Neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nerves become damaged, most commonly in the feet. It can lead to reduced sensation or a complete loss of feeling, so the person affected may not notice pressure, friction or minor injuries. This significantly increases the risk of pressure points, blisters, ulcers and other complications that may go unnoticed. Neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes, but it can also occur with other conditions affecting the nervous system.

For people with neuropathy, it is therefore important that footwear minimises mechanical irritation of the foot. Diawin shoes are designed to reduce friction, pressure and the risk of skin irritation in areas that are particularly vulnerable when sensation is reduced. A key feature is the smooth interior with minimal internal seams, which helps reduce the risk of skin abrasions. Extra depth, three widths and a rounded toe also provide more room for sensitive feet, any deformities and custom-made orthotic insoles.
