Video Transcription

Video Summary

Select the appropriate post-op square toe shoe size using the patient's shoe size and the manufacturer's catalog. Remove the shoe from its packaging and loosen all Velcro straps. Trim the strap length if needed using the extra Velcro provided. Ensure the patient's heel is firmly positioned at the back of the shoe before securing the Velcro straps snugly. Check that the toes are not overhanging and confirm with the patient that there are no irritations. Have the patient stand and walk to ensure comfort and proper fit.
