Shoes for diabetics could work??

[Guest guest]

I was just speaking with my parents. They were at a new podiatrist today.

He sells diabetic shoes. I asked them what that meant. They are not custom

but can have custom insoles. But the main idea with the shoes is a larger

toe box so as not to get sores when and if your toes rub the insides. I have

heard people with CMT complain about this issue with hammer toes and loss of

sensitivity and was wondering if others knew about these diabetic shoes and

if that could be an answer to the problem of rubbing and tight toe area.

Hello,

I got custom shoes made and I walk better with them . My ankles does not

twist. I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disese since birth. My insurance paid for

them because they are over $1,000 dollars to get on ur own. Do any one else

have custom shoes?
