At Last - A Comfortable Shoe!
Dr. Zen shoes were designed with the input of patients, professionals, and government agencies such as Medicare and the FDA. We discovered that many people with diabetes have trouble finding a shoe that is comfortable and stylish. This is why Dr. Zen’s Therapeutic Shoes have balanced the need to provide the ultimate in comfort with the goal of protecting the diabetic foot. Dr. Zen’s Therapeutic Shoes have extra depth to accommodate a diabetic insole that is custom fit for your foot. A rocker bottom coupled with a ridged shank that aids in realigning ground forces and encourages a normal gait.
On the inside of Dr. Zen’s shoes, there is a seamless Construction for reduction in Abrasion. The upper front of the shoe is made with Lycra. This makes the shoe more breathable. Ventilation allows for normal body cooling and reduces the hot damp atmosphere which may contribute towards the development of fungus and bacteria. More so, Dr. Zen’s diabetic shoe has a reinforced toe box to protect the sensitive diabetic foot. The shoe is lightweight with a secure closure that ensures the shoe stays on to protect the foot.
Breathable Upper
the upper front of the shoe is made with Lycra. This makes the shoe more breathable. Ventilation allows for normal body cooling and reduces the hot damp atmosphere which may contribute towards the development of fungus and bacteria.
Rocker Bottom
The heal and the toe are slightly curved forcing the foot to walk properly.
The rocker bottom coupled with the ridged shank,
aid in re-aligning ground forces and encourage
a normal gait and aid in maintaining a neutral position.
Rigid Shank
The bottom of the shoe has a rigid shank, with the help of the "rocker bottom" forces the foot to walk properly,
with the proper weight and support on the bottom of the foot.
Reinforced Toe Box
The toe box is high and reinforced to help prevent
injury to sensitive toe area.
Seamless Construction for Reduced Abrasion
The inside of the shoe is finished without high, irritating seams. Seams that rub against the diabetic foot can cause irritation, causing blisters, calluses and infection.
Light Weight
the balance of the shoe and construction materials make this a shoe that protects the foot and provides comfort. The biomechanical design redistributes the ground reaction forces. This shoe can comfortably be worn all day.
Meets the therapeutic shoe bill
the therapeutic shoe bill is very specific. Not all shoes fit the bill. The Dr. Zen shoe meets and exceeds the requirements of the therapeutic shoe bill providing not only an orthopedic shoe which can be used for a diabetic, but a diabetic shoe designed for a diabetic. The difference is noticed by the patients.
