WHAT ARE Diabetic SHOES?
You may be thinking, what does Diabetes have to do with shoes?
Well, people with Diabetes have very sensitive skin, they are prone to swelling, have blood circulation issues and often experience numbness in their feet.
That is why when looking for shoes for a person with Diabetes, you should look for the following features.
WHAT TO CONSIDER:
- The shoe has soft and protective (flush) interiors.
- A deep and wide toe box to allow for extra room around the toes
- Extra depth to provide a pressure-free fit.
- Minimal to no stitching so as to not irritate the skin.
- Lightweight features, cushioned soles to facilitate mobility and stability.
- Stretchy and light uppers that contour to the shape of the wearers foot which also help eliminate pressure.
