摘要
A wedge outsole of generally triangular shaped configuration as viewed from a side thereof is integrated to an insole and shoe upper of a post- operative surgical shoe. The outsole has a flat top surface integrated to the bottom surface of the insole, with the outsole having a thickest portion of a wedge located under a part of the foot just in front of the heel, preferably centered, with the proximal portion of the arch of the user's foot. An integral, substantially thinner portion extends rearwardly from and underlying the heel of the foot from the thickest portion, thereby defining a rearwardly extending recess. The shoe insole comprises a frontal section overlying the outsole from the thickest portion of the tapering outsole to the toe end of the shoe of an impact absorbing material of medium density and a rear section underlying the heel of the foot such as a soft foam or gel to cradle and protect the heel, thereby relieving the shoe of a weight bearing heel portion and facilitating ambulation of the foot about a rocker edge remote from the heel to avoid heel strike during ambulation.
