Studies show that the well-fitted diabetic shoes with moldable insoles reduce the development of these ulcers and sores. By starting preventative measures early, it is possible to avoid later foot complications and will enable you to maintain an independent active lifestyle. This is why the Dr. Zen Shoes and Insoles are an excellent first step towards better foot health. Lightweight with a secure closure ensures the shoe stays on and protects the foot. Dr. Zen Therapeutic Shoes have the extra depth to accommodate a diabetic insole. The result is a very comfortable shoe, which is easy to put on. The design also helps in the prevention of skin breakdown and other foot problems. The leather material gives a very soft feel and touch while also delivering the shoe extra strength, and support. The heal and the toe are slightly curved forcing the foot to walk properly. The rocker bottom coupled with the ridged shank, aid in re-aligning ground forces and encourage a normal gait and aid in maintaining a neutral position. The bottom of the shoe has a rigid shank, with the help of the "rocker bottom" forces the foot to walk properly, with the proper weight and support on the bottom of the foot. The toe box is high and reinforced to help prevent injury to sensitive toe area. The inside of the shoe is finished without high, irritating seams. Seams that rub against the diabetic foot can cause irritation, causing blisters, calluses and infection. The balance of the shoe and construction materials make this a shoe that protects the foot and provides comfort. The biomechanical design redistributes the ground reaction forces. This shoe can comfortably be worn all day. The therapeutic shoe bill is very specific. Not all shoes fit the bill. The Dr. Zen shoe meets and exceeds the requirement of the therapeutic shoe bill providing not only an orthopedic shoe which can be used for a diabetic, but a diabetic shoe designed for the diabetic. The difference is noticed by the patients.
