Effective Off-Loading Footwear
The Heelwedge Healing Shoe
The lightweight Heelwedge is clinically proven to off-load pressure from the heel by over 26%, by shifting weight to the mid and forefoot to promote faster healing after surgery, trauma or when wounds or ulcerations are present on the heel.
It promotes healing by transferring the weight from the rear foot towards the forefoot thus reducing the load on the heel area.
Upper Section
Made with a breathable Tricot foam-lined black nylon mesh contouring to the foot and incorporating a padded dorsal flap. The strapless fastening system can be removed and rotated to provide a left or right overlap. The removable forefoot closure provides security while eliminating buckle pressure and can expand to accommodate bulky dressings.The ankle strap seats the foot firmly in the shoe to reduce heel slippage and eliminate friction.
Sole Section
The short wedge redistributes the weight forward and the square-toe design acts as a bumper and provides protection and a better fit by eliminating toe overhang. The zoned outsole has an aggressive tread under the mid-foot where traction is needed most and the rocker bottom encourages a smooth toe-off while maintaining a stable mid-foot base. The removable insole features twice the padding of standard insoles and can be modified as needed. The insole can be totally removed to accommodate the innovative Peg-Assist customisable off-loading insole for an even more targeted off-load.
