    Felt Padding 101: The Low-Tech Offload That Heals Diabetic Foot Ulcers

    28/1/2026 | 13 min
    In this practical episode Dr. G shows how felt padding — an adhesive-backed wool or synthetic material cut to create a pressure "donut" — can redistribute plantar pressure and promote healing of diabetic foot ulcers.

    He covers why offloading matters, supplies and step-by-step application, clinical evidence, a real case demonstrating substantial pressure reduction and healing, and common pitfalls with troubleshooting tips.

    Key takeaways: felt padding is affordable, customizable and effective when paired with proper footwear and monitoring; replace regularly and watch for skin breakdown or shifting.
