Diabetic Shoes
At Corey's Bootery we carry P.W. Minor and Aetrex brand shoes. There are several varieties of the P.W. Minor available for men and women. The comfort of this shoe is unparalleled. The Aetrex for women is a very unique style for Diabetics. It provides the beauty of a dress shoe and the practicality of a casual shoe as well. A must see! The Aetrex for men is a traditional yet stylish "boat shoe". Imagine a "boat shoe" for diabetics.

Please provide a prescription from your Primary Care Physician. We will fill out all the appropriate information and obtain the necessary documentation from your physician. We will file the claim with Medicare and any secondary insurance you may have. We will make this process as stress free as possible. If you have any questions please feel free to call our office at 269-349-2247. We will be happy to set an appointment for you with one of our Certified Pedorthist's on staff. We will provide an assessment in one of our private exam rooms.
Please be reminded that if you qualify for the shoes, Medicare will also allow you 3 pair of custom inserts per calendar year. On the day of your appointment the Pedorthist will take impressions of your feet for the custom inserts. These inserts provide preventive care for the Diabetic foot throughout the year. Good health to you!
