For sugar (diabetic) patients
Why a diabetic foot needs different footwear
Less feeling in the feet
Sugar can dull the nerves (neuropathy). A small cut, nail or tight strap may not be felt until it becomes a wound.
Pressure points
Too much pressure on one spot of the sole builds calluses, and calluses can turn into ulcers.
Swelling & dressings
Feet swell through the day, and a dressed foot needs extra room. Normal chappals pinch and rub.
Slow healing
Wounds on a diabetic foot heal slowly, so protecting the foot every day matters most.
Diabosole protection
How every pair protects the foot
- ✓
Soft MCR/MCP off-loading insole. Spreads pressure evenly across the sole and relieves areas of high plantar pressure.
- ✓
Hard, tough outsole. Stops sharp objects like nails and thorns from getting through to the foot.
- ✓
Wide toe box. No squeezing of the toes or the front of the foot.
- ✓
Parallel-bar Velcro straps. Open wide to fit ulcer dressings and neuropathic swelling, and adjust through the day.
- ✓
Soft-lined straps. MCR/MCP lining on every strap, so no hard edge rubs the skin.
- ✓
Stable heel counter. Holds the heel steady and makes up for weak foot muscles, a common neuropathy problem.

Questions families ask us
How do I find my size?+
Stand on a sheet of paper, mark your longest toe and heel, and measure the distance in centimetres. Enter it in the size finder on the Size Guide page and we suggest a UK size. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Are sizes UK or Indian?+
Indian sizes follow the UK numbering, so a UK 8 is an Indian 8. The size guide also shows the approximate European size.
Do you have half sizes or different widths?+
Designs are offered in whole sizes. Most designs have adjustable straps, so the width can be changed with the fastening. If you need something wider or a half size, message us and we will advise.
My feet swell during the day. Which size should I choose?+
Measure your feet in the evening, when they are largest, and choose the larger size if you are between two. Designs with parallel-bar straps let you loosen the front as your feet swell.
Can I get a made-to-fit pair?+
Yes. Book a foot scan and we can advise on customisations such as scoops, rockers, wedges, heel pads, arch support and height correction. See the Foot Scan and Customisation pages.
What are MCR and MCP?+
MCR is micro cellular rubber and MCP is micro cellular polyurethane. Both are light, soft, resilient materials that cushion the foot and spread pressure. They form the footbed and line the straps.
What does Shore A mean?+
Shore A is a scale for how hard a rubber or foam feels. A lower value means softer. Softysoles uses softer materials where your foot rests and a firmer outsole underneath.
Softysoles footwear is designed for comfort and support. It does not replace medical treatment. If you have diabetes, a wound or loss of feeling in your feet, please follow your doctor's advice.
