General Questions
What Are Diabetic Shoes?
Diabetic shoes—also known as therapeutic or extra-depth shoes—are specially designed footwear intended to reduce the risk of foot injuries for people living with diabetes. Diabetes can cause poor circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy), making the feet more vulnerable to cuts, pressure sores, ulcers, and infections that may go unnoticed until they become serious.
Diabetic shoes help protect the feet, promote healthy blood flow, and provide a safe, supportive environment that reduces friction and pressure points.
Key Features of Diabetic Shoes
- Seamless Interior: Minimizes rubbing and irritation, especially important for sensitive or numb feet.
- Extra Depth: Provides space for custom orthotics or to accommodate swelling and deformities like bunions or hammertoes.
- Wide Toe Box: Prevents crowding of the toes and reduces pressure on vulnerable areas.
- Removable Insoles: Allows for personalized support or diabetic inserts as prescribed.
- Cushioned Sole: Helps absorb impact and reduce stress on joints, heels, and arches.
- Breathable Materials: Keeps feet dry and cool to prevent skin breakdown.
- Non-Slip Outsoles: Offers traction and stability to help prevent slips and falls.
Who Should Wear Diabetic Shoes?
Diabetic footwear is recommended for individuals who:
- Have been diagnosed with diabetes
- Experience neuropathy, poor circulation, or foot deformities
- Have a history of foot ulcers or amputations
- Wear orthotics or AFO braces
- Are at high risk for developing foot wounds or infections

Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how the body turns food into energy. In people with diabetes, the body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use insulin as well as it should. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body get glucose from food into cells for energy. Without enough insulin or cells not being able to use insulin, too much blood sugar stays in the blood. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, like heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
- Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body's immune system attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas, where insulin is made. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, but it can develop at any age.
- Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes. It develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin and sugar builds up in the blood. Type 2 diabetes is often preventable with lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating healthy food, and being active. However, it can also develop in people who are at a healthy weight and have a family history of diabetes.
Causes
Here are some of the factors that can increase your risk of developing diabetes:
- Age: Your risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases as you get older.
- Family history: If you have a family history of diabetes, you are more likely to develop the condition.
- Weight: Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
- Physical activity: People who are physically inactive are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
- Race/ethnicity: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than Caucasian Americans.
- Certain medications: Some medications, such as steroids, can increase your risk of developing diabetes.
- Certain medical conditions: Some medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can increase your risk of developing diabetes.
- Being pregnant: Women who have gestational diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy) are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
- Having a history of heart disease or stroke: People with heart disease or stroke are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- Having high blood pressure: People with high blood pressure are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- Having high cholesterol: People with high cholesterol are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
If you have any of the risk factors for diabetes, it is important to talk to your doctor about getting tested. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious health problems.
Treatments
There is no cure for diabetes, but it can be managed with proper treatment. The type of treatment needed depends on the type of diabetes an individual has.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, so there is no way to prevent it. However, there are ways to manage it. People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin injections every day. They also need to monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and make sure to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
Type 2 diabetes can often be prevented by making lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. However, if you already have type 2 diabetes, lifestyle changes may not be enough to control your blood sugar levels. In this case, you may need to take medication or insulin injections.
Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy. It usually goes away after the baby is born, but it can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. If you have gestational diabetes, your doctor will likely recommend that you make lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. In some cases, you may also need to take medication.
No matter what the type of diabetes is, it is important to work with a doctor to create an individualized treatment plan. Here are some of the things to help manage diabetes:
- Eat a healthy diet: This means eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It also means limiting processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.
- Get regular exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
- Maintain a healthy weight: If overweight or obese, losing even a small amount of weight can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes complications.
- Monitor your blood sugar levels: This will help to keep blood sugar levels in a healthy range.
- Take medication as prescribed: If taking medication, it is important to take it as prescribed by the doctor.
- See doctor regularly: This will allow the doctor to monitor progress and make sure that the treatment plan is working.
Shoe Accommodations
- Light Weight Outsole: All day comfort, increased durability
- Padded Collar: Prevent possible irritation where the material meets the ankle.
- Padded Tongue: Prevents foot slippage and ensures proper fit.
- Lining: We've designed all of our diabetic shoes with the absolute minimum number of seams. By avoiding excess seams, it lower the risk of possible irritation and complication.
- No Metal: Metal can often irritate and damage the skin, and in rare cases, sewing needles and staples may accidentally be left in shoes and, in turn, cause serious damage. Recognizing this potential hazard, we've circumvented any such exposure by eliminating absolutely all metal components from our shoes. In addition, every pair of shoes is run through a metal detector prior to shipping.
- Antimicrobial Treatment: In order to ensure our shoes are 100% hygienic, we spray the inside of every pair with our proprietary, Anti-microbial Protectant before shipping. This 100% natural, anti-fungal and anti-microbial process naturally reduces 99.9% of germ, virus, and bacteria exposure.
- Extra Depth: Accommodates for swelling, and placement of orthotic/insert (5/16 in extra depth)
- Protective Toe Box: Protects toes
- Shank: Adds extra support to arch area of shoe
- Heel Counter: Provides maximum foot support by cradling the heel to reduce over-pronation and prevent heel slippage
If you are unsure about whether or not your symptoms require medical attention, please consult your foot doctor.

