Partial foot amputations are fit with prosthetic devices ranging from simple toe-fillers in shoes for toe amputations, to custom-molded silicone prosthetics that incorporate contoured arch supports and carbon fiber keels. A comfortable fit, control of weight-bearing forces and adaptation to the needs of each individual are the most important features of this type of prosthesis. In some instances it may be necessary to purchase slightly larger or extra-depth shoes to accommodate the arch support or prosthesis required.
For persons with Diabetes, a comfortable and supportive pair of shoes with a soft sole and uppers is important to safeguard feet against any further injury.
