How Can Special Shoes & Insoles Help the Patients' Feet?

Special shoes can be prescribed to comfortably fit and protect your sensitive feet or can be specially made to fit softly around your feet or feet that have changed shape. These special shoes help protect your feet. Along with shoes, custom insoles can be made to perfectly fit your feet to protect them while wearing the special shoes. Medicare and other health insurance programs may pay for special shoes. Talk with your doctor about how and where to get them. Very often your doctor can take a scan of your foot to have the special insoles custom made for your feet. He or she may also be able to provide the special shoes for you at the same time.
