FAQ / Orthopedic Footwear & Foot Care

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.
