Orthopedic shoes are special type of shoes designed to accommodate footwear needs of individuals possessing one of several foot disorders, medical conditions or diseases. This type of shoes are designed for the patients who are suffering from issues such as plantar fasciitis, hammer toes, blisters, bunions, foot injuries, heel spurs, alignment issues of the musculoskeletal system, unequal leg length, diabetes, etc. Moreover, orthopedic shoes are best for those who are suffering foot-related disorders such as wider toe box, or need orthotic insoles for arch support. Orthopedic shoes are worn by people of all ages who suffer from poor foot mechanics as they are specifically designed to support the structure and mechanics of the foot, ankle and leg.
In most of the countries, the cost of orthopedic footwear is reimbursed. For instance, in the U.S. a medical doctor must diagnose an individual’s medical issues and provide a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) for the individual’s expense in purchasing orthopedic shoes. Insoles and arch supports for orthopedic purposes are completely reimbursed in most of the countries.
