Please note, we cannot offer refunds for any of our custom products (Custom Accommodative Inserts, Partial Foot Toe Fillers, and/or Shoe Modifications). However, we will rework these items at no additional cost. In addition, if a “mismate” pair of shoes is ordered, the 50% upcharge applied to the order is nonrefundable.

Fitting Tips
It’s important to note that all shoe manufacturers use their own lasts to construct their footwear. As a result, the continuity of fit from one manufacturer to the next can be very inconsistent. At Anodyne, we designed our shoes to fit fuller in the instep and toe box, relative to other diabetic shoe companies, in order to better accommodate a thicker orthotic and any potential swelling. Nonetheless, our shoes, in general, fit slightly larger than our competitors’ do. Please see our fitting tips below, based off of recommendations from our in-house Pedorthic team.
Women's Styles -
In relation to other diabetic footwear companies, our women’s shoes run a half size to a full size bigger. Based on a standard brannock or our foot measuring device, we recommend the following sizing:
- If in-between sizes, round down to the nearest ½ size
- If in-between widths, round down to the smaller width
Men's Styles -
In relation to other diabetic footwear companies, our Men’s shoes run the same length. Based on a standard brannock or our foot measuring device, we recommend the following sizing:
- If in-between sizes, round down to the nearest ½ size
- If in-between widths, round down to the smaller width
While following these tips will help you select the best size/width combination, it’s very important to use one of our fitting centers to actually try the shoes on the patient. All of our shoes are made on the same last, so they should fit virtually the exact same, no matter what style the patient tries on.
