Insoles & footwear
Orthopaedic insoles & footwear in Thessaloniki
Custom orthotic insoles, diabetic and children's orthopaedic shoes, sports supports: it all starts with a proper assessment of your feet on our foot scanner in Thessaloniki.
Your feet carry your whole body weight with every step. When the way you stand and walk is not right, pain can appear in the heel, the knee or even the lower back. At Hlamidis Orthopaedic Center in Thessaloniki we assess how you walk with a foot scanner and recommend the solution you need: orthopaedic insoles, ready-made or custom, comfort and orthopaedic shoes, diabetic footwear and sports supports.
Where we start: the foot scan
On the Schein foot scanner, a treadmill with a built-in sensor plate, we measure how your weight is distributed across your soles when you stand, walk or run. The software calculates pressures, timings, step and gait symmetry, and the results are compiled into a report that is also useful for your doctor. See in detail what a foot scan and custom orthotic insoles involve.
Orthopaedic insoles: ready-made or custom
Based on the foot scan and your doctor's instructions, our staff may recommend ready-made insoles from the wide range of the German manufacturer Schein, or make orthotic insoles specifically for you. A newer option is 8Sole insoles, designed on a 3D scan of your foot and produced by 3D printing, in versions for everyday wear, formal shoes, sport and children.
Orthotic insoles may help with conditions such as flat feet, high arches (pes cavus), heel spurs and metatarsalgia, always in line with the diagnosis and instructions of the treating physician.
Orthopaedic and comfort shoes
Diabetic shoes
For people with diabetes, the right footwear is part of foot care. The diabetic shoes we offer, in partnership with the German company Schein, are made entirely of leather with no internal seams, designed to protect against friction and pressure, and made-to-measure pairs are also available. Our diabetic shoes page also explains what they are and how they help.
Children's orthopaedic shoes
Many orthopaedic conditions of the lower limbs appear in childhood, while the foot is still developing. Children's orthopaedic shoes, combined with insoles where needed, help with conditions such as flat feet in children, following the instructions of the paediatrician or orthopaedic surgeon.
Sports supports
To protect your joints during sport and while recovering from injury, we stock sports supports such as knee supports, wrist supports and ankle supports, in a range of sizes.
Insoles, footwear and EOPYY
EOPYY (ΕΟΠΥΥ), Greece's national health insurance organisation, covers certain insoles and shoes for people insured in Greece, provided the diagnosis on the doctor's referral is one of those listed in its price schedule, usually with a 25% co-payment by the insured person. As an indication, according to Government Gazette (ΦΕΚ) B' 1079/2022, the maximum reimbursable prices are:
- special insole made from a cast: €90 (every 6 months up to age 16, then once a year),
- custom diabetic insole: €34 per year,
- therapeutic diabetic shoes with insoles: €115 per pair, up to 2 pairs every 2 years,
- orthopaedic shoes: €51–250 depending on type and size (every 6 months up to age 16, then once a year).
The foot scan on its own is not listed as a separate benefit in the price schedule. Contact us so we can check what applies in your case, or see our page on EOPYY reimbursement. If you are not insured in Greece, EOPYY reimbursement does not apply; you can pay privately, and any cover depends on your own insurer's rules — contact us and we will give you the information you need for your case. The EOPYY information is correct as of the date this page was updated (October 2026).

What is the difference between orthotic insoles and off-the-shelf insoles?
Off-the-shelf insoles from ordinary shops offer general comfort and shock absorption. Orthotic insoles are chosen or made based on an assessment of your own feet, for example after a foot scan, and on your doctor's instructions, so that they support or offload specific areas. Depending on your case, we recommend ready-made orthopaedic insoles or custom-made insoles.
Do I need a foot scan to get custom insoles?
It is not always mandatory, but we recommend it, because it shows how your weight is distributed when you stand and when you walk. That way the insole is designed on the basis of measurements, not just on how your foot looks. See what a foot scan in Thessaloniki involves.
Does EOPYY cover orthopaedic insoles?
Yes, for people insured in Greece and for specific diagnoses listed in the EOPYY price schedule. The maximum reimbursable price is €90 for a special insole made from a cast and €34 for a custom diabetic insole, according to Government Gazette (ΦΕΚ) B' 1079/2022, usually with a 25% co-payment. You need a referral from a doctor of the relevant specialty.
What are diabetic shoes?
They are shoes designed for the sensitive diabetic foot: no internal seams, soft materials and plenty of room, to reduce the friction and pressure that can cause sores. We offer diabetic shoes both ready-made and made to measure, and EOPYY covers them for people insured in Greece with the diagnoses it lists.
Do you have orthopaedic shoes for children?
Yes. We offer children's orthopaedic shoes, for example for children with flat feet, and we make insoles specifically for the growing foot. For children up to 16, EOPYY allows more frequent replacement, every 6 months, for the diagnoses included in its price schedule. See our children's orthopaedic shoes.
