The DARCO OrthoWedge™ Light shoe is clinically proven to off-load pressure from the forefoot by 57% by shifting weight to the heel. This promotes faster healing after surgery, trauma or when wounds or ulcerations are present at the forefoot.
The square toe design acts as a bumper to protect the toes and provides better universal left/right fit. The ankle strap holds the foot firmly in the shoe which helps to reduce heel slippage and friction.
Its removable insole features twice the padding of standard insoles and can be modified as needed. The insole can be removed to accommodate DARCO’s innovative Peg Contour Uni customizable off-loading insole.
