Rationale: Of all individuals with diabetes, 19-34% develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime, and nearly 25% of these ulcers result in amputation. Ulcer prevention is often addressed by prescribing orthopedic shoes (OS). However, the effectiveness of OS is highly dependent on the individual shoe technician's skill and experience, and OS is frequently perceived as unattractive by users. To overcome these limitations, the LEEF-shoe was developed. It eliminates the need for a fully individualized shoe technician approach by using a standardized protocol to determine the rocker settings. This may provide comparable plantar pressure relief, while potentially improving patient acceptance due to its more appealing design and simplified prescription process. Objective: The primary objective is to determine whether the LEEF-shoe differs from standard-OS in terms of plantar pressure distribution.
