Casandra E5 Metal Grey – DiabCare® D'Torres® Line for Diabetic and Very Sensitive Feet
The Casandra E5 Metal Grey Shoe belongs to the DiabCare® D'Torres® line, designed specifically for the care of diabetic feet and particularly sensitive feet. It combines premium materials with artisan construction that prioritises protection, comfort and adaptability, without compromising on a contemporary and elegant design.
Materials and Construction
Outer Upper
Crafted from adaptable cowhide leather combined with elastic lycra, the upper moulds to the natural shape of the foot, providing gentle support with no pressure points. The combination of both materials ensures breathability, flexibility and long-term durability.
onSteam® Interior Lining
The interior is lined with the technical onSteam® microfibre, which feels 100% similar to natural leather. It promotes breathability, reduces moisture and keeps the foot in a healthy environment throughout the day — a fundamental aspect of diabetic footwear.
No Aggressive Internal Seams
The DiabCare® construction eliminates or protects all internal seams that could cause rubbing, abrasions or ulcers on fragile or reduced-sensitivity skin — an essential feature for diabetic patients or those with any peripheral vascular condition.
D'Torres® K Last – Extra Wide Interior Space
The Casandra E5 is built on the D'Torres® K Last, an extra wide last designed to safely accommodate wide feet, hallux valgus (bunions), hammer toes or any other deformity requiring greater interior space. It prevents lateral compression and allows the toes to rest in their natural position.
Fastening and Closure System
The upper features adjustable velcro straps that allow a personalised fit throughout the day, adapting to possible fluctuations in foot volume (oedema, swelling), without compromising the stability of the shoe.
Removable DiabCare® Anatomical Insole
The DiabCare® insole is anatomical, cushioning, stabilising and anti-slip. Its design promotes uniform distribution of plantar loads, reducing pressure points. Being fully removable, it can be replaced with custom orthopaedic insoles prescribed by a podiatrist or specialist, without affecting the fit of the shoe.
Sole
The flexible polyurethane sole absorbs impact with every step, provides lightness and offers secure traction on a variety of surfaces. Its flexibility naturally accompanies the movement of the foot, reducing fatigue.
