I need to get dibetic shoes but I am getting different information from different doctors. How do I know what is really right. If feeling in feet is limited, how do I know what is a good fit?
Also not sure how to use this - I do not do chats.

Well my suggestion to you is to get a pair of Ambulator shoes which is the brand our company makes. These are currently the shoes that my employer also uses and they are very helpful for my diabetic patients. My suggestion is to find an Apex distributor near you and have them do a custom fitting for you and help direct you to the best shoe for you. Also, if you have Medicare then you probably are also eligible to participate in the Medicare Diabetic Shoe program. You can go to our web page to find a distributor near you.
