Good afternoon all....

HU and all forums under HU are support groups...and promotion of any commercial product is considered as commercial spam..

Hi 5419

I didn't see that post, but I hope these links are helpful.

There are two companies in the UK that sell specialist footwear and socks for people with medical conditions including diabetes, Cosyfeet and Hotter. Have a look at their websites and see what you think. You can call their customer service number if you have any questions, or speak to your DSN or podiatrist.

cosyfeet.com

hotter.com

The shoes and socks they sell are made, so they do not have any internal seams to dig in or rub. This is especially important for people with nerve damage or loss of sensation (neuropathy) in their feet. DRWF have a leaflet with more information about this.

Hope that helps :-)
