WHY: Socks are important to help keep feet warm but are also crucial for our Homeless patients struggling with foot wounds and diabetes. Warm feet help those with diabetes monitor loss of sensation in the toes, which is one of the first indicators that one’s diabetes is not sustained. They are also the most requested item by our patients during colder months.
Famous Footwear has also launched a sock sale of buy-one get-one 50% off for the month of October, and highly encourage customers to consider donating the second pair.
