Diabetic Shoes
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008A well fitted pair of diabetic shoes should be comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time, and they should not rub or bite on any part of the foot.
These shoes are designed to be slightly wider and deeper than regular shoes and they also allow the addition of a removable (and replaceable) diabetic insole. These insoles are shaped to the contours of the foot and some utilise modern materials like visco elastic memory foam for padding. The design of these shoes allows periodic replacement of the insole, or the option to try different types of insole until the best fit is found.
Good diabetic or orthopedic shoes should allow sufficient room for the toes to move and for the feet to expand during prolonged standing, or on a hot day. Good quality shoes need to work with, and accommodate to, the changes of the feet during activities like walking and to provide air circulation within the shoe.
