Why shoes for diabetics?
Diabetes can
cause two complications
Diabetic arteriopathy is a condition in which the blood vessels narrow, reducing blood flow to our arms and legs. This makes the skin fragile. Diabetic neuropathy causes a loss of sensitivity. As a result, we no longer feel minor pains or even a pebble in our shoe.
These two complications combined require patients to pay particular attention to their feet and footwear.
It is crucial to avoid wounds! A wound takes a long time to heal due to arterial disease. If it becomes infected, it can lead to amputation of part of the limb if it does not improve. The idea behind orthopaedic shoes for diabetics is simple: they are specially designed to protect the feet and prevent wounds.
Are you diabetic? Take care of your feet!
Diabetes often leads to amputations unrelated to accidents. When poorly treated or discovered late, diabetes can cause serious problems. «Diabetic foot» is one of the most concerning. In Switzerland, around 1,800 people lose this limb every year because of it. Our feet, although often forgotten or neglected, are the foundation of our ability to walk. It is therefore vital to examine your feet every day, consult experts regularly and wear special diabetic footwear. If you have diabetes, it is crucial to take good care of your feet. Daily checks, professional monitoring and suitable footwear are essential.
Taking care of your feet and reducing risks
People with diabetes live with constant hyperglycaemia. This damages blood vessels and nerves, making them vulnerable to various injuries such as cuts or friction, putting their health at risk. It is essential for them to inspect their feet daily, using a mirror if necessary. Gentle cleaning with warm water is recommended, as is thorough drying, especially between the toes, to prevent infections and sores. Using a moisturising cream is beneficial, but avoid applying it between the toes. Finally, it is recommended that a podiatrist or specialist nurse be consulted for nail care to avoid further injury.

Taking care of your feet
Choosing the right socks is crucial. Ask your

shoes designed to protect the feet. We recommend
especially IHLE diabetic socks.
