If you have any questions about sizing please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@opedmedical.com for assistance. If you are in between sizes we generally recommend that you choose the smaller size.

Ask your doctor for VACOped Diabetic Achilles Boot
You have the right to ask for the best product available. VACOped Diabetic is often covered by Medicare and private insurance. You can also ask your surgeon if you can buy the VACOped Diabetic by yourself and use it for your injury.
