What Are Diabetic Footwear?

We at BIOFOOT in Dubai has a range of diabetic shoes for diabetic patients of any stage. Our shoes have been designed using the latest CAD CAM technology to fit perfectly in the foot of the patients giving more comfort and satisfaction.

History

Diabetic shoes became popular in the early 1990s when Medicare began covering them for patients. At the beginning of diabetic shoes, they were unaffordable to a majority of patients. Now that the demand has gone up, the price has gone down and even some department stores in retirement areas offer diabetic shoes with the trainings to fit them.

Function
