You may be unable to wear a store-bought shoe due to a variety of diabetes complications. Swelling, foot abnormalities such as Charcot deformity, and the necessity to wear an insole inside your shoe are examples of these. There are a few solutions for dealing with this.
Many persons with diabetes, including those with any of the aforementioned conditions, are eligible for diabetic shoes and insoles that are covered by Medicare and private insurance. Extra depth is added to these shoes to accommodate feet that are unable to fit correctly in a standard shoe.
If you can’t get your foot into a diabetic shoe, even with an extra-deep diabetic shoe, in these circumstances, a mold of your foot and ankle can be used to create a personalized shoe. Because the shoe is built specifically for you, it may be tailored to your foot’s exact needs.
DeNiel Foot and Ankle Center works with a variety of diabetic shoe brands to guarantee that we can accommodate a wide range of foot kinds and offer different color and styles. Dr. Ejodamen Shobowale is also one of Houston’s few podiatrists that analyzes patients for custom therapeutic shoes. Contact our Houston office if you’re having problems locating shoes that fit properly.
