Product Details

Our Ladies Gentle Grip Plain Cotton Socks in Pink/Purple design are the number one solution for people who find regular socks tight and uncomfortable.

Whether you need specific non-binding socks or you’re simply searching for the world’s most comfortable socks, our Gentle Grip socks will make your life more comfortable.

Made with a special mix of soft-touch cotton and modern man-made yarns. Cotton’s hollow fibres are naturally soft and breathable to keep your feet more comfortable, while modern man-made yarns improve fit, long-term shape, durability and wash.

At the core of every Gentle Grip sock is our famous non-binding HoneyComb Top™, which gently stretches and contours to the natural shape of your legs, easing pressure and restriction, preventing pinching and the unpleasant compression marks typically associated with regular socks. In fact, Gentle Grip’s innovative HoneyComb Top™ construction is scientifically tested to be twice as relaxed as a regular cotton sock!

Gentle Grip’s EasyFit™ technology improves elasticity and stretch to improve fit and increase comfort, and if you have limited mobility this can also help putting socks on and off.

Whoops

These socks are not what I expected as unfortunately they do not stay up. After wearing them for about 30 minutes they manage to slip down my leg and under my feet. This causes a ball of material under the sole of my feet which in hurts and I have to keep pulling them back up again. In the end I have to take them off completely. This also happens with the knee high socks that I bought a while ago and it's worse when I wear boots. Can you imagine a whole sock gathered underneath the sole of your feet?. I would have sent them all back but I tried every pair just in case the first ones were a one off but no such luck. Now I have 15 pairs of socks languishing in the drawer that I cannot wear. I've decided not to wear any socks at all now, even when it's cold

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the socks did not meet your expectations. By the nature of their design, our socks are made to be non-binding, which unfortunately may not suit everyone's preferences. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry for your disappointment.

Good socks

My second purchase so proof that I am happy with the product. The soft tops do work but the latest ones seem to twizzle around so that the heel ends up on top of my foot. Slightly annoying but it is good not to have elastic tops cutting my legs in half!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear that you are happy with your second purchase of our Ladies Plain Cotton Socks. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the tops twizzling around, but we're happy to know that our soft tops are working for you.

Seam ….less!

Liked the socks very much. Lovely colours and soft tops perfect. But, I do find the seams, at the edges of the toe section, to be a little uncomfortable. That won’t stop me buying more though.

Thank you for your feedback on our 3 Pairs Ladies Plain Cotton Socks in Pink/Purple. We're glad to hear that you liked the colors and softness of the socks. We apologise for any discomfort caused by the seams at the toe section. If they cause an issue, you maybe better with our diabetic range of socks as these all have a hand linked toe seam. Kind regards

semi-acceptable

comfy socks, stay up well and nice colours; shame about the thick seam across the toes which I can feel; otherwise would have been 5*

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for your socks. We're glad to hear that you find them comfy and like the colors. However, we're sorry to hear about the issue you have with the toe seams. Our socks are made on a tubular machine, so there will always be a toe seam, but it shouldn't be raised enough to cause you any discomfort. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you. If you wish to return the socks, we offer a free return service. Alternatively, you may want to try our diabetic range, which has a hand-linked toe seam for added comfort. If you require any further help or information, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service department. They are always happy to assist. Thanks again for your feedback.

Fave socks

Been buying your socks for a while and haven’t found any to beat them (and I’ve tried lots), so comfy and SO soft. I like the different patterns but prefer the plain ones.

So comfy!

In recent years, I've found that my ankles get very slightly swolen as the day wears on - due to a touch of dependent oedema - and standard socks leave a circle of compression. Gentle grip socks fit with ease, so they're comfortable all day!

Repeat buyer

I needed sot top socks because of a medical condition meant that my legs sometimes swell. Bought these and found them comfortable and there is a good range of colours so have bought more. I wish they did shorter length trainer socks.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for your recent purchase of our 3 Pairs Ladies Plain Cotton Socks in Pink/Purple. We are delighted to hear that you are a repeat buyer and have found our socks to be comfortable for your needs. We have a range of colours available to suit your preferences and we are happy to hear that you have purchased more from us.

We appreciate your suggestion for shorter length trainer socks, this is something our design team have been working on.

Thank you again for your support and we hope to serve you again in the future.

Kind regards

Toe seams are proud and cause discomforts

We are sorry to hear of the discomfort you have felt with our socks. We understand how important it is for socks to be comfortable and we apologise that our product did not meet your expectations. Our diabetic range may be a better option for you as they have a hand linked toe seam. Our customer service team has contacted you directly. Kind regards.

Disappointing, returned for refund

I last bought Gentle Grip socks several years ago. These have lasted well. However, I'm disappointed with the quality of my recent purchase. The fabric is thinner than previously and they show signs of wear with bobbling on the surface even before washing. Unopened packs returned for refund.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for your recent purchase of our 6 Pairs Ladies Plain Cotton Socks in Pink/Purple. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the quality and have returned them for a refund. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Once we receive your return, we will be able to look into this matter further for you. Thank you again for your feedback.

Soft top socks

Great colours with soft tops, excellent to wear, washes well, great socks

Too many lumps

I purchased these due to the soft tops and was hoping for a comfortable experience as, in the photograph, the socks appeared to be beautifully smooth. Alas, not so. The join between the main part and the toe section is thick, lumpy and extremely wobbly. The whole seam digs in my foot and there is a hard lump of fabric at each end of the seam so likely to cause pressure points of soreness.
Since these socks are marketed for people with circulation problems and diabetes I am astonished that they should have this appalling seam not seen on even cheap supermarket ones. Very disappointing.
In addition, although they are sold as sets of six pairs they arrived as two sets of three pairs. I would have preferred the option to purchase just one pack of three pairs in these colours particularly as I chose another set of colours marketed as a pack of six but arriving as two packs each of three pairs. I now have twelve pairs of lumpy-toed socks!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our product. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with our ladies plain cotton socks.

We take all feedback seriously and have contacted you to discuss this further. We understand the importance of comfort and quality, especially for those with circulation problems and diabetes. Rest assured, we will look into this matter and take necessary steps to improve our product.

Regarding the packaging, we apologise for any confusion. Our socks are sold in sets of three pairs, but we will take note of your preference for future product offerings.

We appreciate your support and hope to provide you with a more satisfactory experience in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Best regards

Great

I have been buying these a number of years as I do not like anything tight around my ankles. However my husband is Diabetic & can not take anything tight around the ankles as prone to swelling. At the moment both have not been wearing socks. These do also have a soft stitching across the toes. Two happy customers.

Update

The socks around the ankles were nice and soft- However the seams across the toes I found to be very hard and bulky+ This problem only allows me to wear the socks inside out which really is a shame-
