[Diabetes-talk] Shoes and Socks

[dmgina]

>From my checking account.
the socks are I think it was four pairs for twelve dollars on wall mart 
site.
Can't beet that.
I just love them.
I got the shorter pair and I love that my feet stay dry.
Even in the summer.
Even when I wear dresses I wear the socks.
I wash them in a laundry bag, they are holding up well.
I have to dry them a couple of times to get them dry all the way.
But that isn't a problem for me.
since I have my own washer and dryer.
If you can get them, I know you will like them.
the shoes I wear are earth.
and I try to get specials on them.
It lifts my toes up a small bit and this helps.
Just some thoughts.

>> Proper footwear is especially critical to prevention of diabetic foot
>> problems.  Here are some tips on selecting the safest shoes and socks:
>>
>>
>>
>> .              Shoe fit - select shoes that fit from day one; don't 
>> expect
>> them to "stretch." There should be plenty of room for toes.  Buy shoes 
>> late
>> in the day, when your feet enlarge somewhat.
>>
>>
>>
>> .              Shoe materials - avoid plastic and vinyl ("man-made") shoe
>> materials.  Select leather shoes or the modern running or walking shoes.
>> Shoe materials must "breathe" to ventilate your feet.
>>
>>
>>
>> .              Shoe style - never wear shoes with open toes or heels. 
>> Don't
>> wear sandals, especially those with thongs between the toes.
>>
>>
>>
>> .              Shoe Inspection - Make sure shoes have no torn linings. 
>> Your
>> doctor or podiatrist should inspect new shoes to confirm proper fit.
>>
>>
>>
>> .              Limit shoe wearing - don't wear shoes more than five hours 
>> at
>> a time, then change to another pair.
>>
>>
>>
>> .              Hosiery - always wear socks or stockings.  Avoid socks 
>> with
>> seams, or those made of all-synthetic materials.  Cotton is best.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> You can wear wool socks in winter if they are non-irritating.  Change 
>> socks
>> daily, and inspect them before and after wearing them.  Don't wear any 
>> socks
>> with holes or mended areas that can irritate skin.
