Diabetic Shoes and Foot Care: What to Check

For diabetic patients, shoes are not just comfort. They are part of prevention.

Look inside the shoe

Check for seams, worn areas, rough spots, and foreign objects before wearing shoes.

Watch the skin after wear

Red marks, blisters, calluses, or nail pressure can show that a shoe is not working for your foot.

Ask before trimming

If thick nails or calluses are part of the pressure problem, safer podiatry care may be needed.
