The DARCO MedSurg Shoe is designed to provide the foot with solid protection and easily accommodate bulky bandages. It features a square-toe design to provide added protection for the toes. The sole has a metal shank design that supports the metatarsal region when walking. The DARCO MedSurg Shoe has a hook and loop closure across the front, which can fit up to a 17-inch circumference from large bandages and dressing. It also eliminates any added pressure caused by more traditional D-ring closures that can irritate the forefoot area.
Very aggressive tread at the midfoot provides superior traction. The reduced-friction tread at the toe and heel helps accommodate toe drag and scuff, minimizing the risk of accidental tripping. The elastic strap around the front of the ankle prevents the product from slipping off the heel. The DARCO MedSurg has a rocker bottom sole designed to reduce pressure on the bottom surface of your foot by up to 25% for a more comfortable walking experience.
