Diabetic Footwear – Progaiit

In advanced diabetics, the patient suffers from “diabetic neuropathy”. The foot loses sensation to pain. The patient may not even be aware of minor injuries to the foot which could develop into an ulcer and eventually lead to an amputation. Also, muscle weakness leads to a faulty gait pattern.

 

Features of the ideal footwear recommended for diabetic patients:

• Wide toe box for free movement of toes
• Strong heel counter for stability in the heel region
• Tough and light outer soles to limit motion of painful joints
• Hook and loop closures help adjust deformities
• Well padded inner surface protects foot from injury
• Extra depth footwear accommodates 9mm insoles

Progaiit Diabetic Footwear name is available in 2 models.

• Commander for men – sizes 6 to 11
