A well fitted therapeutic shoe with moldable inserts can reduce the risk of foot ulcers or other complications because they can:

· Protect feet against trauma and provide adequate space to prevent callus and ulcer formation caused by  pressure or rubbing from shoes that are too tight.

· Provide adequate room to allow for swelling and deformities of the foot without creating pressure points.

· Cushion  high pressure areas of the foot and appropriately support the entire foot during ambulation with custom-moldable inserts.

· Allow airflow within the shoe to keep feet as cool and dry as possible.

· Appropriately support feet with deformities such as hammer toe, bunions, partial amputations, etc.

 

What does a diabetic shoe have that a walking shoe doesn’t?

Popular running and athletic shoes may look great and feel great (initially), but they are not designed for the needs of elderly diabetic residents in senior care facilities

“Just say no to Reeboks!”

Why diabetic shoes are better than athletic or walking shoes

Firm heel with deep padded heel cup offers comfort and support

Special outsole provides great stability; provides traction on all surfaces without sticking on carpet.  Rounded sole at heel and toe discourage shuffling gait

Shoe can be machine washed to handle soiling from incontinence, food, outdoor use.

Deep toe box allows for a full length heel-to-toe custom insert; accommodates  foot abnormalities

Air holes ventilate shoe and allow foot to receive air circulation

Specially formulated neoprene contours to patient’s foot shape; stretches to accommodate swelling

Velcro enclosure with wide opening; easier to place foot into shoe
