How to Care for Diabetic Footwear

Shoe & Insert Break-In Period 

• Wear your new diabetic footwear and inserts for 1-2 hours in your home, preferably on carpeted surfaces. 

• Inspect your feet for any redness. 

• If redness persists, consult your shoe fitting and/or health care professional. 

• If no redness appears, wear your shoes around your home for one to two days while periodically checking your feet for redness or uncomfortable rubbing. 

• If they are comfortable, they are ready to be worn outside! 

Cleaning & Polishing Leather Shoes

• First, remove any dust or dirt with a damp cloth or soft brush.
