Post operative shoes are designed to protect and support the foot following surgery, injury, or other medical treatments. They help maintain stability, reduce swelling, and keep weight off sensitive areas while walking or standing. These shoes are commonly used after procedures such as bunion removal, toe correction, or fracture repair, providing a safe and comfortable way to move during recovery.
Made with firm soles and adjustable closures, post foot operation shoes ensure proper fit and support while preventing unnecessary movement of the affected area. The Darco Med Surg post operative shoe is one of the most trusted options, featuring a lightweight design, rigid sole for forefoot protection, and a breathable upper for comfort. Its open-toe design allows for bandages or dressings without added pressure.
