What If I Fall Between Sizes?

What If My Measurements Conflict?

If your width and length measurements conflict, we recommend selecting the size that best accommodates your length measurement, as there is more room for manoeuvre at the side of this shoe than at the end.

Can the Shoe Be Used With an Insole?

The Darco Boot features a fully removable insole which can be replaced with a Darco Peg Assist Insole to enhance comfort when required. The insole is ideal for significant pressure offloading at precise points of the foot.

Does the Post-Surgical Shoe Successfully Relieve Pressure?

The images below demonstrate the decrease in pressure to the forefoot area that can be attained by using the Darco MedSurg Shoe.

Comfort and Protection

The excellent pressure relief qualities that this shoe can provide makes it an extremely comfortable and forgiving post-surgery aid. While the Rocker Sole reduces pressure on the heel and forefoot, the MetaShank protection allows for a high level of rigid control over the metatarsal heads.

To ensure a perfect fit, the strapless closure can expand to 43.2cm (17″) in circumference while eliminating buckle pressure on the forefoot.
