Frequently Asked Questions
Are Drew shoes made in the USA?
Yes. Drew has been manufacturing therapeutic footwear in the United States for over 100 years. Their shoes are designed, engineered, and assembled domestically with a focus on quality control and consistency — particularly important for medical-grade footwear where fit precision directly impacts patient outcomes for conditions like diabetic neuropathy and plantar fasciitis.
Are Drew shoes covered by Medicare, HSA, or FSA?
Yes. All Drew shoes carry A5500 Medicare coding, qualifying them for the Medicare Therapeutic Shoe Program for patients with diabetes. Medicare may cover one pair per year with a physician prescription and pedorthist fitting. Drew shoes are also eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement as medical-grade therapeutic footwear — keep your receipt and prescription for your plan administrator.
What widths do Drew shoes come in?
Drew offers one of the widest width ranges in therapeutic footwear — from Narrow (2A) through Extra Extra Wide (6E), depending on the style. This makes Drew an excellent choice for patients with bunions, edema, or naturally wide feet who can't find proper fit in standard retail shoes. The extra-depth construction adds vertical room for custom orthotics on top of the width options.
Can Drew shoes accommodate AFO braces and custom orthotics?
Yes. Drew's extra-depth construction and removable multi-density footbed system are specifically designed for AFO braces and custom orthotics. Your pedorthist can remove insole layers to create the exact volume needed for your orthotic device. Many Drew styles also feature blucher (open-throat) lacing systems that allow the shoe to open wider for easier insertion of braces.
How do Drew shoes compare to other orthopedic brands?
Drew is consistently ranked among the top therapeutic footwear brands alongside Dr. Comfort and New Balance. Drew's advantages are: American manufacturing, the widest style variety (nearly 200 models), extensive width range (up to 6E), and over a century of therapeutic footwear expertise. The trade-off is a higher price point ($170-$340), but the A5500 Medicare coding and HSA/FSA eligibility offset the cost for many patients.
