About this product
Recovering from forefoot surgery, bunionectomy, or procedures involving K-wires requires protective footwear that accommodates dressings while reducing pressure on healing tissue. The Darco MedSurg Square Toe Shoe delivers targeted protection with a removable double-padded insole, square toe bumper design, and rocker sole technology that decreases plantar pressure by over 25% across the forefoot and heel.
Key Features
- Square toe bumper design shields the forefoot and provides clearance when K-wires are present post-surgery.
- Removable double-padded insole offers full customization and accommodates optional PegAssist off-loading inserts for ulcer management.
- MetaShank Protection reinforces control under the metatarsal heads to stabilize the forefoot during ambulation.
- Strapless closure system eliminates buckle pressure on sensitive areas and expands to fit dressings up to 17 inches in circumference.
- Rocker sole redistributes weight away from the surgical site, reducing stress on the forefoot and heel during recovery.
- Pediatric variant includes an ankle strap to prevent heel slippage and zoned outsole traction under the midfoot.
