Lightweight and Shock-Absorbing: The shoes should be made of lightweight, shock-absorbing materials to improve comfort and safety. Antimicrobial Properties: Diabetic shoes often have antimicrobial properties to reduce the risk of infection, which is particularly important for patients with foot ulcers or those who are prone to infections. Toe Protection: Diabetic shoes are usually designed to cover the toes to protect them from injury. Breathability: The upper material of the shoe should be breathable to reduce sweating and the risk of infection. Ease of Wear and Removal: Considering that people with diabetes may have reduced finger flexibility, diabetic shoes should be designed to be easy to put on and take off, such as using Velcro or elastic laces.
