How Do I Apply My Darco Post-Op Shoe?

When injuries are involved, it's vital you take good care to apply any rehabilitative wear carefully. Please follow the instructions below to make sure your Darco Rehabilitation Shoe fits perfectly:

  1. Measure the dimensions of your foot carefully against the sizing chart below
  2. Once you receive the correct size, loosen both sets of straps completely
  3. Carefully place your foot inside the shoe until the entire insole is covered
  4. Gently tighten the bottom strap that runs across the bottom of the foot
  5. Finally, slowly tighten the second strap until the shoe fits comfortably

Who Can Benefit from the Softie Post-Operative Shoe?

Designed for use after a foot operation, the Darco Softie Shoe provides you with rigidity and control of the forefoot. This helps with conditions that have been operated on like:

  • Hallux Valgus
  • Bone fractures that have healed crookedly
  • Bunions
  • Metatarsal surgery

Features and Benefits of the Darco Softie Shoe

  • Easy to fasten hook-and-loop straps
  • The patented semi-rigid metatarsal shank provides control of the forefoot motion
  • Provides excellent protection after osteotomies
  • Protects sensitive areas of the metatarsal heads after surgery
  • Tissue-friendly upper material conforms to any bony abnormalities and is also breathable
  • Can be easily fastened and loosened with one hand

Tri-Laminated Upper

The Darco Softie's very soft, breathable upper is made of a poly-cotton blend that conforms to the bony contours of your foot. This allows you to remain comfortable and cool even after extended periods of use.

Metatarsal Protection

A semi-rigid metatarsal shank permits enough flexibility for ambulation while providing superior control of forefoot motion to ensure that post-operative healing is not disturbed. This makes for superior protection after osteotomies.

This soft shoe has allowed my 17 year old to go back out and socialise after a very long traumatic 3 months of being house bound.

The only down side to this shoe is we would ideally like a waterproof insert to protect it from getting wet while out, as this is the only limitation for him with this shoe.

We searched for a long time for one that he actually felt comfortable wearing that he wouldn't feel self conscious in and this shoe ticked that box also
