Diabetic Shoes
Diabetic shoes are sometimes called therapeutic or orthopedic shoes. This type of orthopedic shoes are designed and offer an extra depth of 3/16" with a wide toe box and cushioning foot inserts to accommodate and protect delicate skin and soft tissues of the patient's feet. The whole purpose to get lightweight diabetic shoes is to save the patient's foot and minimize the potential risk to get an infection, and thus preventing an amputation of lower limb extremities.

Footwear Procedure Protocol
In order to provide a properly fitted therapeutic shoe, we compare measurements of the arch to the heel-to-toe lengths of the foot. It is very important that both measurements be taken and compared to find the right shoe size. Using only the heel-to-toe length may result in an improper fit.
We provide top quality diabetic footwear from manufacturers such as Aetrex, Apex, SPS, APIS and others, specializing in the fabrication of diabetic and therapeutic shoes and related products and supplies.
If eligible, insurance companies allow one pair of diabetic shoes per year.
