Footwear is one of the main causes of ulceration regarding this chronic disease. An in-depth study of the influence of footwear is necessary for the establishment of a prevention strategy for foot injuries. This paper aims to identify the type of footwear used by patients with Diabetes Mellitus and to analyse its characteristics and fit to the foot. Methods: The scientific literature was retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Dialnet databases that covered publications from 2016 to 2025. The inclusion criteria accepted articles that focused on footwear fit and its relationship with ulceration in diabetic patients. Results: A total of 27 articles were selected for study. These articles describe the fitting and features of footwear for a correct adjustment for people with Diabetes. Conclusions: Most of the population with Diabetes Mellitus use poorly adjusted footwear. Incorrect length and width, as well as unsuitable features of the sole and upper, cause patients to become susceptible to the creation of ulcers.MDPIPodologíaCTS1136: Patología y Función del PieCTS601: Hermes2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/180950https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm14238529reponame:idUS.
