Description
The OrthoWedge® Healing Shoe is specifically designed to protect the forefoot by reducing the pressure from the metatarsal head and digits during the weight-bearing portion of the gait cycle. The patented design of the shoe provides an off-loading mechanism which allows for faster healing and has a square toe design offering a better fit by eliminating toe overhang.
For added off-loading, the removable Insole can be taken out and fitted with a customised PegAssist® Insole. The main strapless fastening system can be removed and rotated to provide a left or right overlap with an additional ankle strap to give further comfortable fitting.
