Select shoes that are shaped for the human foot, preferably ones that lace up, have rounded toes, and soft leather uppers. Wear shoes that are of adequate length, width, and depth. Shoes should not compress the toes or foot. The uppers should be of soft leather, which forms to your feet and is breathable. The outer sole material should be resilient rather than hard and thin. Check that the ball of the foot rests in the widest part of the shoe. Wear new shoes around the house on carpeting for about an hour and then check for any hot spots or problem areas, a good retailer will accepts returns of shoes that are not scuffed. Replace your shoes regularly. Have at least two pairs of well-fitting shoes to alternate so that shoes can dry between wearings. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and help retain the original shape of the shoes, this will make them more comfortable the next time you wear them. Have your feet measured every time you purchase a pair of shoes. People prone to diabetes-related foot problems should not wear a new pair of shoes for more than two hours without checking their feet for pressure areas. Five hours should be the maximum length of wear for one pair of shoes. Date: 2003-1-28 |
