Frequently Asked Questions

What does PDAC-verified mean for Apex diabetic shoes?
PDAC (Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding) verification means an independent review board has confirmed that Apex shoes meet Medicare's strict requirements for therapeutic footwear. Every Apex shoe carries the A5500 billing code, which qualifies them for coverage under Medicare's Therapeutic Shoe Program. Eligible patients with diabetes can receive one pair of extra-depth shoes and three pairs of custom inserts per calendar year — your doctor writes the prescription, and a certified pedorthist fits the shoes.
What foot conditions are Apex shoes designed for?
Apex shoes address a wide range of conditions beyond diabetes. The extra-depth construction and removable footbed system make them effective for diabetic neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, bunions, arthritis, hammertoes, Morton's neuroma, and flat feet. Select models like the Moore Balance and MBS Hiker also offer AFO accommodation for patients who wear ankle-foot orthoses.
What styles does Apex offer for men and women?
Apex carries one of the widest style ranges in therapeutic footwear. Women's options include walking shoes, trail runners, Mary Janes, boat shoes, monk straps, and oxfords. Men's options include athletic walkers, runners, dress oxfords, chukka boots, loafers, and boat shoes. Every style shares the same therapeutic foundation — biomechanical footbed, multi-density midsole, and A5500 coding — so you get medical-grade support without looking like you're wearing a medical shoe.
How do Apex shoes differ from regular orthopedic shoes?
Three things set Apex apart. First, every shoe is PDAC-verified for Medicare — not all orthopedic brands carry this certification. Second, the biomechanical footbed uses a contoured, multi-density design that distributes pressure away from problem areas rather than just adding cushion. Third, the protective interior features soft padded uppers with no rough seams — critical for patients with diabetic neuropathy who can't feel friction or pressure points that could lead to ulcers.
Can I buy Apex shoes with my HSA or FSA card?
Yes — Apex orthopedic shoes are eligible for HSA/FSA purchase at HealthyFeetStore.com through our TrueMed partnership. The key requirement is that you must check out as a guest — do not log into your Shop account, as it bypasses the HSA/FSA payment option. For step-by-step instructions, visit our HSA/FSA payment guide or read our complete guide to using HSA/FSA for orthopedic products.

Apex Foot Health has built its reputation on one principle: therapeutic shoes should look and feel like regular shoes.
