If you're living with diabetes we know that finding that perfect pair of comfortable shoes can be a bit of a challenge. And if you're nodding right now, trust us, you're not on this journey alone. At Pavers, we get how essential it is to pamper your feet, especially when you're managing diabetes. Regularly checking your feet for any signs of wear and tear, like redness or blisters, is a must, but that doesn’t mean your toes don’t deserve a treat too. It’s important to find shoes that are both comfortable and stylish.
Of course, we love chatting about all things shoes, but it’s essential to remember we’re not medical pros. If foot health is a concern, it's always best to have a chat with a medical expert.
Ready to dive in? Let's talk about those key features you'll want in your next pair.
Adjustability Matters
When it comes to daily comfort, a snug and supportive fit is a must-have. The ability to adjust your shoes to the perfect fit can make all the difference, ensuring your feet stay in place without any unwanted movement. After all, we don’t want anything causing our feet unnecessary stress. That’s why our collection boasts a variety of fully adjustable shoes and slippers, catering to all shapes and sizes.
Your feet deserve the best, and we're here to help make sure they get just that.
Insoles & Arch Support
When you're living with diabetes, what's inside your shoes matters just as much as the outside. Look for a substantial insole, that offers both cushion and support. A thickly padded insole is really important, as it will cushion your feet with every step.
If you’re stepping and standing throughout the day, consider shoes with memory foam insoles. They not only shape to your unique foot contours but also help prevent potential blisters. For the diabetic foot, it's not just about style, but the loving embrace of a well-cushioned shoe. After all, your feet deserve the very best!

Finding the Right Material
When it comes to footwear, for those with diabetes, the fabric really does matter. Shoes with flexible uppers, especially those crafted in soft leather or canvas, are your best friend- less rubbing, more comfort! Yet, it's equally crucial to have a back that stands its ground, ensuring our heels get the support they deserve.
Why not cast an eye over these slip-on sandals? Marrying soft leather uppers with elastic straps for extra flex, these beauties also boast cushioned leather insoles and that desired wide fit.
Savvy Shoe Shopping: Tips and Tricks for Diabetic Feet
When you're on the lookout for that perfect pair of shoes for diabetic feet, a few pointers can really make all the difference.
One golden rule? Try on shoes during the afternoon or evening. Why, you ask? Our feet have a habit of swelling as the day goes on. A snug fit in the morning might feel a touch too tight by dusk.
Speaking of fit, let's chat socks. When trying on new shoes, slip on the socks you'd typically wear with them. Sounds like common sense, but you'd be surprised how a thicker sock can change a shoe's fit. Opt for natural fibres like cotton or bamboo over synthetics; they're breathable wonders that let your feet breathe a sigh of relief!
As a final point, if you find it especially hard to find perfectly fitting shoes, it may be worth considering insoles. These can provide extra padding and cushioning, which will allow your foot to fit snugly inside the shoe, in turn preventing blisters and cuts.
