Dr. Kabukoba, a Senior Consultant Gynecologist in Birmingham, continued,"There's nothing on the market that compares to SmoothToe's design andconstruction. Moisture management is of critical importance for the diabeticfoot and SmoothToe uses 74% CoolMax fabric, which is the most I've seen in anysocks. CoolMax is the acknowledged leader in moisture wicking fabrics andshould replace cotton for use on the diabetic foot in order to limit bacterialgrowth, possible skin breakdown and infection.

SmoothToe achieves the necessary graduated compressionwithout any of the discomfort often associated with medical compressionhosiery.