What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to nerve damage, most commonly affecting the feet and legs. Often a complication of diabetes, it can also result from chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases, infections, or injuries. Peripheral neuropathy—the most common type—impacts the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, especially those responsible for touch, pain, and temperature sensation in the limbs.
Common Symptoms of Neuropathy
Neuropathy symptoms can vary but often include:
- Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation
- Burning or sharp pain in the feet or hands
- Numbness or reduced ability to feel temperature or pressure
- Muscle weakness or instability
- Sensitivity to touch (even light fabric may feel painful)
These symptoms can worsen over time and increase the risk of foot injuries, infections, or even amputation if left unmanaged—especially for people with diabetes.
Why Proper Foot Care Matters
People living with neuropathy must take extra precautions with foot care. Even a small blister or pressure sore can go unnoticed due to reduced sensation, leading to serious complications. That’s why protective footwear, regular inspections, and pressure relief are essential parts of managing neuropathy.
How Dahl Medical Supply Can Help
At Dahl Medical Supply, we understand the challenges neuropathy presents—and we’re here to help you stay safe, mobile, and independent.
We offer:

Understanding Bunions
What Are Bunions?
A bunion (medical term: hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, where it meets the foot. It occurs when the bones in the front part of your foot shift out of place, causing the big toe to lean toward the second toe. This misalignment can create pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking—especially in tight or unsupportive shoes.
Bunions can develop gradually and are often worsened by footwear, genetics, arthritis, or long-standing foot stress.
Common Symptoms of Bunions
- A visible bump on the side of the foot near the big toe joint
- Swelling, redness, or soreness around the joint
- Pain when walking or wearing shoes
- Restricted movement of the big toe
- Development of calluses or corns due to friction
Left untreated, bunions can lead to more severe issues, including chronic pain, toe deformities, or difficulty finding comfortable footwear.
How to Manage Bunions Without Surgery
While severe bunions may require surgical correction, many people can find significant relief through non-invasive support options, especially with the right footwear.
At Dahl Medical Supply, we offer:
- Orthopedic shoes with wide toe boxes to reduce pressure and allow naturaltoe alignment
- Diabetic and therapeutic footwear designed with extra depth and soft interiors to minimize friction
- Custom and pre-fabricated orthotics that offload pressure from the bunion joint
- Stretchable upper materials to accommodate foot deformities without causing irritation
- Compression socks and sleeves that can reduce inflammation and promote circulation
Our trained staff can help you find the perfect fit, ensuring that your footwear supports both comfort and foot health.

What Are Hammertoes?
Understanding Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a common foot deformity where one or more of the smaller toes bend downward at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. It typically affects the second, third, or fourth toe and can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty finding shoes that fit properly.
This condition may be flexible at first—meaning you can still move the toe—but over time, it can become rigid and more difficult to treat without medical intervention.
Causes of Hammertoes
Hammertoes often develop due to:
- Improper footwear (tight shoes or high heels)
- Muscle imbalances
- Arthritis or joint inflammation
- Genetic predisposition
- Previous toe injuries
The condition is especially common in individuals with bunions, flat feet, or neuromuscular issues, and is more likely to progress if not managed early.
Symptoms of Hammertoes
- Toe(s) bent in a downward position at the middle joint
- Pain or pressure when wearing shoes
- Corns or calluses from friction
- Swelling or redness at the joint
- Restricted toe movement (especially in later stages)

What Are Claw Toes?
Understanding Claw Toes
Claw toe is a foot condition where the toe bends into an abnormal claw-like shape, often affecting the second, third, or fourth toes. This deformity causes the toes to curl downward at the middle and end joints, making it difficult or painful to walk, wear shoes, or maintain balance.
Claw toes can be flexible (early stage) or become rigid over time. Without proper support or treatment, the condition can worsen and lead to corns, calluses, and open sores, especially in individuals with diabetes or neuropathy.
What Causes Claw Toes?
Claw toes can develop due to:
- Nerve damage (especially from diabetes or neurological disorders)
- Imbalance in foot muscles or tendons
- Wearing tight or narrow shoes
- Trauma or injury to the foot
- Arthritis or inflammation
- Genetic predisposition
The condition is often linked to underlying medical issues like neuropathy, making early intervention essential for long-term foot health.
Signs and Symptoms
- Toes bent downward at the middle and end joints
- Pain or pressure when walking or wearing shoes
- Corns or calluses on the tops or tips of toes
- Redness, swelling, or skin irritation
- Limited flexibility in the toes
At Dahl Medical Supply, we offer non-surgical, comfort-focused solutions to help manage and relieve the symptoms of claw toes. Our therapeutic footwear and accessories are carefully chosen to support proper toe alignment, relieve pressure points, and improve mobility.
We provide:

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes—becomes inflamed or overstretched.

- Runners or active individuals
- Those with flat feet or high arches
- Individuals wearing unsupportive footwear

What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It affects people of all ages but is especially common among older adults. The most common types include osteoarthritis (caused by wear and tear over time) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition).
Arthritis often impacts the:
- Knees
- Hips
- Hands
- Feet
- Ankles
- Spine
Over time, arthritis can limit daily movement, making simple tasks like walking, dressing, or standing for long periods painful or difficult.
Common Arthritis Symptoms

- Difficulty walking or standing for long period

What Is Charcot Deformity?
Charcot foot, also known as Charcot neuroarthropathy, is a serious condition that causes the bones in the foot to weaken and break, often without the person realizing it. Over time, the affected joints collapse, leading to a foot deformity that can impair balance, mobility, and quality of life.
Charcot deformity most commonly affects people with diabetes and severe peripheral neuropathy, where the loss of sensation prevents early detection of fractures or joint damage.
Common Signs of Charcot Foot
- Warmth or redness in the affected foot
- Swelling, often mistaken for infection or injury
- Changes in foot shape (arched foot collapsing, rocker-bottom deformity)
- Instability or difficulty walking
- Wounds or ulcers on the foot due to pressure points from deformity
- Charcot foot requires early diagnosis and intervention. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic ulceration, infection, or even amputation.
