A Bit About Why Diabetic Feet Need "Special" Shoes

Diabetes is when your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or it produces no insulin. Type 1 diabetes is when you don’t produce any, and type two is where the body produces either too little or the body is resistant to insulin.

A common side effect of diabetes is "peripheral neuropathy," which causes loss of sensation in the limbs. Shoes that don't fit properly which rub or pinch the feet can lead to ulceration and foot injury. This can be because the diabetic person does not feel the injury until it is too late. A properly fitted diabetic shoe is very important in preventing injuries and helps to reduce pain by having proper foot care. Dr. Comfort^® shoes are specially designed to fit the diabetic foot. They feature extra width and depth in the toe box and forefoot to relieve pressure from other areas of the foot.

Diabetic shoes are often wider and deeper than regular shoes, to make room for special diabetic insoles. Insoles for diabetics are generally custom-made for the patient's feet, This is to ensure proper fit vand minimize rubbing and uneven weight distribution, preventing injury. However Dr. Comfort^® has designed various types of inserts which may be used instead of custom inserts, They even heat-molded to help with pressure distribution.

Wide Widths, High Toe Boxes — Diabetic Solutions

Diabetic footwear including socks and shoes/slippers should be non-constrictive and adjustable in order to accommodate poor circulation and the risk of sores, pain and irritations. These two features accommodate for poor circulation and the risk of sores, pain and irritations.
