Are Propet shoes suitable for diabetic feet?
Yes. Many Propet models are A5500 Medicare-certified diabetic footwear, meaning they meet Medicare's requirements for therapeutic shoes for people with diabetes. These models may be eligible for reimbursement through healthcare providers and insurance plans when prescribed by a doctor.
What widths does Propet offer?
Propet offers one of the widest selections of sizes and widths in the comfort footwear industry, ranging from Narrow (2A) up to XX Wide (5E) depending on the model. This makes Propet an excellent choice for people who struggle to find shoes that fit.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles with Propet shoes?
Yes. Many Propet shoes are designed with removable insoles — some models even include double insoles — so you can easily swap them for custom orthotics. The extra depth accommodates most standard and over-the-counter orthotic inserts.
Do Propet shoes run true to size?
Sizing can vary by model. Some customers report a slightly larger fit, while others find certain styles narrower than expected. We recommend having your foot measured professionally before purchasing. At Comfort Clinic, our staff can help you find the perfect fit.
Are Propet shoes good for walking and light exercise?
Absolutely. While Propet is best known for orthopedic and therapeutic footwear, the brand also offers supportive sneakers for light running, workouts, and everyday walking. Popular athletic lines include TravelFit and Stability series, featuring flexible outsoles, breathable mesh, and lightweight cushioning.
