Diabetes is a disease that strikes the lower extremity and the feet. This can result in pain, burning sensation, poor balance, and muscle atrophy. Finding the correct sneakers to wear for a Diabetic can be difficult. However, there are many options for the Diabetic who wants to wear sneakers. What are some of the best out there? Before we go further, understand that Medicare will cover for a Diabetic to have one pair of shoes or SNEAKERS a year, other insurances as well. So check with your insurance coverage before spending money on diabetic sneakers or shoes. Most Podiatrists will have multiple brands available in their office.
If you are a well controlled diabetic and vigilant most likely you can wear any type of sneaker and not have to resort to wearing Diabetic sneakers or shoes. But if you are looking for some Diabetic Sneakers, here a couple brands and models I like:
Orthofeet 651 Men’s Comfort Diabetic Extra Depth Sneaker– This shoe features orthotic support, seamless lining, as well as extra room.
New Balance MW577 Walking shoe– This sneaker is from New Balance so it can fit to the actual width of your foot as well as the size. It is ergo dynamically designed to give you a great deal of comfort.
Orthofeet 640 Men’s Comfort Diabetic Extra Depth Sneaker and Athletic Shoe Leather Lace– These are similar to the design of the 651 only a bit more fashionable.
