Shearstep Diabetic Shoe is a range of footwear for adults with
type 2 Non-Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus (N.I.D.D.M.).
The purpose of the footwear is to create an environment that
minimises the risk of foot ulceration and reduces the incidence of re-ulceration. The function of the shoe is
achieved by utilising methodologies from differing treatment modalities currently used in Diabetic foot care
and incorporating their features into the design and construction of the shoe. It is believed that, if key features
from different treatment methodologies can be successfully integrated into the design of footwear, the
incidence of plantar ulceration will be significantly reduced.
The Unique tri-planar last profile intimately contacts the contours of the foot without the need for custom made
total contact orthoses. The narrow profile mid foot secures the foot to the bed of the shoe reducing anterior/
posterior movement of the foot.
The patented Langer rigid conical axis rocker utilises the different diameters and locations of the metatarsal
heads to create a conical outsole profile. The conical axis profile inverts the fore foot during heel lift diverting
high pressures away from the high risk areas of the 1st and 2nd metatarsal heads.
