Wear Properly Fitting Shoes

Many years ago, I talked with a surgeon who had to amputate the legs of people with blood vessel damage, usually thought to be caused by diabetes. I asked him what the main cause of amputation was. He replied that most people damage the blood vessels and structures in their feet long before they have diabetes by buying and wearing cheap, ill-fitting shoes. Then when the diabetic condition sets in, they continue that habit and eventually the damage to their feet is so severe that amputation is the only thing left to do to save their lives. Do your feet a favor and start wearing really good shoes now!
