Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi Stacee, is getting the shoes from an ortho (and an orthodics co. always adds a large markup) to try to get her insurance to cover the cost. If you buy them directly from , the cost is much less. I believe that they are somewhere around $300 US. He makes these shoes by hand, they are not mass produced at this point, this is why they cost so much. There is a pic of them in the photo's section under if you want to check them out.
