The company works closely with orthopaedic specialists, biomechanical researchers and rehabilitation experts to create clinically driven products that improve patient comfort, safety and recovery outcomes.

Post-Operative Shoes

DARCO post-op shoes are designed to provide stability, cushioning and protection during recovery after surgery. By redistributing pressure and supporting proper alignment, these shoes help reduce the risk of complications and promote faster, safer healing for patients following forefoot, midfoot or rearfoot procedures.

Fracture and Cast Boots

DARCO fracture boots are built to deliver secure immobilisation while allowing controlled mobility during rehabilitation. Lightweight, adjustable and easy to fit, these boots help patients maintain independence and comfort throughout the healing process. Their durable design makes them suitable for a wide range of injuries and post-cast care scenarios.

Diabetic and Wound Care Footwear

For patients with diabetes or ulceration, DARCO offloading shoes provide targeted pressure relief to protect vulnerable areas of the foot. These products are designed to aid wound healing and prevent re-ulceration by reducing shear forces and redistributing load — an essential part of effective diabetic foot management.

DARCO Range Highlights

DARCO is well known across Australia for its exceptional range of orthopaedic footwear and rehabilitation products. Designed with input from clinicians and biomechanics experts, DARCO shoes and boots are a mainstay in post-operative care, trauma management and diabetic wound protection throughout hospitals, podiatry clinics and rehabilitation settings nationwide.

MedSurg Shoe

The DARCO MedSurg Shoe is widely regarded as the gold standard in post-operative footwear. It provides excellent stability and protection following surgery, featuring a semi-rigid sole that supports the foot while allowing natural gait movement. This helps reduce pressure, prevent complications and support faster recovery. With an adjustable strap system and extra depth, it comfortably accommodates dressings and swelling — making it one of the most trusted post-op shoes in Australian clinical practice.

OrthoWedge Healing Shoe

The DARCO OrthoWedge Healing Shoe is specifically designed to offload pressure from the forefoot, shifting weight to the heel to aid healing. It’s ideal for patients recovering from forefoot surgery or managing diabetic ulcers. By relieving strain and protecting delicate tissue, the OrthoWedge supports faster recovery and reduces the risk of re-ulceration — an essential solution in diabetic wound care management.

All-Purpose Boot (APB)

The DARCO All-Purpose Boot (APB) is a versatile, closed-toe medical boot designed to safeguard the foot and ankle during recovery. Its protective upper keeps bandages and wounds clean and dry, while its lightweight, durable construction provides stability and comfort for day-to-day wear. The APB is a clinic favourite across Australia for both trauma and post-operative use.

SlimLine Cast Boot

The DARCO SlimLine Cast Boot accommodates bulky bandages or casts while allowing patients to stay mobile and comfortable. Its low-profile design minimises bulk without sacrificing protection or support, making it an ideal choice for post-cast care and fracture management.
