Making a contribution towards this, the Portuguese Diabetes Association has created the APDP Programme – Healthy Footwear – based on its extensive experience in footcare. This programme is intended, on the one hand, to award an “APDP – Healthy Footwear” seal of approval to footwear models that respect defined criteria and, on the other hand, to make the general population aware of what is important when buying footwear, so that this can aid in maintaining healthy feet.
The basic features to look out for in healthy footwear are correct width, length and height and a fit that allows the shoe to be correctly adapted to the foot. Attention should also be paid to the materials forming the upper, the sole and the insole, as well as the height of the heel.
ORTOMEDICAL® FOOTWEAR by ARCOPEDICO® COMPLIES WITH THE CRITERIA
DEFINED BY THE APDP FOR HEALTHY FOOTWEAR
Shoe base of the same width as the foot.

Shoe upper made of real leather or appropriate materials (sports shoes) with a soft lining and no internal stitching.
Stable heel stiffener to support the heel of the foot, and edges that reach only as far as the ankles and the Achilles tendon, without covering them.
Fastenings are laces or Velcro strips, allowing for stretching and adjustment over the course of the day when the feet swell. The shoe should be neither too tight nor too loose on the foot when walking.
Semi-rigid sole and insole, made of non-slip material (rubber or polyurethane) and cushioned.
