No Cost Shoes, a Florida-based therapeutic shoe company that specializes in pedorthics, is pleased to announce the launch of its website http://www.NoCostShoes.com. The site provides an easy and convenient way for diabetic patients to locate healthcare professionals and obtain free diabetic shoes and inserts. Through No Cost Shoes, those suffering from diabetes can now find podiatrists and certified pedorthists anywhere in the nation, receive an accurate fitting, and order new therapeutic shoes at no cost. Generally Medicare and insurance companies cover the cost of one pair of diabetic shoes and three pairs of custom insoles per calendar year. By going to NoCostShoes.com, patients can safely enter their information online, receive the forms necessary for a fitting, and find the closest participating therapeutic shoe professional in their area. There are no out-of-pocket expenses, so this service saves patients both time and money.
No Cost Shoes connects patients with medical professionals for a faster and more convenient custom shoe experience. “As a Board-Certified Pedorthist, I understand the importance of fit when it comes to diabetic shoes,” commented Marc Vetrano, President of No Cost Shoes. “We created NoCostShoes.com to educate Americans with diabetes about the benefits of properly fitted shoes and full contact inserts. Our goal is to link Podatrists, Pedorthists, Orthotists, and Prothetists with potential customers.” He added, “We hope to help patients avoid the expense of obtaining a referral, dealing with the hassle of driving across town, and then trying to find a diabetic shoe store. Our web site is an efficient and economical solution for diabetics. It provides a list of healthcare professionals in your area, and it bridges the inconvenient gap that exists between doctors and patients.”
Diabetics often experience “peripheral neuropathy,” described as a loss of sensation in the extremities. Patients require customized shoes for safety and medical protection. Ill-fitting shoes often pinch feet excessively and can lead to ulceration and foot injury. In addition, they cause uneven weight distribution and improper air circulation. Properly designed and fitted shoes improve blood circulation, prevent pressure ulcers and allow the skin to breathe. One in four Americans with diabetes will develop serious foot problems related to the disease. However, proper footwear can help diabetic patients avoid unnecessary complications, alleviating foot pain and preventing injury.
No Cost Shoes offers a wide variety of attractive therapeutic shoes and diabetic sneakers. The company’s selection includes medical-grade footwear, as well as depth and custom shoes. No Cost Shoes provides patients with over 300 styles of women’s and men’s quality shoes that complement custom-molded inserts. No Cost Shoes was developed by a Certified Pedorthist to assist diabetics and help them receive properly fitted shoes from qualified healthcare providers around the United States.
