How can special shoes help my feet?

Special shoes can be made to fit softly around your sore feet or feet that have changed shape. These special shoes help protect your feet. Medicare and other health insurance programs may pay for special shoes. Talk to your doctor about how and where to get them.

Orthotics are a great way to keep your feet straight when you are walking. Some people walk inward and some people walk outward which puts stress on those certain parts of your foot.
