The DARCO HeelWedge™ is a heel offloading half shoe which is clinically proven to reduce heel loading by 26%. This promotes faster healing after surgery, trauma or when wounds or ulcerations are present on the heel. The square toe design acts as a bumper to protect the toes and provides better universal left/right fit. The ankle strap holds the foot firmly in the shoe which helps to reduce heel slippage and friction. Its removable insole features twice the padding of standard insoles and can be modified as needed. The insole can be removed to accommodate DARCO’s innovative Peg Assist™ customizable off-loading insole.
