Keeping our Pups Healthy

Understanding the commitment you make to your pets has more to do with just buying food and toys for Fido. It is essential that you take your dog into the vet for regular check-ups and immunization shots. As you take your dog in, you have to know that your decisions must also be in the best interest. One thing that we have realized, is that their loyalty and companionship is an extreme gift and the least we can do is take them out once a day. It seems to be a small price for all that they do for their humans. But as I’ve said before, it’s really a blessing in disguise for the days when I’m just too tired from the day. They get me out despite my yearning to stay in. But once I’m out, I can’t help but to smile when I’m walking the little rascals. Now if you’re in one of the colder parts of the country I realize it’s a bit more difficult to get out with them, but try some puppy push-ups and that should do the trick until the weather gets nicer. You’re doing all you can to prevent diabetes in dogs, as well as yourself. Awareness is key.

New Shoes – Spring Step from Spring Footwear

We promised you some new products and we absolutely deliver on our word. Just a few weeks into the year, we are proud to introduce our Spring Step lineup from Spring Footwear. Spring Footwear is the home of European comfort and the company prides itself on identifying stylish and luxurious footwear designs to bring to the United States. For the perfect blend of fashion, technology, and comfort, look no further than the Spring Step collection.
To start things off, we have a variety of styles from the women’s fashion category. These items are fitted and designed for comfort but trendy enough to wear for a night on the town. We have a small sample of the shoes below:

Women's Katima Comfort Sandals

Women's Flora Comfort Sandals

Women's Flamingo Comfort Sandals

Women's Keesha Comfort Sandals

Women's Flamingo Kaylee Sandals

First up, we have the women’s Katima comfort sandals which feature three adjustable straps for a custom and precise fit. The insole on the Katima can be replaced by a custom orthotic, or can be machine washed and air dried. Next, we have the Spring Step Flora sandals for women. Each Flora sandal is made with only the highest quality materials to ensure comfort and durability. These sandals are fabricated with soft cushioned leather insoles and provide arch support for all day walking comfort. Coming up for the Spring Season, we have also added the Flamingo comfort sandals. The Flamingo is a magnificently crafted slingback sandal. They offer stability, durability, and flexibility through its cork like polyurethane outsole. Next, we have the Spring Step Keesha sandals. Similar to the Katima, the Keesha uses two adjustable hook & loop closure leather straps. The sandals were also designed with a shock absorbing insole. Finally, we have the Kaylee comfort sandals which are a beautiful slide in sandal designed with fashion and maximum comfort in mind. The padded footbed and flexibility of the insole leads to all day comfort for the fashion-oriented woman. All of the styles above are available in multiple colors. We’ll be adding more on a regular basis from Spring Footwear and I don’t want to give too much away, but keep an eye out for the men’s line as well as some very comfortable medical shoes coming soon.

Follow up From American Diabetes Month

We have just tallied everything up and made the contributions to the American Diabetes Association to celebrate Diabetes Month in November. As promised, we made a contribution of 5 percent of all sales during the month of November. We want to thank you for your help and support. Your help has contributed to the progress to stop diabetes with research funding. Educating the public is essential to stopping diabetes. There were significant events in 2009 and we’re looking to growing everyone’s awareness in this year 2010. Thank you again, and good luck this year. By the way, keep an eye out on the Diabetic Shoes HuB website for a new manufacturer coming this week sometime.

New Comfort Shoes Informational Page

We hope the informational have been helpful on the Diabetic Shoes HuB website for you. Many people don’t know about the specifics or reason behind wide shoes, diabetic socks, or even comfort shoes. The comfort shoes page is our newest addition and goes a lot deeper than just talking about the obvious need for comfortable shoes. We also feature our newest comfort shoe provider Finn Comfort. Finn Comfort hand crafts each and every one of their fine European walking shoes. Take a look at the site and keep an eye out for more as well.

Drew Hara Women’s Walking Shoes

We ended the year by showing you the Drew Apollo for men, so it’s only fitting to start off 2010 by showing you the latest and greatest women’s athletic walking shoes from Drew Shoe. The new Drew models come in three distinct styles and colors to fit anyone’s preference. The shoes were designed for comfort, and they absolutely deliver on their objective.

Womens Walking Shoes - White

Womens Walking Shoes - Black

Womens Walking Shoes - White Mesh

The shoes have a slip resistant outsole and also provide double depth with two removable insoles creating space for custom orthotics or simply extra toe room. There’s no trouble in keeping your feet dry either with the Drew Hara’s breathable mesh vamp and quarter linings for ventilation.

