How to Choose the Perfect Diabetic Shoe

How to Choose the Perfect Diabetic Shoe

Living with diabetes can be difficult, but one of the most important aspects of managing your condition is wearing the right pair of shoes. Diabetic shoes are designed to provide extra comfort, support and protection for people with diabetic neuropathy. This guide will help you pick the perfect pair of diabetic shoes to keep your feet healthy and comfortable.

Consider How You Walk​

When deciding on a pair of diabetic shoes, it’s important to consider how you walk and what type of arch you have. If you tend to roll inward when you step (also known as pronation), then look for shoes that provide stability and motion control features such as a firm heel counter or medial post. A medial post is a piece of foam or plastic that is added along the inside edge of the midsole, providing extra support in this area. If you tend to roll outward when walking (known as supination) then look for shoes with cushioning and flexibility features such as an EVA midsole or rubber outsole.

Think About Your Foot Type

Another factor to consider when choosing diabetic shoes is your foot type — whether you have flat feet, high arches, wide feet, narrow feet, etc. Shoes made specifically for diabetics should offer plenty of room in both length and width so your toes don’t feel cramped or restricted while walking. Additionally, look for shoes that have adjustable straps or laces so that they can be adjusted easily if needed.
