We do have footwear for diabetic feet! Over 50 syles of Dr Comfort diabetic shoes are available for you to choose from. These shoes are extra depth to accomodate the insert and make room for any swelling of the feet common to diabetics. Diabetic shoe inserts are formed with nonporous material to protect the feet from bacteria which could form and cause sores or ulcerations. Dr. Comfort diabetic shoes also offer a non skid sole that allows for stability and comfort.
Diabetic shoes require a personal fitting. These fittings will consist of an evaluation of your feet, measurements of your feet, and a foam impression fo your feet. All this will insure the correct size and fit for the diabetic feet. Our Patient Care Specialists’ are Certified Fitters of therapeutic shoes or in training for this designation. Their certification comes from the American Board of Pedorthics and Orthotics.
For those who qualify, Medicare will cover one pair of diabetic shoes and three pair of inserts every year at little or no cost to the Medicare Beneficiary.
