Although many people may not realize, there are specialized shoes for everything. Weightlifters don’t wear shoes made for joggers; runners don’t wear basketball shoes and baseball players don’t wear tennis shoes. Shoes are specialized for people and activities. Diabetic shoes are no different. Diabetic shoes are specifically designed to protect the feet against forces that can cause breakdown in the skin and develop into dangerous sores and ulcers. If you have diabetes and don’t use diabetic shoes, you should consult the doctor about diabetic shoes immediately about your options.

The risks of wounds to the foot in a diabetic patient are particularly high because poor circulation and neuropathy reduce the nerves’ ability to heal and sense damage to the feet at all, which means that problems are not felt and therefore not addressed. So, sores can grow into wounds and ulcers without someone even realizing it. These wounds in turn can grow infected and lead to dangerous, life-threatening conditions, including amputation.

A proper diabetic shoe provides comfort, but more importantly, protection. Diabetic shoes keep ulcers from forming and prevent foot strains and calluses. The interior is made from soft seam-less materials with no stitching as to prevent irritation caused by materials rubbing against the foot as you move. Diabetic shoe provides a spacious toe box to offer extra room for the toes—especially important when considering deformities such as bunions or hammertoes. They also often have extra depth to accommodate custom orthotic inserts, providing even greater support and distribution of weight away from pressure points
