Price report, Q3 2026

Worth it or not

Medical supply shops and webshops around Phương Mai, on Phùng Hưng and in Hà Đông publish most of these prices, with a distributor of medi stockings, a national pharmacy chain and a foot and balance centre on Hoàng Cầu that scans feet and makes insoles. Braces, sticks and ready-made stockings are far cheaper than at home, most of all the knee brace, wrist brace and stick; custom insoles come in well under the Dutch price; travel or sport socks are not cheaper. Foot and gait assessment, made-to-measure shoes and stockings and forearm crutches have no price here.

The insole price is per pair, from one centre and dated earlier than most rows; the centre's page does not say whether the first examination is included, so ask. Check the knee brace is hinged: a seller may list one as an elastic band with folding side bars, and the dearest is out of stock. The pharmacy chain's wrist brace is a national webshop price, not a Hanoi shop quote. The flight is yours to add.
