Frequently Asked Questions

Can this boot be worn directly over a fiberglass cast?
Yes. The Darco Slimline Cast Boot is specifically designed for use over fiberglass casts and bulky compression bandages. The square-toe design and strapless forefoot closure accommodate the additional volume of a cast without applying pressure to the forefoot or toes. Sizing up may be necessary depending on cast thickness.

What does the rocker sole do?
The rocker sole is curved from heel to toe, allowing the foot to roll forward through the gait cycle without requiring full ankle dorsiflexion. This facilitates a more natural walking pattern when ankle motion is restricted by a cast or bandage.

Is the EVA sole insert removable?
Yes. The 10 mm EVA sole insert is removable, allowing the boot to be used with or without the additional cushioning depending on preference and the thickness of the cast or bandage. Removing the insert may also be necessary to achieve a proper fit when the cast adds significant height to the foot.

How do I select the correct size?
The Adult Medium fits men's shoe sizes 7 to 8 and women's shoe sizes 8 to 9. Smaller (Small) and larger sizes (Large, X-Large) are also available in the Darco Slimline line. When fitting over a cast, consider sizing up to ensure adequate room for the cast volume without pressure on the toes or forefoot.
