DiabCare® Anatomical Shoe Irma 26 Black Patent | K+ Last

Irma 26 Black Patent — DiabCare® D'Torres®: orthopaedic footwear for feet that deserve care

The Irma 26 Black Patent belongs to the DiabCare® D'Torres® Orthopaedic Footwear line, designed specifically for people with diabetic foot, extra wide feet, bunions (hallux valgus), hammer toes or very sensitive feet. Handcrafted in the D'Torres® workshops in Elche, Alicante, it combines an elegant black patent aesthetic with maximum podiatric protection.

DiabCare® Technology: comprehensive protection for the diabetic foot

The DiabCare® line incorporates a complete system of clinical features designed to eliminate any point of pressure, friction or risk of injury in feet with reduced sensitivity or compromised circulation. Every detail of the Irma 26 Black Patent has been conceived to provide safety, comfort and functionality without sacrificing a refined aesthetic finish.

K+ Last: maximum width for feet with special needs

The Irma 26 Black Patent is built on the D'Torres® K+ Last, the widest last in our entire collection. This maximum-width last has been developed to accommodate feet with severe deformities, oedema, advanced diabetic foot or any condition requiring additional space in both the forefoot and midfoot. It is also ideal for those who need to fit high-profile orthopaedic insoles without compromising fit or comfort.

Key features of the Irma 26 Black Patent

• D'Torres® K+ Last: maximum width in the collection, specifically designed for feet with deformities, oedema or the need for high-profile orthoses.
• Seamless interior: total elimination of friction points that could cause rubbing, ulcers or lesions on sensitive skin.
• Breathable materials: promote temperature regulation and moisture management, reducing the risk of maceration and skin infections.
• Removable DiabCare® insole: allows easy replacement with custom orthopaedic insoles prescribed by a podiatrist or physician, maintaining the necessary internal space thanks to the K+ Last.
• Anti-slip polyurethane sole: provides secure traction on different surfaces, reducing the risk of falls and offering stability with every step.
• Double fastening system: enables a personalised and secure fit, adapting to variations in foot volume throughout the day, which are common in cases of oedema or fluid retention.
• Black patent design: a versatile and functional finish that pairs with multiple styles, suitable for both everyday use and occasions requiring greater elegance.
• Handcrafted in Elche, Alicante: quality control at every stage of the production process, a guarantee of traditional Spanish orthopaedic footwear craftsmanship.

Frequently asked questions about the Irma 26 Black Patent

Can I use my custom orthopaedic insoles inside the Irma 26 Black Patent?

Yes. The DiabCare® insole is fully removable, allowing it to be replaced with the custom orthopaedic insoles prescribed by your podiatrist. Furthermore, the K+ Last provides the depth and width necessary to accommodate high-profile insoles without reducing the internal space of the footwear or compromising comfort.

How does the K+ Last differ from other D'Torres® lasts?

The D'Torres® K+ Last is the widest last in the entire collection. It is designed for feet with severe deformities, pronounced oedema or space requirements far exceeding those of standard orthopaedic footwear. If other wide lasts have not proved sufficient, the K+ Last represents the highest-capacity solution available at D'Torres®.

Is the Irma 26 Black Patent suitable if I have diabetic foot with loss of sensation?

Yes. The Irma 26 Black Patent has been specifically designed for the diabetic foot. The absence of internal seams eliminates the main sources of friction and pressure that can give rise to ulcers in feet with neuropathy. The breathable materials help maintain a healthy skin environment, and the anti-slip polyurethane sole reduces the risk of falls. Always consult your podiatrist or specialist physician to confirm that this model is suited to your specific clinical situation.
