Dynamic Forefoot Offloading ShoeIf you're preparing for foot surgery or you're recovering from an injury or operation, you might be wondering if you'll have to go barefoot until you have completely recovered. A postoperative shoe is a great option for protecting your foot from bumps and cold weather while it's healing. A post op shoe lets you do the limited movement your surgeon recommends. It has a rigid heel support to keep your foot in place and helps you put weight on your heel.
