Product Details
Extraordinary comfort. Independently tested on sensitive skin.
Give sensitive feet the comfort and care they deserve with IOMI FootNurse Upside Down, Inside Out Socks. From their silky-soft bamboo blend to their cleverly positioned toe seam, every detail is designed with comfort in mind—and now there’s independent reassurance to go with it.
Dermatologically tested. Rated “excellent” for skin tolerability.
Our Upside Down, Inside Out Socks have undergone independent testing by Dermatest, combining a patch test on 30 people with sensitive skin with a separate one-week wear test involving 10 people with sensitive skin.
The result? Excellent skin tolerability, with no relevant skin reactions detected in either study. The socks also qualified to carry the Dermatest Sensitive Skin Seal—giving you extra confidence in what you wear next to your skin.*
A clever little seam. A big difference in feel.
At the heart of every pair is our innovative toe seam, positioned on the outside of the sock and beneath the crease of your toes. This thoughtful upside-down, inside-out design keeps the seam away from the usual pressure points, creating a smooth feel against sensitive feet and helping minimise rubbing and chafing.
If regular socks feel irritating, you struggle to find a comfortably wide fit, or you simply love exceptionally soft socks, take a closer look.
Silky-soft, breathable and antibacterial.
Our luxurious blend combines silky-soft bamboo with modern man-made yarns to bring you everyday comfort. The socks are also antibacterial for extra protection and peace of mind.
Bamboo’s moisture-wicking and breathable properties help keep feet feeling fresher and drier, while the additional yarns support fit, lasting shape, durability and easy care.
These standard crew-length socks sit midway between the ankle and calf for most people. Thoughtfully designed comfort, with independently tested skin tolerability to match.
Dermatest study, September 2026. Testing comprised a patch test on 30 participants and a one-week daily wear test on 10 participants with sensitive skin. Skin tolerability was rated “excellent” under the study conditions. This study assessed skin tolerability, not antibacterial performance.

Kind to feet with peripheral neuropathy

This pair are quite thick over the foot, and thinner on the lower leg. They feel very soft and I would like a selection of colours.

Need careful handling

Socks comfortable and excellent fit but I managed to poke a hole through the top of one of the socks the first time I put them on. beware., the top section is very fragile.

Excellent

My husband reports these socks are extremely comfortable, what more can I say. Pricey for a single pair of socks, but have proved to be a worth while buy. Depends of course, on how long they last!

Wonderful generous socks, I suffer with swollen legs and feet but was comfy in these all day and they left no marks at all. Highly recommended.

Well made, good quality socks

I was looking for soft, comfortable socks that would not be too tight at the top and these fir the bill! However, they are too thick to fit in most of my shoes and boots 0 I would love a thinner version!

Be sure the socks you choose precisely meet your need

I have a range of socks from GG, from pre diabetic, then diabetic and more recently the specialist Oedema socks. Each type I have found excellent for my current needs. Seeing this new range ( upside down inside out) I thought I would give them a try. A good idea but my diabetic/oedema/ neuropathic feet just didn’t take to them . I take men’s size 15 shoe so I am pushing the envelope a bit anyway. Towards mid afternoon I was feeling a little uncomfortable and found visible skin marks around the top of the sock, I also felt a little constricted in the foot. This was a feature on other gentle grip socks where there was an obvious seam from heel to top of instep.
Regrettably, I won’t be buying more of this design, but I cannot blame the socks - I do impose a heavier burden on them than most others of smaller dimensions. No big thing, I was consciously experimenting. In review terms, the socks were lightweight, innovativeand very well put together. They certainly offer an excellent sock for normal sized diabetic feet.
I’m just about to buy another pair of oedema socks and I am certain they will serve me well.
