My mom had this same problem with a company that was recommended by her diabetic specialist. They came out and measured her feet and all the shoes they provided were too big because she has narrow feet. They tried putting two or three insoles in them and after several attempts to fit her told her that they could not get any narrower shoes. She ended up going to the store and getting a $40 pair of Reebocks. The problem is that a great many diabetics have a problem with swollen feet or are obese and have fatter feet. My mom's shoes were paid for by medicare and she had to call medicare and tell them that she could never get shoes that fit and had to send them back so that Medicare would not be charged.

It sounds like whatever you have was poorly made and I wouldn't be wearing them. I would think you'd have some serious issues with ill fitting shoes with diabetes. Make a phone call to the podiatrist and tell him/her the problem. They should make sure to correct the problem or refund your money, no questions asked.

I also just got a new pair that does not fit the best. Feel loose all the way around. $350.00 what a joke. Biggest rip off of the new millenium. Take care Miz Lamb. I feel for ya.
