AB  - This literature review aims to explore the significance of diabetic footwear in managing foot-related complications
associated with diabetes, especially related to diabetic neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, and ulcerations. The goal
is to synthesise key research on the design, efficacy, and impact of diabetic footwear in preventing foot ulcers, reducing
pressure, and promoting healing. The review highlights recent advancements in diabetic footwear technology, including
innovations such as smart sensors and other industry 4.0 advancements, while also addressing the barriers to patient
compliance and the challenges in evaluating long-term outcomes. Special considerations are addressed to publications
and authors in the field of diabetic research as their continuous impact drives knowledge forward and provides relevant
data in improving patients’ quality of life. Findings show that diabetic footwear plays a critical role in preventing foot
complications, but further research is needed to standardise footwear designs and assess long-term benefits.
