Footwear and orthotics play an important role in diabetic footcare. Diabetic footwear should provide the following protective benefits:
-High, wide toe box (high and wide space in the toe area)
-Removable insoles for fitting flexibility and the option to insert orthotics if necessary.
-Rocker Soles designed to reduce pressure in the areas of the foot most susceptible to pain, most notably the ball-of-the-foot.
-Firm Heel Counters for support and stability.
If you are a diabetic and your footwear is causing you pain, you should make an appointment with your podiatrist. They can evaluate your personal problem and needs.
