[QUOTE="Bittern, post: 2291270, member: 315804"] My understanding is that diabetics have poorer blood flow to the feet and as a consequence any damage done to the foot is slower to heal hence the recommendation not to go barefoot. If you couple the slower healing with neuropathy where you may not feel an injury the risk of consequent major damage is considerably increased. But its your choice some places are safer than others.
