Why Birkenstock habit of letting people wear sandals diabetic ago? I am diabetic and they said "if I was diabetic I do not suppose to wear sandals all @" I lied and said "not me". I like to sandals. Is not profiliing or something close to that. What is your opinion on this?
It's just to cover themselves, being diabetic, you know you have your feet checked every year if there was something wrong with your payment, you may want to blame the leaders of sandals, they are just to cover
There are many other things that do not mean for diabetics, foot baths say.
Do not worry, you know if your approved or not, if you have any problems with your feet, your doctor will advise on the type of wear foot wear.
Enjoy your sandals!
They say that for liability reasons.
If you are diabetic and have foot problems, as many diabetics have therefore could reduce the sandals in the feet and cause sores.
This is not profiling, it is to protect themselves. When you say you do not have diabetes, you remove them from this responsibility.
Diabetics should not wear sandals that have all straps between the toes. ulcers and amputations are frequent and should be avoided
Was it possible that you confused the word with the word Conservative diabetic or person with taste?
As you know, we diabetics should take good care of our feet and we can not "break" shoes, boots or anything else in the purchase of shoes that is very bad for our feet.
I am also a diabetic and was told not to wear sandals. Because of possible damage to the feet. A diabetic takes longer to heal. I'm going for the treatment of three months on, after getting a foot ulcer due to walk barefoot. As long as you check your feet, it should not be a problem
EDIT ... What's with the thumbs down? We diabetics know what we are talking
As a diabetic, you must protect your feet and toes at all
times .. I do not want to scare you, but my father cut her toe
he became infected and gangrene set it and it should be part of his foot amputated ...
Please be sure to protect your feet !!!!!
As a diabetic you really take care of your feet. The soles of their shoes in cork and are prone to rupture and break up. If the sole of cork were to break and send a tape of this stopper in your foot, you might have a very hard time ever getting your foot back to normal. My stepfather was diabetic, was wearing Birkenstocks and ended up with two black fingers because the only broke out in his skin. They were infected, he got a nasty infection in his toes to knee. Just find another sandal to wear, they tell you that for a reason. I hope that your health comes first in the shoe.
To simplify everything here, if a diabetic gets a cut or wound take much longer to heal and, in some cases it is not fair in which amputation is the next order. In addition, most diabetics loss of sensation in the feet if you were to cut the unprotected foot in sandal, say, you have the beginning of a dangerous potential problem. That's all for your well-being that these warnings are issued and if you must be careful and go for pedicures.
