Therapeutic Shoes

As a diabetic, it is vital that you take good care of your feet on a daily basis, especially if you are on your feet all day. Many diabetics suffer from poor foot circulation combined with wearing the wrong type of shoes - this can trigger major foot problems. For example, if you wear shoes that are too tight, it can cause your feet to bleed, develop blisters and even cause lesions in between your toes which are extremely painful. That’s why it is so important for diabetics to wear comfortable diabetic shoes to give extra protection. The following are a few tips to remember when choosing a diabetic shoe:

Choose a diabetic shoe that has a high and wide toe box. This prevents your toes from rubbing and pinching, which can be harmful to your feet.
Choose a diabetic shoe with an adjustable closure. For example, the “Hook-and-Loop” provides the perfect fit because the shoe wearer can adjust the fit by making it tighter or looser.
Choose a seamless diabetic shoe. It comforts extra sensitive feet. Also make sure that you wear seamless diabetes stockings and socks with your diabetic shoes.
