Of the sixteen million Americans with diabetes, 25% will develop foot problems related to the disease. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and neuropathy. Diabetic Neuropathy can cause insensitivity or a loss of ability to feel pain, heat, and cold. Diabetics suffering from neuropathy can develop minor cuts, scrapes, blisters, or pressure sores that they may not be aware of due to the insensitivity. If these minor injuries are left untreated, complications may result and lead to ulceration and possibly even amputation. Neuropathy can also cause deformities such as Bunions, Hammer Toes, and Charcot Feet.

It is very important for diabetics to take the necessary precautions to prevent all foot related injuries. Due to the consequences of neuropathy, daily observation of the feet is critical. When a diabetic patient takes the necessary preventative foot care measures, he or she reduces the risks of serious foot conditions.

Diabetes often leads to peripheral vascular disease that inhibits a person’s blood circulation. With this condition, there is a narrowing of the arteries that frequently leads to significantly decreased circulation in the lower part of the legs and the feet. Poor circulation contributes to diabetic foot problems by reducing the amount of oxygen and nutrition supplied to the skin and other tissue, causing injuries to heal poorly. Poor circulation can also lead to swelling and dryness of the foot. Preventing foot complications is more critical for the diabetic patient because poor circulation impairs the healing process and can lead to ulcers, infection, and other serious foot conditions.

Orthotebb Health Shoes and Boots allow diabetics to easily exercise, walking around the house and neighborhood. The low impact exercise greatly enhances blood circulation to the legs and feet, decreasing swelling and improving tissue healing properties. The "pumping" action in the deep veins and arteries significantly decreases the chances of developing Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). Additional benefits are the calorie burning, which with proper diet, aids in weight control or weight loss and posture improvement, which puts less stress on the joints in the hips, knees, ankles and feet.

As a public health professional, I am constantly looking to identify a range of strategies that will improve the overall health of populations. I purchased the Orthotebb clogs several months ago after reading favorable reviews of the Orthotebb line of footwear. My initial reaction to the clogs after wearing them for two weeks was quite favorable, with a significant reduction of pain from an old knee injury. After two months, I have no residual pain whatsoever. Indeed, my legs haven't felt so good since I was in college, over thirty years ago. While I cannot speak for all Orthotebb footwear products, I can highly recommend the clogs which perform as advertised.

I got the sandals for my wife, who suffers from poor circulation and always has swelling in her ankles and feet by the end of the day. Within 3 weeks of her walking in them 15 minutes every other day, the swelling was gone. Thanks for making such a wonderfully effective product.
