What Is a DARCO Shoe?
A DARCO shoe is medical footwear designed to protect the foot during recovery from surgery or injury.
DARCO post-operative footwear can be used following:
- Foot surgery
- Toe surgery
- Bunion surgery
- Forefoot surgery
- Broken toes
- Metatarsal fractures
- Foot injuries
- Wounds and dressings
- Other situations where a normal shoe may not be suitable
DARCO makes several different types of post-operative footwear. The best option depends on the location of your injury and the instructions you've received from your surgeon, podiatrist or physiotherapist.
DARCO MedSurg Shoe Adelaide
The DARCO MedSurg Shoe is a post-operative shoe designed primarily for forefoot and toe recovery.
Its adjustable straps provide room for swelling and dressings, while the rocker sole is designed to make walking easier during recovery when weight-bearing has been permitted.
The DARCO MedSurg Shoe may be used following:
- Toe surgery
- Bunion surgery
- Forefoot surgery
- Broken toes
- Metatarsal injuries
- Other forefoot injuries
- Post-operative recovery

- Wounds and dressings
- Swelling
- Injuries requiring additional foot protection

DARCO OrthoWedge Adelaide
The DARCO OrthoWedge is different from the MedSurg Shoe and All Purpose Boot.
It is designed specifically for forefoot offloading, helping shift pressure away from the front of the foot.
The OrthoWedge may be recommended following certain types of forefoot surgery or where reducing pressure on the forefoot is important.
If you've been prescribed an OrthoWedge, view the DARCO OrthoWedge or contact us to check availability.
Which DARCO Shoe Do I Need?
DARCO makes different types of post-operative footwear, so the right product depends on your injury or surgery.
| DARCO product | Common use |
|---|---|
| DARCO MedSurg Shoe | Toe and forefoot surgery, fractures and post-operative recovery |
| DARCO All Purpose Boot | Greater coverage and protection for foot injuries and recovery |
| DARCO OrthoWedge | Forefoot offloading following certain surgery or injuries |
If your surgeon, podiatrist or physiotherapist has recommended a particular DARCO model, follow their recommendation.

Can You Walk in a DARCO Shoe?
DARCO post-operative shoes are designed to allow walking when your healthcare professional has permitted weight-bearing.
The rocker sole on the DARCO MedSurg Shoe is designed to help reduce pressure on the forefoot while walking.
However, a DARCO shoe does not automatically mean that you should put weight through an injured or operated foot.
Always follow the weight-bearing instructions provided by your surgeon, podiatrist or physiotherapist.
How Long Do You Wear a DARCO Shoe?
The length of time you need to wear a DARCO shoe depends on your surgery or injury.
Some people may only need post-operative footwear for a short period, while others may need it for several weeks.
Your healthcare professional should tell you how long to use your post-operative footwear and when you can return to normal shoes.
What Size DARCO Shoe Do I Need?
DARCO shoes come in different sizes and models.
Your foot may be swollen following surgery or injury, and you may also need room for dressings or bandages. This means your usual shoe size may not always be the correct fit.
Check the sizing information for the specific DARCO model before ordering.
If you're unsure which size you need, contact Bettacare Mobility before purchasing.
Can I Use an Even Up With a DARCO Shoe?
A post-operative shoe can make one foot higher than the other, which can affect your walking pattern.
The Even Up Shoe Balancer can be worn over the shoe on the opposite foot to help compensate for the difference in height.
Only use an Even Up if it is appropriate for your individual situation and does not conflict with your healthcare professional's instructions.
