A pedorthist will fit you for the footwear that may help you walk or perhaps avoid an amputation. By Roger Marzano Y ou've got a prescription for therapeutic shoes in hand.
Many people go to pedorthists to be fitted with therapeutic shoes.
About half of pedorthists work in orthopedic shoe stores, and half work in foot clinics or orthotic-prosthetic facilities. Either way, you'll want to call for an appointment. If your feet tend to swell during the day, make an afternoon appointment. It will take about 30 minutes for the pedorthist to measure and fit your feet. Ordinarily, the pedorthist won't charge you for his or her time, just for the shoes and inserts you get.
