First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of shoe, called the LEEF-shoe, designed to prevent foot ulcers in people with diabetes and nerve damage. About 30 adults will wear both the LEEF-shoe and standard orthopedic shoes for several weeks to compare how well they relieve pressure on the feet. The goal is to see if the LEEF-shoe works as well or better than standard shoes, while being more appealing to wear.
