Leipzig Rehabilitation Shoe

The inner shoe length (C) was measured from the middle of the heel area to the middle of the big toe with a standard measurement device. The inner shoe widths were measured at the insole. We measured from the toe cap and drew a crossline at 1/3 of the insole for the inner shoe width in ball area. At this right-angled straight line, a 15° angle was measured. The resulting line was where we measured the inner shoe width in ball area (A). The inner shoe width in heel area (B) was measured at the level of the middle of the heel.

Why this shoe? Leipzig offers extra depth, a rocker sole, removable insoles, wide opening, and antimicrobial lining. This ensures comfort, wound protection, easy fitting, hygiene, and mobility during diabetic or post-surgical rehabilitation.
