Diabetic Dress Shoes for Women

The Mallory is a modern-day leather slip-on dress shoe featuring a micro-suede lining. Its footbeds can be removed to accommodate your own orthotics, and the use of a rigid shank in the mid-foot of the outsole delivers arch stability. Reduced seamlines, soft micro-suede lining, and uppers with reduced stitching provide enhanced comfort and help prevent skin irritation. Additional support and improved fit come from the firm heel counter, padded heel counter, and padded tongue.

Crafted with genuine leather and soft micro-suede lining, the Mallory is designed to help prevent complications such as ulcerations, calluses, or even amputations for patients with diabetes. The beautiful details and luxurious finishes of the Mallory pair well with any outfit, whether heading to work, a dressy event, or a casual outing.

Indications for the Mallory include foot problems associated with diabetes, plantar fasciitis, corns, calluses, swollen feet, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bunions, hammer toes, Morton's neuroma, and injuries involving tendons, muscles, and bones (e.g., Achilles tendonitis).

For product care, it is recommended to first clean dirty shoes with a damp cloth. Then, use a cleaning and conditioning crème for the leather, applying it with a clean, dry cloth and buffing or brushing out to provide a fresh finish. If needed, a colored shoe crème may also be used.

Regarding fitting, as a loafer-style shoe, the Mallory tends to have a roomier toe box, and the strap on the top of the shoe is not as securing as a closure located closer to the ankle. When fitting diabetic patients, it is important to remember that you should not normally want to fit them either shorter or narrower than measured. By following the instructions, you will achieve a fit comparable to the other shoes in the line. For patients with narrow heels, it will be easier to accommodate their needs with a lace shoe.

The recommendation is to order a 1/2 size shorter. Footnotes emphasize that you should not normally want to fit your diabetic patients either shorter or narrower than measured, but by following these instructions, you will achieve a fit comparable to the other shoes in the line. It is also important to remember that when you are fitting patients that have narrow heels, it will be easier to accommodate their needs with a lace shoe.
