Meets The Therapeutic Shoe Bill
The therapeutic shoe bill is very specific.  Not all shoes fit the bill. The Dr. Zen shoe meets and exceeds the requirement of the therapeutic shoe bill providing not only an orthopedic shoe which can be used for a diabetic, but a diabetic shoe designed for the diabetic. The difference is noticed by the patients. 

Large Range Of Sizes And Widths
With fittings so important to the safety of the diabetic foot, we maintain a large range with full widths and fittings from 4-14 and in all half sizes.
