Diabetic Shoes and Supplies
Diabetic Shoes
Diabetes affects approximately 16 million Americans. Of these, 25% will develop foot problems related to the disease. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and neuropathy (loss of feeling). Diabetics suffering from neuropathy can develop minor cuts, scrapes, blisters, or pressure sores that they may not be aware of due to the insensitivity. If these minor injuries are left untreated, complications may result and lead to ulceration and possibly amputation. Proper footwear is essential to preventing these complications.Park Home Medical Equipment is a provider of diabetic shoes. Our certified fitters will properly measure and fit your new shoes and inserts. The shoes are designed specifically for patients with diabetes with a wide and high toe box for plenty of room for the toes, firm heel counters, rocker bottom, and fewer seams. Park Home Medical also provides the inserts for the diabetic shoes. The inserts are heat molded specifically for your individual foot. We also carry diabetic socks designed with specific materials with the diabetic needs in mind.
