Our Diabetic Shoe Program offers many different styles of Diabetic Shoes for men and women.  If youare on Medicare, have diabetes with poor circulation or peripheral neuropathy,and a foot deformity, you may qualify for Diabetic Shoes.  Some private pay insurances cover diabetic shoes as well.  If you are diabetic, schedule an appointment today for a diabetic foot evaluation and to discuss your Diabetic Shoe options.

Important facts about the diabetic shoe program:

• Just because you are a diabetic, does not mean you can qualify for the shoes. You must have diabetes plus a foot deformity or pressure spot on your foot such as a pre-ulcerative callus
• The program includes 1 pair of shoes per calender year with 3 pairs of heat molded or custom molded inserts.
• The need for therapeutic shoes must be certified by a physician who is an M.D. or D.O. and who has the primary responsibility for treating the patient’s systemic diabetes.
• Document in the patient’s medical record the presence of one or more of the following conditions:
  a. Previous amputation of the other foot, or part of either foot, or
