Support Shoes

"For the disabled, slip resistance in a pair of shoes is a key factor, in addition to ease of access. An excellent slip-resistant shoe is the super birki clog. There are also many other style of professional clogs available. These shoes offer stability for the disabled, without sacrificing comfort."

Shoes for Support & Disabilities

The disability support center provides resources and information for those in need of special use shoes. One is example is patients suffering from diabetes. Diabetic patients must be sure their oxford shoes conform to the shape of the foot. This can be achieved through the use of formed inserts or linings. The shoe must also be flexible for conditions such as poor circulation, diabetic neuropathy (lack of oxygen), and those at risk of infection. Lace up shoes such as saddle shoes add extra support and comfort.
