Proper Fitting Diabetic Shoes are Essential for People With Diabetes.
An estimated 15 million Americans are affected by diabetes. At least half will need foot care and would benefit from extra-depth shoes and orthoses. A common problem of diabetics is neuropathy in the lower extremities which is a loss of sensation. Because they are unaware of foot position and pain, diabetics are vulnerable to foot injuries or irritation from improper fitting shoes. Excessive pressure and friction from wearing the wrong type of shoes can lead to blisters, calluses, ulcers, and amputations.
Proper fitting shoes are important in avoiding foot deformity and are essential for patients with diabetes, arthritis, and other foot disorders. Being fitted by a professional Certified Pedorthist and selecting the right type of shoes and orthosis can help protect feet from serious complications.
Our Shoes are Custom Fit by the Area’s Only Certified Pedorthist: Carol Jensen, C. Ped.
All of our shoe lines provide extra-depth comfort and are ideal for diabetics or anyone interested in comfort. We can make your custom orthotics in our in-store lab, and offer custom fitting by the area’s only Certified Pedorthist.
