The Darco OrthoWedge Shoe is clinically proven to effectively reduce weight bearing pressure from the forefoot to promote proper healing. The square toe design in front acts as a bumper to provide additional protection when K-wires are present and provides a better left/right fit. It promotes healing by reducing weight from the forefoot and may be used for any condition from the metatarsal heads distally in which it is desirable to reduce body weight such as ulcers, infections, trauma and surgery. The ankle strap eliminates heel slippage and removable forefoot closure eliminates buckle pressure.

dependable company
My husband must wear medical boots for the rest of his life. We used to buy locally for $50 a shoe. Years ago we found DME Direct. We now buy his boots for $50 a pair! These medical boots last about 3 months so we have saved a lot of money buying from DME. Also, the delivery is very fast. We live 600 miles away and always get them within 3 days after ordering. About 5 yrs ago we were in Southern Calif. and my husband's boots broke. I called DME. They gave me their address for the warehouse and I drove there to pick up the boots. They saved our vacation!!!

Thank you for the kind words, and thankyou for supporting "small business!"
Quick response and exactly what I ordered
I had originally ordered this from Walmart due to the price. Ended up never receiving it from the subcontracter and no assistance from them so I found your company. It had more information on the product, was easy to use and I got exactly what I needed in just a couple days. Thank you!
Great service!
Husband cannot walk on his feet without this Orthowedge shoe due to neuropathy in both feet from hip replacement surgery. We have been buying from this company since 2013 or earlier. Once we were in Los Angeles visiting family when one of the boots broke. We called DME-Direct and even though they are mainly "online" the man working at the warehouse that day allowed us to come in and pick up the boots. He saved our vacation! Also, we live out of state and the same boots, available in our town, cost twice the amount we pay through DME-Direct. As my husband needs a new pair every 3 months, the cost savings is very important to us, living on social security. Thank you.
Very satisfied
Ordered it on Wednesday and got it on Friday. What else could I ask for. Very satisfied.
Great help after foot surgery
Great help in keeping my foot protected after surgery. DME Direct was very helpful and kind. Highly recommended!
Great customer service
The website is very well designed for finding products and ordering and paying. Shipping was very fast. I would definitely buy products again and also recommend to all my friends.
Great product
Ordered this shoe after foot surgery to keep pressure off toes and front of foot. Allows partial weight bearing and increases stability when walking. The staff at DME Direct are also very helpful.
Great product!
My doctor suggested I order your shoe prior to surgery to correct three hammertoes. She gave me the web-site. I am very happy with your product.
Just what I ordered.
It was just what the doctor described. It is performing well.
Great alternative to a boot for 5th metatarsal fracture
In my 9th week since my 5th metatarsal fracture. It didn't heal but I can weight bear on my heel now and found the perfect footwear to protect my foot inside the house. I use my airboot outside and this shoe inside the house. Bought a medium based on prior reviews. It was perfect, I wear size 8-women. Most of my toes are covered. The two pieces that join under the ankle Velcro steep could be a little more cushier. The order was made and to my shock, it was already filled and shipped out early next morning! Great service!
