There is a long clinical tradition in the use of footwear and offloading techniques for the prevention and healing of plantar foot ulcers in the diabetic patient. Unfortunately, ulcers in the plantar aspect of the foot represent just a part of the entire wounds that we are use to see in our clinical daily practice. It is important for these reasons to use a sort of offloading algorithm in order to offer the best offloading methods according to the site lesion. This algorithm could allow the health care providers to talk the same language everywhere and to offer the same treatment worldwide.
