Darco Wedge Shoe

The Darco Wedge shoe is useful during recovery from forefoot surgery, or surgery at and around the toes of the foot.  It is designed for heel walking only, thereby taking pressure off the part of the foot which has been operated on.  

In this video we first demonstrate the proper way of walking with it, on the heel only.  

Then, the wrong way of walking on it also is demonstrated, with the patient incorrectly rolling to the front of the shoe.

More information about the Darco Wedge shoes is available on Dr. Carreira's website.
