Darco Softie Post-Op Shoes are designed for patients recovering from surgery, fractures, or wound care on the foot and toes. The open-sandal construction accommodates bandages, casts, and dressings without pressure, while the poly/cotton upper and hook-and-loop closure adjust to swelling that's common after a procedure. The wide, square-toe box protects the forefoot and lets you get the shoe on and off without bending or straining a healing area.
Sizing follows shoe size rather than generic small/medium/large alone — the men's black models run from Medium (fits male 8.5–10) through X-Large (fits male 12.5–14), so match the patient's regular shoe size to the listed range. A common question is whether both feet need one: Softie shoes are sold singly, so you order only for the surgical foot. Their flat, non-skid sole helps reduce slip risk during limited weight-bearing.
