The importance of Diabetic Footwear and its Characteristics.

For those dealing with diabetes, paying attention to foot care becomes crucial for their overall health. Below, we highlight the characteristics of specific diabetic shoes, explaining simply their benefits and why a careful and informed choice is essential to prevent complications and promote the well-being of individuals with diabetes.

Shape

- Increased by an extra 1 cm in the toe depth;

- Extra width in the forefoot;

- Increased volume.

The extra centimeter prevents the toes from hitting the shoe tip and enhances air circulation. Diabetic feet require this extra width to avoid tightness and accommodate swollen feet, preventing pressure and ensuring comfort.

Toe Box

- Wide and rounded toe box;

- High toe box;

- Reinforced.

Allows toes, already in a deformed state, to return to a more anatomically correct position. Accommodates toe deformations and provides protection against impacts.

Counter

- Resistant and extended counter.

- Stabilizes, supports, and prevents ankle twists.

Lining

- Textile with silver ions;

- Seamless.

Silver ions provide permanent antibacterial properties to the lining. Completely padded, without overlapping pieces, and with a soft collar for foot protection and friction prevention.

Insole

- Soft and removable.

Absorbs and relieves plantar pressure.

Sole

- Thick;

- With "Rocker" system.

Reduces pressure on the forefoot and metatarsophalangeal joints. Absorbs irregularities in the terrain.

Upper

- Natural leather;

- With wide opening.

Promotes foot breathability and facilitates shoe wearing for individuals with joint difficulties.

Closure

- Simple Velcro strap.

Prevents over-tightening the shoe and constricting circulation.

Extra Care

- Secure tongue system with dorsal pedal artery protection;

- Half insole for volume adjustment.

Relieves pressure on the artery and does not compromise blood flow to the foot. Adjusts the shoe volume to the foot.
