Crocks

[Guest guest]

Hi Rick and all,

I wear Crocks because they slip on and off so easily.

Now, I will also say that there must be two types of Crocks, one are those

sold by Wal-Mart and the like while the other are sold by merchants who

supply clothing and other supplies to medical personell.

I had a pair of Crocks which were *extremely* well padded on the sole and,

man, were they comfortable. They were also around $30 while the Wal-Mart

variety were in the $5 neighborhood.

You mean your foot doctor actually recommended Crocx shoes? I was under the

impression that Crocx weren't particularly good for Diabetics so I'm

interested to hear that. Are they the normal every day Crocx found in

stores, or are they specifically designed for Diabetics?

I wear the diabetic shoes, which have special made inserts in them. They

are not particularly " in " , looking like nurses' shoes. They do come na

number of colors. Buty they very comfortable. I wear Crocks during the

summer as recommended by foot doc

Custom made shoes?

Hey there guys.

When I went to the podiatrist a few weeks ago, I was told that my insurance

covered 1 pair of custom made shoes and I think that is per year but not

sure. Anyhow, they submitted the request for them and I found out that it

was approved so I am going in tomorrow to get measured by the Doctor.

Has anyone on this list ever had this done? It's great that it is covered

so I would think that this would be something that others might be

interested in. I'm wondering what the shoes are really like and if folks

can really notice the difference when wearing them. I usually wear Crocx

because I have trouble finding really comfortable shoes so I'm looking

forward to giving these a try once they come in. Would be interested in

anyone else's experience with made to order shoes. They are made by a

company called Dia-Foot. Can't help but wonder if they might be ugly with no

sense of fashion to them at all. (lol)
