How Diabetes can Affect Your Feet
Up to 50% of people who have diabetes experience some other form of nerve pain. Many people who have diabetes experience pain and numbness in their feet, or even numbness in their feet.
There are a few ways in which your feet can be affected if you have diabetes.
- Mononeuropathy – Mononeuropathy or focal neuropathy. This condition usually affects a single nerve, which can be in the feet and cause severe pain.
- Peripheral Neuropathy – Peripheral neuropathy is more likely to affect individuals with diabetes. The condition can cause pain, burning sensations, or even complete numbness in the feet. You may lack a complete feeling and not feel hot and cold, which can be dangerous.
- Issues with Circulation – Diabetes can affect the arteries in your legs, especially your knees and feet. And this can cut off the blood supply to your feet, which can cause the tissues in your feet to starve for oxygen, which can also cause pain.
- Infections – People with diabetes are much more susceptible to getting an infection, especially a bacterial infection, from ulcer irritations or foot injuries.
- Gangrene – Because of the combination of poor blood circulation and peripheral neuropathy, you could get injured easily, and this injury not healing fast enough may lead to gangrene.
Choosing Shoes and Sandals for Diabetic Feet
Merrell sandals are ideally outdoor and hiking sandals, though we also find them very comfortable and protective for individuals with diabetes affecting their feet.
Merrell sandals for Diabetics are designed with an adjustable fit, usually with a hook-and-loop closure system. This adjustability ensures that your feet, even when swollen, are accommodated and considered, providing comfort and relief.
The sandals have an EVA foam footbed that is sometimes contoured for more support. They have a stable sole and usually have a thick, high-traction outsole because they are outdoor sandals.
