Diabetic Shoes & Orthopaedic Footwear (Extra Depth, Wide Fit)

Who benefits from diabetic orthopaedic footwear

• Neuropathy / reduced sensation: cushioned, seam-free interiors help minimise rubbing.
  
• Swelling / oedema: extra-depth uppers and wide/6E fittings reduce pressure points.
  
• Bunions, hammer toes, callus: roomy toe boxes prevent toe rub.
  
• Custom orthotics or AFOs: removable footbeds and wide openings make fitting easier.
  

Key features to look for

• Extra depth & removable insoles – space for orthotics and natural toe splay.
  
• Stretch or adjustable uppers – comfort through daily swelling changes.
  
• Supportive heel counter & wide base – stability for safer steps.
  
• Slip-resistant outsole – confidence on smooth or wet floors.
  
• Velcro closures – quick, secure fastening for arthritic hands.
  

How to choose your size & width (at home)

1. Measure late afternoon (feet are largest).
   
2. Trace foot length & width; compare with our size chart.
   
3. Between sizes? Choose the wider option and fine-tune using the removable insole.
   
4. Wearing orthotics/AFO? Pick extra-depth models and remove the top insole first.
   

Care & wear tips

• Break-in gradually: 1–2 hours on day one, then build up.
  
• Check skin daily: especially toes, heels and pressure spots.
  
• Socks matter: choose seamless, moisture-wicking diabetic socks.
  
• Rotate pairs: allow shoes to dry fully between wears.
