Croc Shoes are a Great Alternative for People with Diabetes

Many people who wear Crocs shoes swear by them. They are ultra light, very comfortable, and suitable for people who are on their feet for extended periods of time like doctors, nurses, people who work in retail, etc. For people with chronic foot pain, bunions, plantar warts and even bad backs, Crocs can make a substantial difference in their quality of life.

To an even greater degree, people with diabetes benefit greatly from wearing Crocs. Crocs are a great way to invest in health and well being for someone with diabetes. People with diabetes tend to have bad circulation to their feet which leaves them at a higher risk for sores and wounds. Typically, sores, wounds or cuts do not heal well on a diabetic's foot. Usually, diabetics are forced to wear open toe shoes, to allow for ample air flow in and around the foot, thereby allowing healing of the foot to take place. However, wearing open toe shoes comes with a risk of injury, in that diabetics who are susceptible to non-healing wounds, have to take great care not to injure themselves, or bump their foot. With the wearing of Crocs blood flow is encouraged by allowing room around the foot instead of regular shoes with laces, which can often interfere with circulation. Crocs are a great alternative for diabetics looking for protective and comfortable footwear.
