We can now see that the construction and design of shoes for diabetics offer some very attractive advantages.
In addition to providing pain relief and enhanced levels of comfort, diabetic footwear can also help do the following:

Provide better motion control
Promote circulation
Prevent skin breakdown
Prevent the formation of calluses
Reduce the occurrence of foot problems in high-pressure areas of the foot.
Yet another benefit that is also worth noting is that diabetic shoes are often covered by Medicare, under the Medicare Therapeutic Shoe Bill enacted in Congress back in 1993, and by other insurance programs.

Why can’t I just wear comfortable, regular shoes if I have diabetic neuropathy or other foot problems related to diabetes?

The simple answer to this question is another question: why take that risk? Many of the foot problems caused by diabetes can turn into more serious health complications, but they can also be prevented. It is just common sense to take measures that promote better foot health and overall health, i.e., wearing the right footwear. This is especially true when this footwear is often covered by insurance.
