This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new protective shoe called the LEEF-shoe designed for people with diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet. The study compares the LEEF-shoe to standard custom-made protective shoes to see if it provides the same protection against foot ulcers while being easier to use and more attractive to wear.
Many people with diabetes develop painful foot ulcers that can lead to serious complications like amputation. While protective shoes help prevent ulcers, standard custom shoes depend heavily on the skill of the person fitting them and are often considered unattractive. This trial exists to see if the LEEF-shoe can provide the same protection with a simpler, more appealing design.

You will receive two pairs of protective shoes and wear each one for four weeks. The study measures the pressure under your feet while wearing each shoe and asks about your comfort and preference. After eight weeks, you can choose whichever shoe you prefer. You'll have measurements taken at the beginning and end, and you'll share your thoughts about which shoe works better for you.
