Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce myself as a postgraduate student at the University of Warwick and as part of my research project, I am exploring the possible solutions that can be provided in detecting early stage foot ulcers thereby preventing the more possible serious consequences. In order to gain more insight on the real issues, I have drafted a survey which I would greatly appreciate if you could take some to fill. It should not take more than 7 minutes to complete.

Below is the link.

Hi Umar Fareez.
I believe their is a problem, I checked all the boxes ,so they were all red then pressed >>
I tried this several times with no joy
 
Same here, I've checked every box possible on the first page, and it's still telling me 'please answer all choices' and not letting me go on!
 
Um sorry but it's still not working for me.
 
The questionnaire makes assumptions that we are not told about before we start. Oh, and there's a Typo - asking how long we've been diagnosed with diabetics!

It believes we all own or want to own, running shoes. We don't!

It believes we all purchase/wear 'diabetic' footwear - we most certainly do not !

It asks what price our current footwear falls in - my current wardrobe contains footwear I paid a tenner for and also, one pair that were well over £100, years ago (Bruno Maglis, and they are still comfy, cos I keep em for extra special best only!) The rest range between £20 and £60 roughly. If I want em - and they are comfy, then I'll have em, cos I can afford it - and I'm as miserable as sin if my feet aren't happy.

Not having my feet measured before buying shoes is not my choice - it would never be my choice - but there are so few adult shops which provide this service - or even the facility to DIY - that we're stuck with it and that's that. Even premium makes like eg Clarks or Van Dal, vary so much in fit between styles and even individual pairs the same size on the retailer's shelf - it's a blooming joke. Shoe shopping is no longer an unmitigated pleasure, sadly.
 
Totally agree Jenny, the last pair of shoes I bought were hotter from the outlet store, I knew straight away they were right, the same style shoe in the same size but another colour did not feel the same so they stayed in the shop!
 
I'm afraid I answered slightly tongue in cheek - I said my footwear was not diabetic as it made its own insulin...

I found I was answering the questions the same as I would have done if I was non diabetic. In either case, I want comfortable shoes that won't damage my feet!

That's all I want from shoes too. My fav shoes for casual wear is original CROCS. I'm hoping that when its healed and is behaving itself my foot will still be happy in CROCS

I'm still not able to take part in the survey.
 
When Clarks have a 50% off sale, you can look at shoes on-line and arrange to try them on at your local store. If you like them - you buy them. If you don't then you don't. I've bought £120 boots for £60. Got two pairs now.
