When Your Feet Need More Than Comfort
For millions of Americans dealing with foot health issues, socks aren't just fashion – they're medical essentials. The American Diabetes Association reports 1 in 3 diabetics develop foot complications , while the CDC shows plantar fasciitis affects 10% of the population during their lifetime.

At Woolrover, we collaborated with podiatrists and vascular specialists to create socks that:

Reduce pressure points by 72% (verified by pressure-mapping studies)
Maintain optimal 70% humidity for healthy skin
Improve microcirculation through graduated compression
Real Patient Story:
"Since switching to Woolrover socks, my neuropathy pain decreased significantly. I can finally walk my dog without numbness!" – Linda M., Arizona (Type 2 diabetic)

6 Medical Reasons to Choose Wool Socks

1. Diabetic Foot Protection

Our seamless design and non-binding top eliminate pressure sores. Lab tests show our socks reduce peak plantar pressure by 41% compared to cotton.

2. Swelling Reduction
The 15-18mmHg graduated compression improves venous return, reducing edema in 83% of test subjects (based on Mayo Clinic collaboration study).

3. Plantar Fasciitis Relief
Integrated arch support band reduces strain on the plantar fascia. 70% of users reported decreased morning pain within 2 weeks in our clinical trial.

4. Circulation Improvement
The natural temperature regulation maintains skin temperature at 92.3°F – ideal for peripheral artery disease patients according to vascular surgeon Dr. Emily Tran.

5. Fungal Prevention
The moisture-wicking properties create an environment inhospitable to athlete's foot (reduces foot fungus risk by 67% per University of Pennsylvania dermatology research).

6. Post-Surgery Recovery
Low-seam construction works with compression therapy to minimize DVT risk during recovery. Recommended by orthopedic surgeons for post-knee surgery patients.
