Women's Walking Shoes For Diabetic Friendly

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.

Q: What shoes do podiatrists recommend for walking?

Podiatrists recommend walking shoes that offer arch support, cushioning, and a spacious toe box. Ideally, the most comfortable shoes you’ll find are ones that are personally fitted to your feet, so it’s strongly encouraged to consult with your podiatrist to better understand your foot type.

Q: Are sneakers suitable for walking?

In general, most sneakers are good for walking, especially orthopedic sneakers, as these are specifically engineered to support your feet. It’s important to note that not all sneakers may be suitable for walking, particularly fashion sneakers that prioritize aesthetic design over functionality.

Q: What makes a shoe a walking shoe?

Walking shoes are characterized by key features that aim to support your steps. These features include flexibility, cushioning, breathability, and shock absorption. Additionally, walking shoes are made to support the natural motion of walking, helping you maintain balance and stability with your strides.

Q: Are running shoes good for walking?

Yes. Running shoes are built to support your feet, offering cushioning, shock absorption, and flexibility. Be sure to pick a pair that suits your needs, as some high-performance running shoes may have excessive cushioning that can create instability while walking.

Women's Walking Shoes For Diabetic Friendly that help alleviate pain while delivering style and comfort. The Walking Company. The Authority on Comfort.

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.

Sneakers are not only a versatile type of shoe, but they also offer functional support for your day-to-day activities. Some of the best shoes for walking and standing all day are engineered with good cushioning to ensure impact absorption for when you’re on your feet for long periods of time. Look for something like the ABEO MXV Shift, which features a cushioned deep heel cup that absorbs shock when you’re taking daily walks or are even out traveling.

ABEO shoes are engineered to provide your feet with innovative comfort built to last. Our comfortable shoes offer all-day comfort thanks to BIOsystem® Orthotic Technology that delivers the perfect balance of anatomical support, responsive cushioning, and balanced alignment. Besides being crafted for comfort and support, our shoes also come in a wide variety of styles and silhouettes, ensuring you always have the right pair of shoes for every occasion and terrain.

ABEO shoes are built to provide your feet with superior arch and heel support, ensuring proper weight distribution and balance when walking. More than just your typical pair of orthopedic shoes, we provide footwear that looks good while feeling good all day long.

Other innovative features and benefits of ABEO shoes include:

Ergonomic cushioned soles soften steps to help foot and heel pain.
Deep heel cup helps stabilize feet and align the body to minimize fatigue.
Wider fit offers more room for wide or swollen feet.
Weight balancing arch support and cushioned heel cup reduce shock to help relieve plantar fasciitis.
Metatarsal footbed option has built-in metatarsal pad to help with forefoot pain.
Spacious toe box and added depth helps reduce pressure.
