Orthopedic Socks

Orthopedic socks is a store name, not a standard. Shops use it for soft socks made for sensitive or hard-to-fit feet. Mi Socks are that kind of sock: a wide, loose top band that stays up without a tight elastic ring, a smooth flat toe seam and a terry-cushioned sole. They are everyday socks, not a medical device. One pair is $9.99.

What are orthopedic socks?

The name has no set meaning, so two pairs sold as orthopedic can be very different. Most are non-binding socks with a smooth toe seam and a cushioned sole, much like diabetic socks. Check the features instead of the label. Our guide, what are orthopedic socks, compares the kinds.

What do Mi Socks have?

A top band knit wide and loose, so it stays up without a tight ring. A flat toe seam that lies smooth against your toes. Terry cushioning under the foot. The fabric is 80% cotton, 13% polyester, 5% rubber and 2% spandex. Lengths are Crew, which ends at mid-calf, and Knee High, which ends just below the knee.

Do these socks squeeze?

No. Some socks sold as orthopedic are made to squeeze the leg, so read the label. Mi Socks are not compression socks and are made not to squeeze. If your doctor has prescribed compression stockings, keep wearing those.

Sizes and colors

Pick M, L or XL by shoe size on the sock size chart. Colors are Black, White and Marble Grey, plus four prints. For feet that are sensitive to seams or pressure, see socks for neuropathy and sensitive feet and cushioned socks.
