The goal is to help prevent ulcers, reduce discomfort, and keep you moving safely and comfortably in your daily life.
The Diabetic Shoe Program is designed to help eligible people protect their feet through specially fitted therapeutic footwear that reduces friction, pressure, and other risk factors that contribute to diabetic foot injuries.
