Shoes for people with diabetes

I purchased another pair of Crocs yesterday. They are the most comfortable shoes I own!

Manny…do we need to start worrying about a croc addiction?
Do all diabetics need to worry about shoes or just people with neuropathy? I am trying to get used to limiting carbs, but as a MAJOR shoe ho, please don’t tell me I have to totally let comfort (or worse, practicality,) outweigh fashion.

Crocs are the most comfortable things I’ve ever put on…
It really is like floating when walking! Buy only the real Crocs brand, though, the knockoffs are not the same (give blisters)…

I bought a pair of the Off Road Crocs a month ago with the adjustable Velcro strap I always walked out of the others. For work I wear Clarks - the privo models seem to be the most comfortable for me. I got a good deal on them so I bought a few that look like a dressier type sneaker and wear those too. Its like walking on air pillows. I also have a pair of new balance sneakers a podiatrist I know said those are the best to wear.

I find SAS lace up shoes to be wonderful. I also use special arch supports in them because, although they do come with arch support, my extremely high arches need more than that. SAS uses very soft leather, and there’s no stitching near the toes to rub.

I do wear sandals in the summer, but not flip-flops or thongs. Again…high arches…don’t even ask what I pay for a pair of sandals!

And I have water shoes for the beach.

Still looking for a nice pair of slip-on summer walking shoes that would look good with crop pants or shorts. The SAS look too orthopedic to wear in the summer.
