At Capricorn Mohair Socks, we’ve always believed that comfort starts with the right materials – and nothing compares to the natural performance of mohair. That’s why our loose top Sussex socks are suitable for customers who are diabetic. They are crafted with care from this exceptional fibre, offering gentle support and all-day comfort for those living with diabetes or anyone seeking a kinder fit for their feet.
Mohair isn’t just soft – it’s a remarkable natural fibre that brings together warmth, breathability, durability and moisture management. When combined with a relaxed, non-restrictive top and a smooth interior finish, it becomes the perfect choice for sensitive feet.
Designed for Comfort and Care
Living with diabetes means paying special attention to your feet. Our loose top mohair Sussex socks are thoughtfully designed to prevent unnecessary pressure on your legs and ankles. Unlike regular socks with tight elastic cuffs that can leave marks or restrict circulation, our loose top design ensures a gentle hold – secure enough to stay in place, but soft enough to never dig in.
This makes them ideal for those with reduced circulation, swollen legs, or simply anyone tired of socks that pinch and bind.
Why Mohair is Ideal for Diabetic Feet
Mohair is one of nature’s finest technical fibres – and it's at the heart of everything we do at Capricorn. Here’s why it’s such a brilliant choice for diabetic and sensitive feet:
- Temperature regulating – mohair keeps feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer, helping prevent overheating or excess sweating.
- Moisture wicking – it naturally draws moisture away from the skin, reducing the risk of dampness and discomfort that can lead to skin irritation or infection.
- Soft yet strong – mohair is luxuriously soft, reducing friction and irritation, yet durable enough to withstand frequent wear and washing.
- Hypoallergenic – gentle on the skin, even for those prone to itching or allergic reactions.
Together, these properties help create a sock that’s light, breathable, and incredibly kind to your feet – ideal for people living with diabetes or other conditions that demand a gentler touch.
Not Just for Diabetics
Although designed with diabetic care in mind, many of our customers choose these socks simply for the superior comfort they provide. They’re perfect if you:
