Choosing the right pair of shoes is an important job for a diabetic. The good news is that there are several quality brands available to you. The bad news is that the process of choosing among them can be tedious and difficult. You should feel free to ask your doctor or podiatrist for recommendations. She may be able to direct you to a certain brand based on your foot shape or past history of foot injuries, ulcers and deformity. In general, look for a shoe with a wide and deep toe box. This will ensure that the shoes do not pinch or put unnecessary pressure on your toes. Shoes that fasten with Velcro make it easier for you to adjust the size of your shoe in order to accommodate changes in your foot size due to swelling, etc. You will also want to look for shoes that can accommodate diabetic insoles or socks.
Here are a few reliable brands to consider.
Aetrex. Aetrex shoes are extremely lightweight but also provide the padding necessary to protect your feet against injury. The shoes are designed with three removable insoles, which make it easy to adjust the shoe as the foot swells and changes shape. In particular, check out the Aetrex Ambulator.
Brooks. Brooks is known for making first rate athletic, walking and running shoes. They are especially good for diabetics who are active and like to walk or jog regularly. Brooks shoes have extra cushioning and a high-density rubber sole that make them particularly good shock absorbers.
Mt.Emey. If your feet are particularly wide, or if you have experienced chronic problems with swelling, then Mt. Emey shoes might be a good choice for you. These shoes go up to 4E, 6E and 9E for men and 3E, 5E and 7E for women.
Orthofeet. Orthofeet is a company that only makes shoes for diabetics. They have several different styles including leather shoes, lace-ups, Velcro shoes and even some stylish Mary Janes. Their merchandise is updated on a yearly basis. Their wide selection is a nice change from the usually limited choice of styles available to diabetics.
New Balance. New Balance shoes tend to have seamless interiors, which help to prevent pressure points or hot spots from forming on the foot. Look for New Balance shoes with full grain leather uppers, which promote airflow throughout the shoes and keep the feet cool and dry. New Balance makes a few shoes specific to diabetics, but their regular walking shoes may be sufficient for certain low-risk patients.
