The Darco OrthoWedge Post Op Shoe: Darco Products - Focused on the Foot and Ankle
The Darco OrthoWedge Post Op Shoe was designed to lessen pressure to the forefoot area caused by weight so that one could properly heal. The OrthoWedge post op shoe comes with a square toe design that offers two things: a better fit on either the right or left foot and extra protection. Weight will be shifted back to the midfoot and heel due to the 15° dorsi-angle and one will gain more stability because of its wide base. Patients won't have a problem with heel slippage or buckle pressure because this post op shoe comes with an ankle strap and a detachable forefoot closure. The 10mm insole is removable and has more than twice the padding.- Please Note: The Darco OrthoWedge Shoe for Post Op Care is sold in singles not pairs. This Shoe fits both the right and left foot.

Product Reviews
FAQs
Is the Darco OrthoWedge good for plantar fasciitis?
Yes — the Darco OrthoWedge is an excellent choice for plantar fasciitis. Its arch support, shock absorbing, and removable footbed help reduce strain on the plantar fascia — the band of tissue along the bottom of your foot that causes heel and arch pain.
What widths does the Darco OrthoWedge come in?
The Darco OrthoWedge is available in Medium (B/D). The extra-depth design and removable footbed give you room to swap in custom orthotics or accommodate swelling.
What does the rocker bottom sole do on the Darco OrthoWedge?
The rocker bottom sole on the Darco OrthoWedge promotes a smooth, rolling gait from heel strike to toe-off. This reduces pressure on the ball of the foot and forefoot joints, making it particularly helpful for metatarsalgia, Morton's neuroma, and arthritis.
