This surgical shoe, with its unique semirigid sole, is built around a patented MetaShank forefoot support that provides more rigid control and better protection after osteotomies. The breathable mesh upper conforms to bony abnormalities of the foot and has a reinforced heel counter and padded heel collar to stabilize the rear foot and reduce slippage. Extra-long straps accommodate even the bulkiest dressings. Shoe conforms to foot throughout entire gait cycle.
