Post-op Square Toe Shoe Identify the appropriate size post-op shoe for the patient by referring to their shoe size. Using the manufacturer's catalog, locate the matching size post-op shoe for their shoe size. Remove the post-op shoe from packaging and loosen all Velcro straps. Note, there is an extra piece of Velcro that can be used if you need to trim the length of the strap for application. Have the patient put their foot in the post-op shoe, ensuring their heel is placed firmly in the back. Close the Velcro straps, snug to fit. Examine the shoe, ensuring the patient's toes are not hanging over the edge, and ask the patient if there is anything irritating to them. Have the patient stand and ambulate to ensure there is no irritation.
