Diabetic Shoes

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.). The shoes decrease the chance of foot sores (ulcers), which can be caused by friction and pressure. This may lead to infection, gangrene or even amputation. Most Insurance will cover 1 pair of diabetic shoes and insoles; however, not all diabetic are entitled to this benefit.
