Abril Black-Burgundy Anatomical Shoe — DiabCare® Line for Delicate and Diabetic Feet
The D'Torres® Abril Shoe belongs to the DiabCare® line, designed specifically for women who need footwear that is wide, adaptable and respectful of foot morphology. Crafted entirely in our artisan workshops in Elche (Alicante), this model combines contemporary aesthetics with rigorous biomechanical criteria for those with wide feet, bunions (hallux valgus), hammer toes, plantar fasciitis or diabetic foot.
Technical Features and Key Benefits
Adaptable Cowhide Leather Upper
- Made from premium adaptable cowhide leather that progressively moulds to the shape of the foot without creating pressure points or friction.
- Soft, breathable interior that respects skin integrity, especially suitable for feet with reduced sensitivity or vascular changes associated with diabetic foot.
- Aesthetic finish in a Black-Burgundy combination for an elegant and versatile result.
D'Torres® K Last — Extra Wide for Greater Interior Space
- The D'Torres® K Last is our extra-wide last, designed to provide the greatest possible interior space in the forefoot and metatarsal area.
- Reduces lateral pressure on bunions (hallux valgus), hammer toes or any deformity requiring greater interior room.
- Promotes a more balanced gait and reduces friction in risk zones for the diabetic foot.
DiabCare® Line — No Aggressive Internal Seams
- The Abril model is crafted to the standards of the DiabCare® D'Torres® line: an interior free from internal seams that could cause rubbing, wounds or ulcers in feet with altered sensitivity.
- Breathable materials that regulate temperature and internal moisture within the footwear, reducing the risk of maceration.
- Velcro-type adhesive leather strap closure for simple and precise fit adjustment, with no manual effort required.
Removable DiabCare® Insole
- Includes a removable DiabCare® anatomical insole with cushioning, stabilising and anti-slip functions.
- Being removable, it can be replaced with a custom orthopaedic insole prescribed by a podiatrist or orthopaedic specialist, adapting the footwear to each specific condition.
- Distributes load evenly, relieving pressure on the heel and metatarsal area.
Flexible Polyurethane Sole
- A flexible polyurethane sole that follows the natural movement of the foot throughout the gait cycle.
- Effective cushioning on every impact, reducing joint load on the knees, hips and spine.
- Grip and stability on urban surfaces, both indoors and outdoors.
Who Is the Abril DiabCare® Shoe Suitable For?
- People with diabetic foot who need footwear without internal seams and with extra space in the forefoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Abril DiabCare® Shoe suitable for diabetic foot with neuropathy?
Yes. The DiabCare® D'Torres® line is designed for feet with reduced or altered sensitivity. The interior free from aggressive seams, breathable materials and the extra-wide K Last minimise pressure points and friction, reducing the risk of skin lesions associated with diabetic neuropathy. We always recommend consulting your podiatrist or medical team for an individual assessment.
Can I use my custom orthopaedic insoles inside the Abril Shoe?
Yes. The removable DiabCare® insole can be taken out and replaced with the custom orthopaedic insole prescribed by your podiatrist or specialist. The depth of the interior chamber and the width of the K Last are designed to accommodate higher-volume insoles without compressing the foot.
What sets the D'Torres® K Last apart from a conventional wide last?
The D'Torres® K Last goes beyond a simple wide last: it is designed specifically for feet with structural deformities such as bunions (hallux valgus), hammer toes or metatarsalgia, providing extra space in both the forefoot and toe area without sacrificing heel fit or the aesthetics of the footwear. It is the result of decades of artisan orthopaedic manufacturing in Elche.
