Do diabetic shoes really help?

[Guest guest]

I have heard people swear by them but have never worn a pair. My feet

bother me a lot and the shoelady wanted me to purchase a pair. They

cost more than I could afford today. She told me that the shoe must

be fitted and not to buy these without trying them on. I would not

buy my shoes any other way as regular shoes vary in size from one

brand to another. I do like the athletic shoes.

Since your feet bother you, I hope you are seeing a podiatrist. Mine

recommended diabetic shoes for me with special insoles that are

heated to form fit to the bottom of my feet. Unfortunately, they

only came in medium width and I have a narrow foot, so they were more

trouble than they were worth to wear comfortably.
