Footwear Assessment
Find footwear that offloads pressure and stops diabetic ulcers before they start, in India.
A diabetic footwear assessment in India checks how pressure is distributed across your feet and matches you to protective, offloading footwear and insoles that prevent ulcers, calluses and deformity-related wounds. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC), footwear guidance is directed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah and our foot-care team at clinics in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why a Diabetic Footwear Assessment Matters
The wrong shoe is one of the most common triggers of a diabetic foot ulcer. When nerve damage removes protective sensation, everyday pressure and friction can break the skin without any pain being felt. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines list correctly fitted therapeutic footwear as one of the most effective ways to prevent ulcers from forming or returning.
What Our Diabetic Footwear Assessment Includes
- Foot-pressure mapping to find high-pressure “hot spots” before they ulcerate.
- Measurement of foot shape, width, arch and any deformity.
- Assessment of loss of sensation, linked with your neuropathy assessment.
- Review of your current shoes for damaging seams, rigidity or poor fit.
- Prescription of offloading footwear, custom insoles or total-contact solutions.
- Advice coordinated with our footwear and offloading services.
Who Should Get This Assessment
Book a diabetic footwear assessment if you have:
- Numbness or reduced feeling in your feet.
- A healed or current foot ulcer, callus or pressure sore.
- Foot deformity, bunions, hammertoes or signs of Charcot foot.
- An abnormal walking pattern picked up on gait analysis.
- Difficulty finding shoes that fit comfortably.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, so footwear is treated as medical protection, not a retail add-on. Recommendations are tied directly to your wound history and pressure map, and reviewed as part of the wider assessment and diagnostics service. This joined-up approach is why so many patients avoid a repeat ulcer.
What Happens After Your Assessment
You receive a clear footwear prescription and, where needed, custom insoles or offloading devices. Footwear is combined with ongoing preventive diabetic foot care and regular reviews, so the fit is adjusted as your feet change over time.
