Diabetic Shoes: The Complete Guide to Protecting Your Feet with the Right Footwear

Without normal feeling, you may not notice:

• Small cuts
• Blisters
• Pressure sores
• Hot spots from poorly fitting shoes

Minor injuries can quickly become more serious if left untreated.

Poor Blood Circulation

Diabetes may reduce blood flow to the feet, slowing the healing process.

Even small wounds can take longer to recover and may become infected if not properly cared for.

Foot Deformities

Some people with diabetes develop conditions such as:

• Bunions
• Hammertoes
• Claw toes
• Charcot foot

These conditions create additional pressure points that require supportive, roomy footwear.

Increased Risk of Foot Ulcers

Foot ulcers are one of the most serious diabetic foot complications.
