How to get orthopedic shoes for free if such a need arises? First you need to visit an orthopedist, and then the Social Security Administration. This organization will provide a document stating that interested parties are entitled to benefits. It is with him that they go to the official orthopedic center to order the necessary shoes.
State law states that a child who needs corrective shoes is entitled to free orthopedic shoes. But few people are aware of this fact. Moreover, in order to receive for free in the Russian Federation what is supposed to be free of charge, the interested person should show an extraordinary mind, great patience and perseverance. Yes, and you can’t do without certain tips. But first, it would be nice to understand what corrective shoes are and what their features are.
Corrective shoes: who needs them and why?
The task of orthopedic shoes is to treat, correct and prevent disorders of posture, gait, and flat feet. She has great amount advantages over a regular pair of shoes or boots:
- such shoes have a structure that helps correct progressive foot deformities;
- its tailoring takes place taking into account all sanitary and hygienic standards and requirements;
- It is possible to manufacture such products to order according to the child’s personal parameters, taking into account the testimony of the orthopedic doctor.
But the main advantage that orthopedic shoes for children have is preserving the health of children, because no medications or exercises will help so much in the correct formation of the foot, gait, and posture.
How to get free correction shoes?
The government decree states that a child under 16 years of age can count on receiving free corrective shoes in the amount of two pairs (summer and winter) once a year, and should also be provided with free orthopedic insoles (one pair every six months). For people with disabilities, this norm has been increased: they are required to be provided with 4 pairs of corrective shoes per year. But how is it issued?
To get orthopedic shoes, which, as the law says, is due to every child in need, you must first see an orthopedic doctor. The specialist will conduct an examination, check the condition of the feet and posture, and also send you for x-rays. If deviations are revealed during the examination, the doctor will write out a specific direction for the manufacture of corrective shoes and insoles.
Then you need to find out whether this particular child is eligible to be provided with corrective shoes for free. For this purpose, visit the Office social protection population. It is there that the decision is made regarding the provision of preferential correctional shoes. Such a decision is made on the basis of certain documents indicating the preferential status of a person.
This could be documentation from the clinic indicating the diagnosis and doctor’s orders, confirming the preferential status of the paper (a document indicating the status of a mother of many children, confirming disability, pension certificate), as well as a civil passport. As a rule, free correction products are provided:
- disabled people;
- children who need foot correction;
- large families (three or more children in a family);
- socially vulnerable layers of citizens (with income below the established subsistence level).
After receiving a document from the Social Security Administration that a certain person is entitled to free corrective shoes, you can immediately go to an orthopedic shoe manufacturing point (salon, workshop). If there is a need to produce complex orthopedic shoes, then it is much easier to place an order at a factory for the production of corrective shoes. Wherever a person turns, it is natural that he needs to cooperate with an organization that has official status, which can easily issue the necessary papers (invoice, cash receipt).
As a rule, they must contain the name of the organization, its legal address, the type of services provided to the person, as well as their cost. It goes without saying that such a document must have the seal of the enterprise.
Important nuances
In any center for the production of orthopedic shoes chosen by a person, they are sewn according to the instructions of an orthopedic doctor. Such shoes are not given away for free, that is, you still need to pay for them yourself. But in the future, such persons are entitled to compensation from the Social Security Administration if they provide the above documentation.
There is also another very important nuance: although there is reimbursement for the costs of corrective shoes, such compensation has a certain limit - this is the amount beyond which parents will not be reimbursed. So this detail should be taken into account when choosing the right product at the orthopedic center. But this, of course, is not a problem if parents are not embarrassed by the difference that they will need to pay extra from their own pockets. In addition, an important point is that free shoes are provided only to children with foot deformities. So you shouldn’t rely on this option if the child only needs to prevent flat feet.
