Knit Rite manufactures a wide variety of socks designed to provide comfort for diabetic individuals, with 11 different sock designs. Knit Rite products fall into one of two categories. SmartKnit® Seamless Diabetic Socks are patented socks completely free of seams, and are recommended for people with diabetes, arthritis, or any condition where protection from irritation is important. The knitting process to construct these socks uses high-stretch core-spun yarns that "hug" feet to help reduce wrinkling and bunching.

The TheraSock® Comfort System incorporates padding and larger, stretchy socks that accommodate swelling or bandaged feet. The TheraSock® Sleep Sock is specially designed with grip to help prevent wearers from slipping on the floor when getting out of bed. Available in a variety of colors and styles, each Knit Rite sock design features moisture-wicking fibers that wick away moisture from the skin and keep feet comfortable and dry.
