You really should have at least a slipper even in when you get out of bed to go to the bathroom or whatever so that your foot is protected. It is in your best interest to wear your diabetic shoes everyday. If you go to a special event like a wedding and want to wear fancy shoes, you would want to make sure you have your diabetic shoes in the car or somewhere nearby so that you can get right back into them right after the event. You wouldn't want to go much more than 3 or 4 hours, and you would certainly want to be very careful if you are dancing or something like that.
