It depends on your policy/coverage. Mine wouldn't cover shoes for PN UNLESS I had "diabetes", in which case they were covered completely.

Check with your insurance carrier or review your policy before your appointment, then explain the situation to your doctor.

Even if they're not covered by insurance, they can be paid for out of a Health Savings Account or Healthcare Reimbursement Account if you have either of those.
