The two aspects to take into account when talking about special footwear for diabetics are comfort and adaptability to the shape of the foot.
A few weeks ago the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia published some very interesting recommendations for the correct choice of footwear by diabetics, and that is that, according to what they tell us, it is vitally important to choose the right footwear to prevent injuries and ulcerations that this pathology is associated.
For active diabetics (the number of diabetics in the European Union is estimated at 15 million) it is very hard to go to work every day when the footwear does not suit the lesions they have on their feet, and may even increase the problem, impairing its treatment and recovery.
PANTER, aware of the needs of diabetic people in their workplace, as well as workers who suffer from foot ailments or malformations that require any type of adaptation in their safety footwear, offers MEDICAL PANTER, designed and personalized to adapt completely to the specific ailment of each user, and which is manufactured always according to the criteria recommended by specialist podiatrists.
