Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 someone posted recently that you can get them through Stride Rite. Can't vouch for it but it's worth a try. Also, I'd think that about any orthotics shop would be able to order them for you. if you can't find them, call Markell Shoe and ask them to point you to an outfit near you. They should know who sells them in your area. Perhaps someone on the list has an old pair in the size that you need, it's worth a post asking people if any are available. I have sent all our old pairs to list members or I'd offer up some myself. You never know... What size do you need anyway?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sherri, Call around to shoe stores in your area. Just about any of them should be able to order the shoes for you. I'm not sure whether or not you need a prescription. You can look at the Markell site for more information as well: http://www.markellshoe.com Where are you in CA and who is treating your son? We are on the North Coast (Eureka/Arcata area), our son is being treated at the Shriner's in Sacramento.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi, when you said your son's insurance will no longer cover the shoes, it made me curious. Does he have a different insurance carrier now, or did they put a cap on the length of time they would purchase the shoes? Seems to me like since they are medically necessary at least until age 3, you could fight it. Where have you gotten the shoes from up until now? You can't buy them from that source? Are there any med supply stores in your area? You can always order directly from Markell.com. Donna > > We need to purchase Markell shoes for our son since his med coverage no longer pays for them.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Markell shoes can be purchased at Stride Rite stores. At least that is what a Stride Rite sales person told me when they saw 's Markell shoes one day.
