Peg-Assist Insole, Square-Toe

The Peg-Assist Insole (Square-Toe) is a specialized off-loading insert designed to relieve pressure from targeted areas of the foot during injury recovery or wound management. Ideal for use with square-toe post-op shoes and cast boots, this insole features a grid of removable “pegs” that allow clinicians or patients to create a customized off-loading zone, reducing pressure on ulcers, surgical sites, or sensitive areas.

By selectively removing pegs beneath the affected region, weight is redistributed away from the injury, helping promote faster healing and enhanced comfort. A durable felt top layer maintains stability across the remaining pegs, while a supportive base helps absorb shock during walking.

Perfect for diabetic foot ulcers, metatarsal injuries, forefoot wounds, post-operative care, and general pressure relief, the Peg-Assist Insole provides a precise, adjustable solution that fits seamlessly into most square-toe medical footwear.
