When it comes to keeping your feet comfortable and supported, sometimes the right pair of shoes can make all the difference. Orthopedic shoes are designed to help with a variety of foot concerns, from flat feet and arthritis to bunions and chronic pain, and they can provide lasting relief and stability for people of all ages.
Unlike regular footwear, orthopedic shoes are built with features that promote proper foot alignment and reduce stress on your joints. They often include a wider toe box, extra depth for orthotics, firm heel support, and cushioned soles that absorb shock with every step.
At Footprint, our Chiropodists can assess your feet and, if appropriate, prescribe orthopedic shoes to support your unique needs. Whether you’re managing a medical condition or simply looking for more comfort and support, we can help you find a pair that fits your lifestyle.
Did you know most insurance plans cover orthopedic shoes?
Many extended health benefit plans provide coverage for off-the-shelf orthopedic shoes, as long as they’re prescribed by a Chiropodist or other recognized foot specialist. This means you can access high-quality, supportive footwear while also taking advantage of your insurance benefits.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, our team can guide you through what’s typically required, including the prescription, receipts, and supporting documentation your insurance provider may need.
Why see a Chiropodist?
Chiropodists are foot care experts trained to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the feet and lower limbs. During your visit, we’ll assess your gait, alignment, and footwear needs to determine whether orthopedic shoes, custom orthotics, or other treatments are best for you.
