Straight last shoes
Anyone btdt? Podiatrist suggests straight last shoes for DS so unsuspecting me walks into shoe store and gets a quote of $149 for a single pair of straight last hiking boots by Markell http://www.markellshoe.com/thomasHeels.html The regular Markell boots are only $99 plus the $29 rubber sole topy addition. http://www.markellshoe.com/tarsoCorrective.html
Price shock - I don't spend this much on my shoes. If we have to go with these we will but I'm hoping someone out there knows of another manufacturer for straight last shoes.
Also - does anyone's insurance cover shoes if "prescribed"? I'll call my insurance on Monday, just wondering if anyone else btdt. We had a heck of a time getting my insurance to cover DS's orthotics.
The podiatrist has no other suggestions regarding shoe brands.
TIA!
