[Diabetes-talk] Shoes and Socks

[dmgina]

Oh you wear the same socks I do
How cool is that.
We never talked about that.
did you get them from wall mart as well?
the last pair of shoes you got, you said were hard to get used to, did they 
finally work out for you?

>  >>
>  >>

>  >> 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

>  >> with holes or mended areas that can irritate skin.
