Diabetic Shoes and Slippers

Why do I need Diabetic Shoes?

Neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes. Neuropathy is a loss of feeling or reduced sensation that occurs in the body’s nerves. 

Due to a loss of feeling, cuts, scrapes, sores, calluses, and strain can go unnoticed on a person’s feet who has Diabetic Neuropathy. Foot ulcers can develop in less than a single day, and over time, these wounds can grow and become infected, eventually leading to a full foot amputation. Diabetic shoes lessen rates of amputation by providing additional depth, comfort, and protection for a person’s feet.

Additionally, Diabetic Neuropathy can change the shape of a person's feet over time. For many, diabetic shoes provide added width and comfort that regular shoes cannot provide. Diabetic Shoes can reduce amputations and reulcerations by over 50%.
