do wear out I will post about it).

Let me do a little disclaimer about  socks 4 life , they do not pay me for these reviews or any advertisements I post about their website.  They were willing to put their diabetes socks to my tests even though they do not have a camping or hiking sock they wanted me to try out their product. These are great people that truly try to have the best sock at the best price and they run all sorts of great discounts all the time.  I would recommend for any of you diabetics out there, or any body for that matter to register on their website.  They even overlap their sales with discounts on their productrs, plus you can get an email with another discount code to get them even cheaper and last if you buy a certain dollar amount they discount them all again.  I call that a win-win-win situation and in the world of diabetes we can never have too many of those.
