The OrthoWedge Healing Shoe was specifically designed to protect the forefoot by removing most of the pressure from the metatarsal head and digits during the weight-bearing portion of the gait cycle. This unique design makes the OrthoWedge a natural for the treatment of diabetic ulcerations. It also serves as an outstanding post-op shoe, appropriate for use after surgeries to correct hallux valgus, hammer toes, Tailor's bunions and other osteotomies with or without pins.
