The Darco All Purpose Boot is an orthopaedic device that’s designed to accommodate bulky dressings and most fiberglass casts on the foot, so that you can still walk around in public without exposing your foot and toes to the harsh elements. It fits comfortably over the foot with a closed-toe design so that you can keep your foot dry and safe from impurities, infection, or further injury. Essentially a shoe, the Darco All Purpose Boot is oversize on purpose so as to not put any unwanted compression or strain on the foot and toes while you wear it.
Also used as a physical therapy aid for post-surgical patients, the Darco All Purpose Boot is durable, versatile, and promotes optimum healing, so you can still go about your day worry-free.
