Q: What are diabetic shoes?

Diabetic shoes are specially designed footwearcrafted to protect diabetics from foot injuries and complications. As diabetic neuropathy causes pain, tingling, and/or numbness, diabetic shoes can help support your feet while managing foot issues from diabetes.

Q: What do diabetic shoes look like?

Diabetic shoes can come in a variety of designs and silhouettes, with many featuring an Oxford shoe design or a design akin to athletic shoes. Most diabetic shoes also share key features, including seamless interiors, a wide toe box, extra depth and volume, and adjustable closures.

Q: Should diabetics always wear socks with shoes?

Socks are essential for diabetics when wearing shoes, as they reduce friction – thereby decreasing the risk for sores and blisters – by creating a barrier between your feet and your shoes. Furthermore, socks help absorb moisture, keeping your feet dry and less prone to infections.

Foot problems are a common issue among diabetics. High blood sugar can damage the nerves and blood vessels in the feet, causing nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy), which can prompt numbness, tingling, pain, or loss of feeling in the feet. Thick and yellow toenails, dry and cracked skin, swelling, and sores that don’t heal are also common symptoms of diabetic feet.

Unlike most regular shoes, diabetic shoes are specifically constructed with wide toe boxes to give your feet ample room, especially when suffering from swelling. Diabetic shoes also feature breathable materials – such as leather, suede, or canvas – as other materials may cause excessive swelling and lead to fungal infections. They also have sufficient cushioning while offering arch and heel support to help alleviate any soreness in your feet.
