I have a patient that is allergic to pretty much everything. I asked the
patient's allergist for a Rx listing her allergies. He wrote: Latex free
shoes, must be hypoallergenic, free of petroleum products and free of wool.
Dx: multiple allergies to synthetic products. I have exhausted my options
and cannot find a shoe that will work for her. My best bet was a PW Minor
shoe but they can't guarantee anything. I would prefer made in the USA so I
can talk to someone on the production end that can watch the whole process.
The patient will pay almost anything to have a pair of shoes she can wear.
Her current shoes have no glue and are Amywear. Any suggestions?
