One type of gel socks has permanently stitched gel heel pads. These gel socks provide support only in the heel area. They are designed to prevent skin dryness, cracking and scab by reducing heel friction. The socks themselves are made of 80% cotton and 20% nylon.
Another gel sock design features gel support pads that extend the entire length of the sole. The gel pads in these gel socks can also be stitched permanently, but the seams are conveniently placed along the bottom of the sole for added comfort. These socks cover the entire sole of the foot and often enhance foot care by reducing scratches, calluses and friction over large areas.
People with sore, tired or arthritic feet may want to try foot warmers. These 100% cotton machine washable socks include removable gel pads that can be heated in the microwave. The cushion is inserted into a specially designed pocket and the soothing and warm effects are said to last for hours. The socks are cheap and the MATS can be changed.
Hairline gel socks are specifically designed for women. Not only do they provide soothing padding, they are also mixed with grape seeds, olive oil and vitamin E to moisturize dry and cracked skin. While socks have non-slip decals on the bottom, ankle boots are designed to be worn while sleeping. Trying to walk on a smooth gel pad can be a safety hazard. One-size socks are made of 90% cotton and 10% spandex and must be hand-washed and air-dried.
