    Not sure about if they are safe for diabetics but they really help my Plantars Fasciitis if you have that.

    Battled it for several years about 6-7 years ago. It left for a couple years and came back with a vengeance. That’s what walking on asphalt 3-4 miles a day for work does to me. I wear the good feet store inserts and no older than 90 day running shoes and that helps but I really don’t think it’s completely avoidable with my work.

    I don't have diabetes,but I buy diabetic socks because they're stretchy and don't slip down
