What are the Benefits
Diabetic shoes decrease the risk of diabetic foot ulcers, thus reducing the risk of amputations. Properly fitted diabetic shoes offer support and protection that minimize the impact on high-pressure areas of the foot. For the proper shoe and fit contact Saving Soles a certified Pedorthist.
Why You Need Them
Shoes for patients living with diabetes are made of special protective inserts and soft shoe materials to accommodate for conditions, such as neuropathy (numb feet), poor circulation and foot deformities (bunions, hammertoes, etc.).
Non-diabetics
It is quite common for non-diabetics to purchase diabetic shoes precisely because they provide so much comfort and support. They are also great for foot problems that are not necessarily related to diabetes such as heel pain, ball of the foot pain, blisters, flat feet, wide feet etc.
