About Lesson

shoe fit

The To Fit Shoe section has several fields that allow a user to indicate particular fitting requirements.

Brand

A laboratory may provide additional shoe brand options for quick fitting selection.

Shoe Code

A user may input a particular code that assists laboratory technicians to a particular shoe.

For example, if you are selecting Revere from the Brand list, then you will need to enter the Shoe Code. This can be found on the inside of the shoe alongside the sizing information. If your laboratory offers Revere as a brand option, then this code will allow technicians to correctly size Machined EVA orthoses for a perfect fit.

Refer to Insole Template

The Refer to Insole Template checkbox allows a user to quickly indicate that a template has been attached to the prescription from the Notes & Attachments page of Orthotics By Design Prescribe.

Shoe Provided

The Shoe Provided checkbox allows a user to quickly indicate that a shoe has been sent directly to the laboratory for reference. The orthoses will likely be placed on-hold until the shoes arrive at the laboratory.
