Diabetic Shoes & Feet

Feet are the most neglected part of our body both when it comes to health and cosmesis.

While the feet may not appear to be attractive they are very important part of our body and play a vital role in our lifestyle. It is estimated that at least 75% of the population will have a foot problem at some point in their lives.

What may be surprising to many people is that the two feet in more than 25% are never identical. Most people go to a shoe store and always think of buying shoes of a similar size. Well, many individuals wear single shoes that are of a different size.

The types of foot problems that are very common in our society include congenital disorders like club feet, cerebral palsy, diabetes, circulatory problems, flat or high arches, etc. Another major cause of foot problems is wearing of tight or misfitting shoes, especially among women.

Wearing high heel shoes for prolonged periods can often lead to formation of bunions, hammer toes, corns, calluses, ingrown toe nails and heel.
