Darco APB Post-Op Shoe

The Darco APB Post-Op Shoe is designed for patients recovering from foot surgery, fractures, or those requiring protection over a fiberglass cast. This all-purpose boot offers closed-toe protection year-round, keeping dressings clean and toes dry while supporting the healing process. Its square toe design acts as a natural bumper for K-wires, giving surgical sites extra room and reducing the risk of irritation or pressure.

Inside the shoe, a removable EVA insole allows for full customization, letting clinicians or patients off-load specific pressure points as needed for comfort and healing. The wider sole and deep opening accommodate large dressings, bandages, and casts without crowding the foot, while the wide ankle strap keeps the foot securely seated in place, eliminating heel slippage during wear.

Built with a rocker bottom sole, this post-op shoe encourages a smooth, natural roll-through gait pattern and reduces plantar pressure on the heel and forefoot by more than 25%. The MetaShank construction reinforces the sole beneath the metatarsal heads to further limit motion and support stability. A strapless forefoot closure rounds out the design, offering secure, uniform fit without the discomfort of buckles or straps digging into sensitive skin.

Available in a unisex Medium size fitting women's 8–9 or men's 7–8, the Darco APB in black is a reliable choice for post-surgical recovery, orthopedic support, and everyday post-op mobility needs.
