The DARCO OrthoWedge Off-loading shoe⁄ is clinically proven to reduce weight bearing pressure on the forefoot which promotes faster healing after surgery trauma or when forefoot wounds or ulcerations are present
15¯ wedge sole effectively shifts body weight to the midfoot and heel. Reduces forefoot pressure by as much as 57%!
Square toe design acts as a bumper to protect the toes when k-wires are present and provides better left/right fit
Ankle strap seats foot firmly in shoe to reduce heel slippage and eliminate friction
Removable forefoot closure provides security while eliminating buckle pressure
Zoned outsole has an aggressive tread under the mid-foot where traction is needed most
Removable Insole features twice the padding of standard insoles and can be modified as needed. Insole can be totally removed to accommodate DARCO s innovative Peg Assist customizable off-loading insole
Optional Peg-Assist Insoles available: use 1471A-1471E

Post-Op Healing Shoes

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

Post-op shoe vs. walking boot — which do I need?

Post-op shoes are for soft-tissue recovery, toe surgery, and minor foot procedures. Walking boots (CAM boots) are for ankle fractures, Achilles injuries, and more severe immobilization. Your surgeon will specify which is appropriate.

How long should I wear a post-op shoe?

Typically 4–6 weeks after foot surgery, but varies by procedure. Your surgeon will specify weight-bearing status and duration at each post-op visit.

Are diabetic slipper socks different from regular ones?

Diabetic socks are seamless, non-binding, and moisture-wicking to reduce skin breakdown and ulceration risk. Facility slipper socks add tread patterns on the soles for fall prevention during hospitalization.

Can I drive in a post-op shoe?

Generally, no — especially for the right foot in automatic vehicles or either foot in manual. Confirm with your surgeon before resuming driving, as post-op footwear changes pedal response time.
