A lot of people probably aren't aware of this, but there are actually specialist pairs of shoes for just about any activity you can think of. Bodybuilders don't train in jogging shoes, runners don't wear basketball shoes, and baseball players don't wear tennis shoes. Each pair of shoes is designed for a specific type of person and use. The same is true for diabetic shoes. Diabetic shoe is made to withstand the forces that can lead to sores and ulcers on feet that are already prone to injury. If you have diabetes but aren't already wearing special shoes, you should talk to our doctor right away about your options.

Due to poor circulation and neuropathy, diabetes patients are at increased risk for foot wounds, as they are less likely to feel any pain or notice any damage to their feet. This means that sores have the potential to become ulcers and wounds if left untreated. Infection of these wounds can cause serious, even fatal, complications, such as the need for amputation.



A good pair of diabetic shoes will keep your feet comfortable, but its primary function is to keep you safe. Diabetic shoes help avoid foot injuries such ulcers, calluses, and strains. Smooth, stitch-free materials line the inside, reducing the potential for blisters and other irritations that might result from seams rubbing on the foot. In order to accommodate for foot deformities such bunions and hammertoes, diabetic footwear typically has a wider toe box. They frequently feature additional depth for the use of custom orthotic inserts, which further enhances support and weight distribution by shifting the body's center of gravity away from the foot's pressure spots.
