What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which there is too much sugar, also known as glucose, in the blood. This gives rise to the name ”diabetes”. Diabetes can have major consequences for the body and certainly for the feet. It is of great importance that people with diabetes wear good footwear and treat their feet with great care. This to prevent wounds. With these diabetes work shoes you are taking a step in the right direction! In this article ProtectXXL tells you all about wearing the right work shoes in relation to diabetes.
Diabetes foot
A quarter of the people who live with diabetes sooner or later get foot problems. Foot problems often occur in people who have had diabetes for a longer period of time. Causes that can arise in the long term are for example the damage to the nerves, this is also called neuropathy. The result can be that the feeling in the feet decreases or even disappears. Because of a diminished feeling in the feet, wounds can go unnoticed, these often harmless looking wounds can develop into serious wounds and/or calluses. So very annoying!
Diabetes safety shoes
The ELTEN TRIBUTE BLACK LOW ESD S2 is among other things made of a top material without seams. This makes these work shoes fit better with the natural shape of the foot. Because the shoe has no seams on the inside, the risk of wounds decreases. Stitching seams on the inside of the shoe often cause pressure points, especially when the foot is fairly wide. Pressure points due to seams can cause wounds in the long run and as you may know this can cause problems. A wound on the foot of a diabetic patient takes longer to heal than a foot of someone without diabetes. This is because the vessels are often worse with diabetes. By wearing this shoe you reduce the risk of wounds considerably. Besides the seamless shaft of the shoe, this shoe is also very suitable for people with a leather allergy. The shoe has a top material of Cordura, a very strong material. The breathable textile inner lining ensures that you sweat less. Furthermore, this shoe has a TPU/PU running sole. The running sole ensures that you experience enough cushioning, but also offers a high form of slip resistance.
