"Up until now, all socks are made this way, a seam is necessary and cannot be cut because it would cause the sock to unravel and cause a hole.

From conversations with Eric, he told us that he found it more comfortable to wear his socks inside out to solve this problem, this instead put the seam on the outside with his feet being protected by the cushioning underneath."

We speak to Director Shane Doughty about the story behind our innovative, new product, The Upside Down Inside Out Sock®.

Struggling as so many people do to know where to turn for support after being diagnosed with Lymphoedema in his 40s, Matt Hazledine launched the website lymphoedemaunited.com

Like millions of others, Matt wore traditional elasticated socks in his 'pre-lymphoedema' life. But he soon found these socks were no good, and actually exacerbated the problem.

"The solution for me was socks from gentlegrip.co.uk. They did not leave any indentation on my leg and still stayed up! This was one problem solved for me and I was and still am very keen to inform others living with lower limb lymphoedema about these wonderful products."
