Product Description

The Darco OrthoWedge Healing Shoe is one of the most trusted off-loading solutions for forefoot wounds, ulcers, and post-operative recovery. Engineered to shift body weight toward the heel, the OrthoWedge significantly reduces pressure on the forefoot—up to 57%—helping promote faster, safer healing.

Its innovative 45° wedge design completely off-loads the forefoot, making it ideal for patients recovering from surgical procedures, diabetic ulcers, bunion corrections, hammertoe surgery, and other conditions requiring reduced forefoot pressure.

The shoe features a wide, square toe box for added protection, a rigid sole for stability, and adjustable hook-and-loop closures for a secure, customized fit. Lightweight yet durable, the OrthoWedge is comfortable for all-day wear and fits on either the right or left foot.
