Anybody advise on good socks to keep feet warm probably from having diabetes.

Some of them I have looked at have "no toes" and it is my toes that are constantly freezing.  Thanks

I've not tried them, but silk socks are said to be excellent for retaining warmth, and can be worn under regular sockets.

The socks without toes supposedly help with neuropathy from diabetes. I use them with regular wool mix or slipper socks over them

Diabetes UK is a registered charity.  So, hopefully, the products that they sell will be of good quality:

I have diabetes and my toes are always feeling cold (but when I touch my toes they are warm).
My solution is 2 pairs of socks and I have been doing this since end September.
Pair 1 are thin bamboo socks which arte soft and wam in their own right. On top of these I pull on a pair of thicker ribbed winter socks.
The under socks take up no volume and slippers and shoes can be worn as normal.
It suits me!
