Footshield II Offloading Wedge Shoe

Following surgical intervention, your foot is extremely vulnerable and proper care must be taken to ensure a smooth recovery. The Footshield II Offloading Wedge Shoe features an angled design which has been clinically proven to reduce weight bearing pressure on the forefoot and can also be modified to accommodate bulky dressings.

How Can the Wedge Shoe Help Me?

The Footshield II Shoe is recommended for relieving diabetic ulcerations of the forefoot. The unique shoe reduces the amount of pressure on the forefoot, while simultaneously accommodating thick dressings.

What’s Included With My Purchase?

The Wedge Shoe can be purchased as a single product for the left or right foot or with the Footshield Hex Insole included. The unique design of this insole allows specific offloading of pressure on the plantar area of the foot.
