• Maintains the shape of the shoe
• Controls and stabilizes the heel

17. Tongue
• Prevents debris from entering
• Protects against pressure of laces
• Ensure it’s not too long to irritate leg
19. Lower (sole) anatomy
• 3 components to the sole of a shoe
• Inner sole
• Middle sole
• Outer sole
20. Outer sole
• Portion of the sole that makes contact
with the ground
• Provides traction, resists wear, and
absorbs shock
• Treaded layer glued to midsole
• Thinner than the midsole
• Typically, either made from:
• Blown rubber lighter, but less
durable
• Carbon rubber heavier, but
more durable
• Combination
21.
22. Middle sole
• Thickest layer
• Provides the majority of cushioning
and shock absorption
• Modification layer
• Typically made from EVA or PU
• Ethylene vinyl acetate lighter,
better cushioning, deteriorates
quicker
• Polyurethane denser, heavier,
more durable
24. Mid sole
cushioning
device
• Majority comes from EVA
• Manufactures also insert their proprietary
cushioning systems (w/n midsole)
• Most common cushioning systems use
encapsulated air, gel or other materials
25. Medial post
Within the midsole (firmer)
EVA, thermoplastic urethane,
carbon fiber or other materials
In stability and motion control
shoes
Not in cushioned or neutral shoes
Size ,shape, & density determine
amount of stability provided
26. Shank
Stiffens the shoe under the arch
Makes the middle portion of the shoe
more resistant to torsion and flexion
In most running shoes except the
lightest and most flexible
Assists shoe in bending at toes
Adds weight
27. Inner sole
Not visible on constructed
shoe
Junction attachment of
the sole to the upper shoe
Not an insert
28. Sizing
Use a similar weight
sock and orthotics
Leave at least ¼
inch (up to ½ inch)
between longest
toe and end of shoe
Heel counter
should be snug
enough to prevent
heel from sliding
Fit shoe during the
end of the day
(swelling)
Shoes should never
need breaking in
Always try on both
shoes
30. Shoe life
Less dependant on age of shoe
More dependant on amount of usage
and signs of wear
Athletes vs non-athletes
Work vs casual
Differences among body habitus
Presence deformities
31. Shoe breakdown
• Occurs most commonly at the
outer sole
• Has has outer sole worn through
to the middle sole?
• Is there a 4mm difference from
the other side of the heel?
32. Shoe breakdown
• Lack of middle sole shock absorption
• Uneven on flat surfaces
• Noticeable creases
• General rule of thumb: Replace 300-500 miles
34. Guidelines for
replacement
Even without use shoes can
wear out
Depending on environment
Best to replace athletic shoes
that are over a year old
Can be expensive in short term
Will prevent injuries and keep
patients active in long run
35. Picking shoes
Right shoe for the right foot
Shoe
Best shoe for the job
Shoe
Comfort & Function > Appearance
Comfort

Function
Remove/Avoid if irritating

Avoid
40. Minimalist
shoes
Became popular after an article
in Time in 2007
Predominantly anecdotal
Concept:
• Feet were not meant to wear shoes,
therefore, cannot function efficiently
with use
• Barefoot/minimalist shoes allow
strengthening of the pedal
musculature
43. Diabetic
shoes
• Function
• Protect residual foot
• Maintain position inside the shoe
& reduce shear
• Contribute to restoring normal gait
• Allow for accommodation of
orthotic device
• Allows for modification e.g. steel
shank or rockerbottom
44. Diabetic shoes
Supplied by
orthotist or
sale in
private
office
Medicare
supply new
pair & 3
inserts each
year
Exam shoes
during
patient
encounter
45. Conclusion
Today’s shoes are
variations of the 7
basic models
Sole vs upper
Find the correct shoe
for the correct foot
for the correct job
Diabetic shoes can
help prevent ulcer
formation

Essentially began as a slab of material held in position by linear shaped material
Dates back to Egyptian times and prior & in Asia
Algonquian AKA American Indian
Usually made from a single piece of rawhide
Like the other types contemporary styles exist
Recent resurgence of clogs in Crocs and Dansko surgical shoes
Does not refer to the reebok pump
During the Elizabethan era
Early use were sized smaller than appropriate
Corn cutting become prominent during this time
All the components that cover the foot are considered part of the upper
Each have a separate name and perform a different function
May extend proximally
Will minimize excessive pronation or supination
Different designs
May be sewn into the quarters or may be an extension of the vamp
May flip down to hid the laces
Layer cake
There isn't a reliable way to differentiate between carbon and blown rubber, so determine which you prefer and ask to see the specification sheets at the store
Skate shoe traction mold for asphalt/cement
Athletic shoe has better traction of terrain
Research has not shown that any one manufacturer’s cushioning technology is superior to another
Brooks DNA, non-Newtonian liquid, this midsole technology responds to the amount of force placed on the foot and disperses
The pressure, providing just the right amount of resiliency. Simply put, you can expect soft comfort when you want it, firm support when you need it.
Benefits:
Decreases some of the inherent instability of cushioned midsole foam,
Assists in controlling excessive pronation
Consequences:
Adds weight
Misconception:
Medial posts cause the foot to “roll out”
Slows down or decreases pronation or “rolling in” but does not cause the foot to roll out or supinate
The insole is glued, stapled or sewn into place in a shoe.
The inlay goes on top of the insole and is removable.
The inlay will be the portion which comes into contact with the foot.
The inlay will be removed in a diabetic shoe and replaced with an insert.
An insert can accommodate or assist with correcting during ambulation.
Too short shoes cause bruising and blacken toenails.
Too narrow shoes squeeze the ball of the foot can deform toes and lead to mortons neuroma
Too wide blisters and increase risk for strains and sprain as foot slides inside the shoe
Brannock device may be helpful to correctly length and width
Variation amongst sizes between manufactures
Shoes are built over a generic foot model called “last.” It will determines the shape and profile of the shoe.
Curved are lighter and less supportive
Straight are heavier and more supportive
Adapted for Arnold Ross, DPM
The shoes should remain even and not roll. If they roll when they are new, they will not stop the foot from rolling excessively when worn, and can cause injury.

Traditionally an Oxford (or Monk) style of shoes with an additional 1/4 to 3/8 depth throughout the shoe
TCC is considered the gold standard for DFU tx
But diabetic shoes are a cornerstone of prevention
To protect the foot
To relieve areas of excess pressure
To reduce shock
To reduce shear
To accommodate deformities
Extra depth allow an orthotic to be added without a major change in height or stability
