Diabetes
It is not the disease itself that makes professional shoe fitting so important, it’s the loss of protective sensation that often gets people with diabetes in trouble.
80% of all below knee amputations in this country are performed on people with diabetes whose problem started with a foot ulcer most commonly caused by improper footwear.
If you have no sensation, profound foot deformities, callouses, or a history of ulcers, toe or forefoot amputations, you should be fitted with custom molded shoes with rigid rocker bottom soles.
If one of your feet is completely collapsed, or if you’ve had an amputation of the forefoot, high top boots would be advised, and in some instances, a brace boot would be prescribed.
