Custom Shoes for Diabetic People

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) represents a group of metabolic diseases known to increase glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia) due to a deficiency in insulin production. If the condition is controlled, it offers little risk to the patients. On the contrary, careless diabetes can damage the cardiovascular, renal, and cerebral systems.

The diabetic foot, the appearance of lesions and ulcers in the foot of a diabetic person, is one of the most severe complications of this disease. A condition called peripheral neuropathy causes the loss of sensitivity in the region, increasing the frequency of lesions and ulcers.

  Wound worsening and difficulty healing (common in diabetic people) can lead to amputation. These complications compromise the quality of life and increase the mortality rate.

• Decreased sensation in the feet;
• “pinpricks” sensation;
• Electric shocks sensation;
• Burns;
• Numbness of the feet (tingling sensation);
• Cold feet.

Foot problems caused by tight shoes

Do you sometimes feel pain in your feet? Do your feet have small bruises? Know that these could be some signs that your shoes are too tight. When footwear presses against the skin and bones, it can cause injuries, and pathologies  such as:

• Blisters;
• Calluses;
• Claw and hammer toes;
• Bunions;
• Pain in the arch.

Tight shoes can be very dangerous for those with diabetes! The diabetic foot has decreased sensitivity, and a tight shoe can cause several serious problems.

Feet Without Pain’s custom-made shoes and orthopedic insoles eliminate the pain and discomfort caused by conventional shoes. Ideally, custom-made shoes should be used with a custom-made insole that redistributes pressure on your feet’s soles and aligns the joints to eliminate pain caused by abnormalities.
