Here is a link of an article by our friend and fellow Certified Pedorthist, Ralph Baker, Jr. Ralph Jr., and his father, Ralph Sr., own Ralph Baker’s Shoes in Salisbury, North Carolina. Ralph Jr. explains why diabetics should wear special shoes and insoles. At times it is those who don’t have any “problem” with their feet who may be injuring them the most because they have reduced feeling in them!
Both Mr. Bakers grew up in the shoe business. Ralph Jr. is a second generation Pedorthist and the Baker’s store is into its 3rd generation. When our customers – or one of us - wants a custom orthotic, it is Mr. Baker we trust most to do it right, do it quickly, and at a good price.
