Leather shoes without these insoles can be as bad as walking barefooted. The insoles must have enough room for the toes. The insole should be changed every 4-6 months, or when it appears worn-out. This should be fitted by a professional. DR. ZEN prescription insoles are recommended with the DR. ZEN shoe.

ALL diabetics should check their feet every day for swelling, cracks, sores or red spots. It is common to have a sore spot develop and not be noticed before they get infected. Prevention is the best treatment. Check about the same time every day, and if you can't see bottoms of you feet, you can use a mirror or have someone else help you. Also, check water temperatures to make sure they are not too hot.

It is extremely important to exam your feet daily and check for the following conditions: (If you cannot see the bottom of your foot, lay a mirror on the floor and hold your foot above the mirror to see the bottom.) See your doctor immediately if you experience any of these conditions. Recognizing a problem and having it treated early is the MOST important factor. The LEAP (Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention) Program has free filaments available for testing for possible nerve damage

Yes indeed, but if he doesn't notice a difference in leg muscle fatigue after a few short days, we would refund his money.

Yes, it is important to wear both, so that both foundation structures can be optimally aligned. Feet walk the dance of life, by balancing their steps together.

Diabetic feet tend to swell at different times of the day. DR. ZEN shoes have a Velcro closure to allow this adjustment and leave enough room for the swelling. Compression Socks can be worn also, for extra support for high volume swelling.

No. Non-elastic non-binding socks are a safe choice for diabetics. Restricting circulation is always a concern for diabetics, but doctors agree that uniform compression actually promotes blood flow. That's why SmartKnit socks are "corespun" with a special blend of Dupont Coolmax® and Lycra® yarns to create a "second skin" fit without pressure. SmartKnit socks won't slip, bunch, and create blisters and discomfort.

Custom insoles and over-the-counter corrective devices have generic arch supports, heel lifts or heel wedges. These types of insoles are made to accommodate the average pronation that can be corrected without a doctor's prescription and can be placed in stock boots with little or no size modification. The SP-Teri custom insole is made to fit the SP-Teri toe and heel shape and SP-Teri lengths. The insole lifts the heel and tilts it to the outside and supports under the arch.

First, if the insole is kept clean, slippers do not wear out nearly as quickly. Dirt acts as an abrasive to hasten the wear process. Second, if the insole is removed and washed separately (see "How do I wash..." and "How do I dry..." below for detailed instructions), the whole slipper will not require washing as often.

It is advisable to consult your physician because there are some saccharide mixtures (sugars) present in the Quick Dissolve Chewable Tablets.

Naturally you want your child to be strong and healthy and your podiatrist will lead you and your child to healthy feet. Those little developing feet which will have to carry the entire weight of the body through a lifetime of standing, walking and running, are composed of 52 bones. This is 25% of all bones in the body, plus, there are many muscles, tendons, ligaments, arteries, veins and nerves in your feet.

Walk barefoot. Walk barefoot some more. Go barefoot everywhere you can. Your soles, foot muscles, ligaments, and tendons are like any other parts of your body: you have to use them to develop them, otherwise they will atrophy. Note that you wouldn't need to build up your feet if you went barefoot from birth as nature intended. What you're actually doing by "building them up" is getting them back to their natural state.

The symptoms of arthritis which may include joint swelling, pain, tenderness, heat, redness, and/or limitation of motion, plus early morning stiffness, and skin rashes - often show up first in the feet? Since arthritis attacks the joints - and each of your feet has 33 joints - it is easy to understand how arthritis can seriously affect foot function. Fortunately; there is much you can do offset these effects on your feet and stay as active as you want to be.

Other types of proprioceptive insoles, orthotics, arch supports, or magnets are not designed to handle chronic jaw, neck, back, foot or knee pain problems arising from the inherited foot structures which Prof/Dr Rothbart discovered. If one uses other types of proprioceptive insoles to treat these two specific foot types, their results will be disappointing. Using Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles to treat these two specific foot types results in the elimination of chronic pain.

Lifetime of an insole typically lasts 2-3 years. Some people put in new Springbaks' once a year, even though it's not necessary. Some of our pro athletes put in new insoles every month, but newer insoles are virtually identical to older insoles as to performance.

For 80% of consumers, the insoles will last approximately 12 months depending on body weight, type of shoe and the environment they are used in (i.e. walking, running, work and sports). Because everyone is different, we can not indicate how many miles it will take to wear a pair out. We recommend replacing oyur insoles every 12 months or when you purchase new shoes.

Yes. Be sure to take the Superfeet Insoles with you when you buy new shoes so you don't buy a shoe that is the wrong size and volume. Remember to remove any factory sock liners, if needed.
