Find out which shoes are right for diabetic feet in this article.

How Do I Choose Diabetic Shoes for My Feet?

For those with Diabetic Feet, there are several factors to consider when looking for diabetic shoes that understand your feet's pain.

First, consider the material, style, and fit of the shoes. The material or fabric should be stretchy and soft. Leather works well.

When it comes to style, shoes with laces are preferable to loafers and other shoes without support. Shoes with laces permit you to adjust their tightness.

To find the right fit, check that there is half a thumb’s width between your big toe and the shoe's tip. That way, your feet won't be squished and blood will flow properly. Ensure that the shoe's made of breathable materials.

Other important factors to consider include the shoe's tongue, throat, comfort, and arch support. Its tongue should be wide with plenty of padding between your foot and the laces.

A shoe's throat is the opening where your foot goes. It should be padded and not too high so that it doesn't rub against your ankles.

To ensure that your shoes are comfortable, simply try them on for a few hours and see how your feet respond to them. Arch support is important too because it can prevent the pain associated with the breaking down of tissues in your feet. Arch support also improves body alignment and evenly divides weight throughout the feet.
