Diabetes and Foot Care

Proper foot care is an important part of Diabedes management. In fact diabetics are at an extremely increased risk for foot disorders.

Foot problems are the most common diabetes complication leading to hospitalization. Ulcers or sores on the foot can be caused by improper shoe gear that can result in infection and possible amputation. Studies show that well fitted diabetic shoes with moldable insoles reduce the development of these ulsers and sores.

This is why the therapeutic shoes and insoles are an excellent first step toward better foot care.

For proper fitting shoes and insoles individuals must be fitted for diabetic shoes by a knowledgeable professional. A Certified Pedorthist specializes in the design, manufacturing, modification and/or fit of footwear, including shoes, orthoses, and foot devices to prevent or alleviate foot problems caused by disease, congenital defect, over use or injury.

Diabetic Shoes were designed with the input of patients and professionals. We discovered that many people with diabedes have trouble finding a shoe that is comfortable. This is why Diabetic Shoes have a balanced goal of providing protection for the diabedic foot as well as comfort and style. Diabetic Shoes have additional depth to accomodate a diabetic insole.
