The Darco MedSurg Shoe is designed to provide the foot with solid protection and accommodate bulky bandages with ease. It features a square- toe design to provide added protection for the toes. The sole has a metashank design that provides added support to the metatarsal region when walking. The Darco MedSurg Shoe has a velcro 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 heel scuff, minimising 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 which is designed to reduce pressure on the bottom surface of your foot by up to 25% for a more comfortable walking experience.