Looking Forward on the Year 2010

New year, new beginnings. Our economy began to see a bit of light last year in 2009 but that didn’t necessarily translate into more families being better off. There were and are still some alarming facts but here’s to new hope! In the year 2010 we want to make your life more comfortable and we’re going to start right where we left off; offering great products, strong customer service, and deep discounts. Our preaching is to pass on the savings to you and that is our intention as we continue to move forward and add more products for you. Our product selection is still far from full so you can bet that there is still plenty in store for this upcoming year. We hope you have a great one with prosperity and health and we look forward to being there with you every step of the way.

Have a Save and Happy New Year

Well the Holidays are almost winding down and we want to be sure to wish you a great, enjoyable New Year’s Eve in hopes that you bring in the year 2010 in comfort and happiness. This year has been anything but a breeze and although we are climbing back, the economic road to recovery is not going to be a smooth ride. That being said, we appreciate all of the time that you spend with us on our site. Your trust in us has helped us to continue to develop lasting relationships with reputable orthopedic shoe developers. But we’re not through yet, oh far from it in fact. We still have a few suppliers waiting to come on board and you can bet that 2010 will be full of additional shoes and orthopedic footwear accessories, improved customer service, and most importantly, savings for you. We’re looking forward to continually serving you. Now get out and enjoy your New Year’s Eve!

New Drew Walking Shoes for Men – Drew Apollo

Just to finish off the year 2009 right, we want to introduce the new men’s Drew Apollo walking shoes. They have all of the comfort and therapeutic features that a standard Drew Shoe product is known for, designed in an athletic format. Each user can have a customized fit with hook and loop (Velcro® brand) adjustable strap closures. The shoes come in three great colors. We have the black Drew Apollo, the white Drew Apollo, and finally, the Drew Apollo in black mesh. Aside from the maximum padding that these men’s walking shoes offer, they also offer breathability with a mesh vamp and quarter linings. Like all great Drew Shoes, the Drew Apollo was designed with the Drew Plus Fitting System® allowing 2 removable inserts for an increased custom fit.

Merry Christmas from the HuB

We here at the HuB want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. Stay safe this weekend and if you are traveling, take your time and soak in the sights but most importantly, don’t speed, especially if you’re driving in iced and snowy conditions. Enjoy your time with friends and family remember all that we have and all that we are thankful for. On that note, we want to let you know that we are very thankful for you and the generous support you have shown to the HuB. We look forward to a great relationship together.

New Informational Pages on the HuB

As the Holidays begin get closer and closer, you may be wondering why some of your friends and relatives may be suggesting wides shoes or diabetic socks as gifts. Well, to help you figure out the difference between those items and the other everyday products you can get from you local shoe store, we have created new pages on the HuB. You can learn about the difference between standard socks and diabetic socks and also see why some people may need wide width shoes. There are also great gift ideas in each of those areas. So take a look and enjoy.

Reminder: Holiday Savings with the HuB

There is still time left to save this Holiday season with the Diabetic Shoes HuB. For any order of $150 or more, you can shave off $15 from the total. Be sure to take advantage of these great savings before time runs out. At the beginning of the New Year, be on the lookout for more shoes from other trusted, tried, and true brands in the orthopedic footwear. Thank you for your continued support.

Adding Sources for Added Value

We never stop looking for resources to help our customers not only save from our low prices on our site, but also to help users understand the complications with the multiple types of foot problems. Our latest partner is well known not only in the orthopedic footwear industry, but also the overall medical supply industry as well. The site is the Med Supply Guide which is a great resource site featuring a forum for users to discuss products and medical complications, medial supply FAQ’s, a section to read up on reviews to find out what previous users of certain products may have said, and much more. One thing to note though, is that although the site was intended for medical purposes, the information is not a substitute for advice from a certified medical practitioner. A consultation with a health care professional is the proper method to address health and medical supply concerns.

Drew Jamie Women’s Diabetic Boots

It’s cold, and it’s only getting colder at this time of year. Why not treat your loved one to one of Drew Shoe’s most comfortable and convenient women’s leather boots. The Drew Jamie boots are new to the scene for this season, but are durable enough for year round wear, not to mention versatile as well making great additions to any wardrobe. The boots come in two colors, the Drew Jamie in brown and the Drew Jamie in black. Both models are designed to accommodate prescribed orthotics with double the depth of a traditional shoe for extreme foot conditions. Soft leather construction, a flexible polyurethane outsole, and double added depth are just a few of the features built into the women’s diabetic boots that helped to make Drew Shoe a trusted name in therapeutic footwear. All these reasons and more make these shoes the ultimate gift this holiday season.
