The footwear has been designed after two years of collaborative research efforts of

Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai
MV Hospital for Diabetes and Diabetes Research Centre, Royapuram, Chennai
Novo Nordisk Education Foundation

Special design features of the footwear are as under:

PU sole with extra depth for more effective pressure distribution
The extra depth sole has a special tread for better grip and traction
Specially designed insole bed and foam layer for added comfort
Rigid counter to ensure limited joint mobility
Specially designed upper with leather lining for comfortable wear
Adjustable Velcro fasteners to take care fluctuations in foot volume

Apart from these features, a specially derived angle of slant has been provided in the sole to give the "rocker" effect which is used to offload pressure from planter surface of the feet.

All these features, incorporated after considerable research and after testing on diabetics at MV Hospital for Diabetes, Royapuram, Chennai make DIASTEP^TM footwear an essential item for people with diabetes. Constant wear of these footwear will prevent foot ulcers and foot infection.
