Therapeutic Diabetic Shoes

Why Diabetic Shoes Matter

Standard footwear creates pressure points that healthy feet can tolerate but diabetic feet, with impaired sensation and circulation, cannot. A pressure sore that a person without neuropathy would feel and compensate for can become an ulcer, then an infection, then a serious complication in a patient with diabetes.

Therapeutic footwear is one of the most effective preventive interventions available for diabetic foot health.
