It is so important to see your Podiatrist or Podiatric Surgeon at least twice a year, to ensure you are reducing your risk of infection. One way of reducing your risk is by having your Podiatrist inspect your feet, cut your toenails, trim your calluses, treat any wounds or ulcers, and prescribe Diabetic Shoes for you.
Why do I need Diabetic Shoes?
Diabetic Shoes are covered by almost all insurance companies and they:
- are light-weight, requiring less energy for walking
- promote healthy circulation, which is so important for healing and preventing wounds
- have more depth, so the extra room allows for any foot changes that occur (calluses, hammertoes etc.)
- are more comfortable to wear, enabling diabetics to be more active and engage in healthy exercise
But are Diabetic Shoes Attractive?
Have a look for yourself! We’ve had patients without diabetes purchase Diabetic Shoes just because they are so modern and fashionable. Here are two samples of women’s shoes and two samples of men’s shoes made by Anodyne:
