Darco Complete Medical Heel Wedge Healing Shoe, Large, 0.94 Pound

I tried Iwalk,crutches and this shoe.I had a tumor removed from my heel and had to stay off of it for 3 WEEKS. This shoe allowed me to walk with only a cane, I inserted a wedge insole and it was absolutely no pressure on my heel when I walk .

fits well and comfortable to wear.

Bought this as an upgrade for my dad while he heals from a wound on his heel. Smaller (not clunky) and more sturdy than his previous boot that was issued by the hospital. Works great!

I purchased this at the recommendation of an Orthopedic MD to wear while walking in order to keep my weight off a heal that has a couple of micro fractures. It took 3-4 days to get used to walking on my forefoot but the device does work as hoped. I wear a size 11 men’s shoe and the large fits my foot. The main drawback is with the ankle strap. It is very long and the Velcro just barely connects to keep the shoe secure. There is no way I can see to adjust it to make it shorter. The only other drawback is that it took 8-10 days to arrive after ordering. I knew that was likely to be the case once the order was placed but I did not have another source for this device but since I’m used to 1-2 day shipping with Prime and really wanted to start using this ASAP the shipping time was a disappointment.

Not very sturdy, but not expensive. The downfall is the heel splits. Cheap enough to buy, which I did after 2-1/2 months.
