Footwear & Offloading Services

Protective footwear and offloading to prevent and heal ulcers.

Diabetic footwear in India protects insensitive feet from the pressure, friction and injury that trigger most foot ulcers. At EDFC, footwear and custom insoles are prescribed from pressure mapping so weight is moved away from high-risk areas, helping prevent wounds and stop them coming back.

Why is special footwear important for diabetics?

When diabetes reduces sensation, ordinary shoes can cause unnoticed pressure points and rubbing that become ulcers. Diabetic footwear and custom orthotics spread pressure evenly, cushion bony areas and accommodate deformities so the skin stays intact. For anyone with neuropathy, a past ulcer or foot deformity, the right footwear is one of the most effective ways to avoid surgery.

Footwear at EDFC is chosen from objective pressure and biomechanical testing, not guesswork, so each prescription matches your foot.

Who needs diabetic footwear?

  • Neuropathy, or reduced sensation in the feet
  • A previous foot ulcer or amputation
  • Foot deformity, bunions, claw toes or Charcot foot
  • High-pressure areas, corns or recurrent calluses
  • Anyone wanting to prevent a first ulcer

Footwear works best as part of preventive diabetic foot care and alongside wound healing, so a healed foot stays protected.

Why choose EDFC for diabetic footwear in India?

As India's first dedicated foot-care chain, EDFC prescribes diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic footwear and custom orthotics based on measured foot pressures, under the clinical oversight of Dr. Ashutosh Shah's team. Footwear is matched to your wound history and foot shape, with fitting available in Surat and Vizianagaram.
