Diabetic Shoes & Insoles
Supportive Solutions for Foot and Ankle Health
Protecting Diabetic Feet and Promoting Circulation
People with diabetes face a high risk of developing severe foot problems due to impaired nerve function (neuropathy) and poor blood circulation. Neuropathy can cause you to lose feeling, making minor cuts or injuries go unnoticed. Poor circulation then slows healing, allowing untreated issues to quickly compound into dangerous infections, often leading to hospitalization or amputation. Wearing specially designed diabetic shoes and insoles is a crucial preventative measure to protect the feet and mitigate this risk.
The diabetic foot doctors at Missouri Foot & Ankle prescribe specialized footwear to protect your feet, reduce skin breakdown, and promote overall health. Diabetic shoes are lightweight, flexible, and feature a deep toe box and shock-absorbing sole to relieve pressure. Insoles are designed to provide arch support, reduce pressure on high-risk areas, and offer cushioning for relief from diabetic foot pain.
Wearing these special shoes and insoles is highly effective in preventing common complications, including: Ulcers, sores, and blisters; Infections and skin breakdown; Hammertoe; and other problems caused by high-pressure areas. Our experienced podiatrists can help you choose the right footwear—including shoes with laces for adjustable swelling accommodation and a solid back for support.
