Shoes For Diabetics

Diabetics are quite prone to suffering from various foot diseases and wearing the right type of shoes is extremely important for them, to be able to control the skin breakdown and keep their feet safe & healthy.

Firstly, I would like to discuss some tips to keep your feet clean and healthy:

* Remember that wearing tight hard shoes can be a big problem as they might create foot ulcers within a couple of hours, which is not only painful but also unhealthy.

* Diabetics need to keep their feet dry and clean because extra moisture can lead to serious problems.

* Nails should always be trimmed to prevent any rubbing or scratching and feet must be protected from extreme weather conditions.

* Blood circulation should be maximum, so there is no accumulation of blood near your joints.

Styles that are most suitable for diabetics are slip-ons, close slip-ons and sandals, as they help in keeping the feet exposed to air. Some designs that are worth mentioning are Classic-Slip-on by VANS, available in various upper colours and designs. Sparks-Soul Circus by Skechers, with foam rubber sole unit and moulded design for added comfort. These sandals offer adjustable buckle fastening on the textile foot strap for ease of wear.
