Diabetic Walkers/Boots

Diabetic Boots/Walkers

DME-Direct.com carries a large selection of diabetic boots (diabetic walkers) from on the internet.  Diabetic walkers are an effective way to help off load a plantar ulcer on the sole of the foot.  Similar in function to a total contact cast or TCC, these products provide support and immobilization of the leg which in turn reduces shear forces which help prevent the healing process from achieving maximum benefit. 

The soles of our diabetic boots have the ability to displace stress away from the ulcer so that walking can be a less aggravating task.  Some models have floor pegs that can be punched out while others can be cut out for donut relief right under the ulcer.  Replacement insoles are available for diabetic boots and can be easily ordered over the phone.

Diabetic walkers are easier to manage in the home environment.  Bandages and ointments can be applied more easily than compared to a TCC and result in high patient compliance levels as well.   All of our diabetic models are bassed on shoe size and can be easily ordered on the computer for convenience.
