Darco All Purpose Boot (APB™) delivers premium four-season postoperative foot protection with a closed-toe design, relaxed rocker sole, and adjustable ankle support. Ideal for surgical recovery, trauma, wound management, and offloading applications, this lightweight, versatile boot fits both left and right feet.
The Darco All Purpose Boot (APB™) sets the gold standard in post-operative footwear. Designed with a durable closed-toe structure, it protects surgical dressings, toes, and casts in all seasons. The Darco APB All Purpose Boot features a deep toe box and rounded front, offering maximum versatility for bulky dressings and fiberglass casts.

Key Features and Benefits of the Darco APB All Purpose Boot
Relaxed Rocker Sole for Natural Gait
The Darco APB Boot promotes smoother movement while reducing plantar pressure under the forefoot and heel — supporting faster recovery.
Square-Toe Protection
Built-in bumper shields the toes while improving fit for both right and left foot wear.
Secure High-Top Ankle Support
Adjustable ankle strap locks the heel into place to minimize friction and unwanted movement inside the boot.
Forefoot Pressure Relief
The removable forefoot closure eliminates buckle pressure and allows easy access for wound inspection or dressing changes.
Superior Traction Outsole
Zoned tread pattern enhances grip exactly where needed — under the midfoot — for added safety indoors or outdoors.
Double-Padded Removable Insole
Twice the cushioning of standard insoles; easily modifiable or replaceable with PegAssist™ Offloading Insoles.
MetaShank™ Technology for Added Support
Internal metatarsal shank provides rigid support beneath the forefoot to offload pressure from wounds or surgical sites.
Lightweight EVA Outsole
The newly designed EVA sole is 20% lighter than previous models and delivers 150% better rebound, helping maintain optimal shape and support over time.
