Post-Op Shoe Square Toe
The Post-Op Shoe Square Toe is a semi-rigid post-operative shoe built around a forefoot support, designed for patients walking after osteotomy or other forefoot surgery. The square toe box provides clearance for bulky dressings that a rounded last would compress, and the extra-long straps close fully over them. It runs from Children through XL, so one article number covers both paediatric and adult use. Article number DG-107, black.

Overview
What This Product Is and Does
The Post Operative Shoe with its famous semi-rigid sole is built around our forefoot support, that provides more rigid control and better protection after osteotomies. Our breathable upper conforms to bony abnormalities of the foot and has a reinforced heel counter and padded heel collar to stabilize the rear foot and re-duce slippage. Extra-long straps accommodate even the bulkiest dressings.
Key Benefits
What It Gives the Buyer
- Semi-rigid sole with integrated forefoot support limits forefoot flexion to protect the surgical site during walking
- Square toe box is shaped for dressing volume, not foot silhouette, so it does not compress post-operative dressings
- Breathable upper conforms to bony abnormalities instead of forcing the foot into a fixed shape
- Reinforced heel counter and padded heel collar stabilize the rear foot and reduce slippage
- Extra-long straps close fully over the bulkiest dressing without losing fit
- Seven sizes from Children to XL let one article number serve both paediatric and adult clinical needs
Applications
Where It Is Used
- Discharge footwear after bunion correction, metatarsal osteotomy or other forefoot surgery
- Ward stock in orthopaedic and podiatric departments for immediate post-operative walking
- Clinic dispensing where dressings are changed frequently and the shoe must reopen fully
- Homecare and pharmacy retail for patients continuing recovery after discharge
- Foot and ankle rehabilitation where controlled forefoot loading is part of the protocol
Who It Is For
Who Buys This Article
- Medical device distributors stocking a full post-operative footwear range across sizes

Problems Solved
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Ordinary footwear compresses post-operative dressings and forces the surgical forefoot to flex
- Round-toe post-op shoes run out of room once the dressing is bulky so the strap will not close
- Shoes without a reinforced heel counter let the foot slide forward onto the surgical site
- Buyers splitting paediatric and adult footwear across suppliers end up with two sizing logics
- Distributors sourcing from small workshops cannot keep sole stiffness consistent between reorders

Use Guide
Fitting and Care
- Measure the dressed foot rather than the bare foot before choosing a size
- Open the straps fully and seat the heel against the heel counter before closing anything
- Close the straps from the rear forward so the heel stays back in the shoe
- Keep strap tension firm enough to stop sliding but not tight over the dressing
- Reopen the straps fully at each dressing change rather than forcing the foot in and out
- Wipe the upper clean rather than machine washing so the bonded sole is not stressed

FAQ
Questions Buyers Ask Before Ordering
What sizes does the DG-107 come in
Children, XXS, XS, S, M, L and XL, so one article number covers paediatric and adult use. Size to the dressed foot, not the bare foot.
Will it close over a bulky post-operative dressing
That is what the square toe box and the extra-long straps are for. The forefoot area is shaped for dressing volume and the straps have enough length left to close over it.
Can you supply it under our own brand
Yes. Private label branding on the shoe and on the retail packaging is standard OEM work here, along with your own carton marking and barcodes.
What quality system is it made under
Shanghai Da Gao holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certification and the shoe is produced on that certified site.
What is the minimum order quantity and the lead time
Both depend on the size assortment and on whether the order is private label. Email [email protected] with your sizes and quantities and you will get the figures for your own order.
Do you hold regulatory clearance for my market
The site is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016. Market specific registration is handled with the buyer case by case, so tell us the destination market and we will confirm what documentation is available.
How is it packed for export
Shoes are paired inspected and packed before baling. Carton marking size assortment and labelling follow what the buyer specifies for their distribution channel.
