“General footwear recommendations include a broad and square toe box, laces with three or four eyes per side, padded tongue, quality lightweight materials, and sufficient size to accommodate a cushioned insole.” American Diabetes Association™ (ADA) Diabetes Care 2021 Jan; 44 (Supplement 1): S151-S167.

Steel Blue has comfort and whole-body wellness in their DNA. From the wider toe box, ErgoDefender™, allowing the toes to sit in a relaxed natural position so there is no rubbing or pinching to avoid unwanted foot sores, to the whole-body support of the Trisole technology that provides a vital foundation to support and cushion the feet, knees, hips, and lower back from day-to-day fatigue. The supple leather allows feet to settle in with no break-in period. Steel Blue boots are the a smart choice for someone living with diabetes.

• No Break-In Period – the durable, yet supple leather assists with less break-in time, making our work boots comfortable from day one.

• Water Resistant – the premium leather is treated during the tanning process to repel water from the surface, allowing feet to stay dry and comfortable in damp conditions.
• Lining – made from a soft, non-abrasive, hydrophobic material, the lining wicks perspiration away from the foot, enabling the skin to remain cool and dry.
• Easy fastening – the laces offer a secure and comfortable fit, while the side zip can be used for everyday convenience.
