sores on toes and heels
by: VB on Wed, Sep 26 2007

My husband has developed sores on toes and heels which are difficult to heal. I need a sleep-type booties because these sores appear to be from rubbing his heals and toes on the bed covers while he sleeps. He also has Parkinson’s disease which no doubt causes the feet movements and the diabetics make the sores possible and difficult to heal. Does anyone know of a sleep bootie that would stop this problem? or any solution?
