I was very pleased to see advertisements for arthritis socks which not only separated the toes, but which did so in a roomy “box” design. There seems no point in wearing socks which do not hold the toes, if your arthritis causes painfully affected toes to twist over one another. Having worn Imak gloves for several years, I am familiar with the the brand’s quality, & had no hesitation in ordering their socks. Putting them on arthritic toes is a bit of a struggle, especially getting the little toe into its own space, but I found using a pencil or something similar, helps to complete the task. The longer than usual length & firm fit stopped the socks from sliding down, hence the toes remained protected. To be able to walk in relative comfort, without the top joints cruelly pressing over and into one another, was a great relief. Like the Imak gloves, the socks dry very quickly, but I intend to buy more pairs, to ensure I I always have them when needed. Obviously, these gloves won’t cure arthritis, but the support and comfort they have given me have provided me with a great deal of relief.
