Frequently Asked Questions

What makes APIS shoes different from other diabetic shoe brands?
APIS Footwear Co. specializes exclusively in medical and hard-to-fit footwear — it's all they do. Their shoes are built with more internal volume than most diabetic brands, making them the go-to choice for patients with Charcot foot, severe edema, or custom braces that don't fit inside standard extra-depth shoes. APIS also offers a custom shoe program with 3D scanning for patients whose feet can't be accommodated by any off-the-shelf option.
Does APIS make shoes for children?
Yes — APIS is one of the few orthopedic brands that makes children's shoes specifically designed for braces and orthotics. Their kids' models feature wider openings and extra toe room to accommodate UCBLs, AFOs, and corrective braces. Children with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, clubfoot, and other developmental conditions often need this level of accommodation that standard children's shoes can't provide.
What is the relationship between APIS, Mt Emey, FITec, and Answer2?
This collection includes all four brands from APIS Footwear Co. Mt Emey is the comfort and lifestyle line — diabetic shoes, kids' orthopedic shoes, work boots, and post-op footwear. FITec focuses on athletic and walking shoes with extra depth. Answer2 is built specifically for AFO and KAFO brace wearers. The APIS-branded line covers the most medical-grade models — Charcot shoes, triple-depth accommodators, and super-depth footwear for the hardest-to-fit feet. Use the filters on the left to narrow by gender, style, or condition.
Are APIS shoes covered by Medicare?
Most APIS shoes carry the A5500 billing code, qualifying them for 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 through a prescription from their doctor and fitting by a certified pedorthist. Check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details and copay amounts.
Can I buy APIS shoes with my HSA or FSA card?
Yes — APIS 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.
