A blister is friction with nowhere to go. Something rubs, the skin moves against the layer under it, and by the end of a week in the same boots there is a hot spot in the same place. NanoGLIDE is the answer this range offers: a yarn knitted so the sock slides against itself, which takes some of that movement off your heel and into the fabric where it does no harm.

It is worth being exact about what that buys you, because a yarn is not a fix for a badly fitting shoe. If a boot is half a size too big, your heel is travelling every step and no sock stops that. What a low-friction yarn does is take the edge off the rubbing that a well-fitting shoe still produces over a long day, which is most people's complaint rather than the extreme one. On this page the yarn comes at the quarter height and as a sport-cut liner, so you can have it in the shoe you actually blister in.

Every pack count and shoe size here is priced on its own. the MediPeds lineup keeps the figures current, and the till is what decides.

About these pieces

Questions about MediPeds NanoGLIDE Socks

For a heel that goes sore by Thursday

What does NanoGLIDE do in a MediPeds sock?

It lets the sock slide against itself rather than against your skin. Friction is what starts a blister, and a yarn that moves internally takes some of that movement off the foot.

Will a MediPeds NanoGLIDE sock stop a blister?

It is not a promise we will make. A sock cannot fix a shoe that is the wrong size, and a heel that travels every step will rub whatever is on it. What the yarn can do is reduce the rubbing a properly fitting shoe still produces over a long day.

Which heights do MediPeds NanoGLIDE socks come in?

A quarter sock and a sport-cut liner, so the yarn is available in both a low shoe and a boot-height sock.
