Description
The Ortho Wedge Healing Shoe in medium size accommodates men's shoe sizes 7-8 and women's sizes 8-9. This shoe features a 15-degree wedge sole designed to shift body weight from the forefoot to the midfoot and heel, clinically shown to reduce forefoot pressure by up to 57 percent, which supports faster healing for post-operative recovery or forefoot wounds. The square toe design provides added protection for toes, particularly when K-wires are in use, and offers a more secure left or right fit.
Functionally, an adjustable ankle strap ensures the foot stays firmly in place, minimizing heel slippage and friction. A removable forefoot closure eliminates pressure from buckles, while the zoned outsole includes aggressive tread under the midfoot for improved traction during movement. The insole is removable and features double the padding of standard insoles, allowing for modifications or complete removal to accommodate customizable off-loading options like the Peg Assist insole.
Ideal for individuals recovering from foot surgery or managing ulcers, this shoe promotes stability and comfort through its breathable materials and adaptable fit, making it a practical choice for daily use in rehabilitation scenarios.
