Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 At Childrens hospital in Seatte the total cost of the shoes and bar is $277. My insurance paid for her last pair so hopefully they will pay for this pair too. Robin & Rose Wray wrote: $67.00. $144 is ridiculous!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 We paid 125.00 for the shoes and bar. So, of course, we thought that the next time when we only had to get the shoes it would be alot cheaper. WRONG! We were still charged 115.00. I questioned the people at the shoes store and I was told the shoes were 65.00 and they charged us 50.00 to put them on the bar. I was not a very happy person, since I had taken the shoes off and put them on again many times with no problem, and I could have put the shoes on the bar for free. I think there are many places out there that will try their best to take advantage of you if they can. Bonnie B.

Today, I chose to go to a different orthopedic store and my total was $144.00. I about fainted! I couldn't believe the price difference for the same EXACT pair of shoes. The store that charged me $144 stood firm on their price and said that is what " they " charge and I'm welcome to go back to the other store. I just couldn't believe it. So....my question is.....how much should they really cost? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Good God! Those prices are ridiculous~! Has anyone found a good place to buy the shoes from that won't stick it to you for something stupid like this (mounting the shoes)? Maybe information like that should be in the files section here? I would be willing to maintain a database of good places to buy shoes from if y'all want to send me the information. Once there's a few places listed I'll post it on the website. Kori (still reeling from the though of a $50 fee for mounting the shoes... a couple of screws... do they think we're complete idiots??)
