What Size Medi Shoe Do I Need?
As this shoe is designed to accommodate swelling and bandages, we recommend measuring your injured foot at its widest point while wearing the bandages you intend to wear with the shoe. Ensure that the maximum width of your swollen/bandaged foot is smaller than the width of the Medi Shoe size you select.
The Post-Operative Medi Shoe is available in five different sizes. We've measured the inner insole bed to give you the most accurate sizing information possible.
| Medi Shoe Size | Dimensions in mm (Length x Width) | Dimensions in cm (Length x Width) |
| Extra Small | 200mm x 80mm | 20cm x 8cm |
| Small | 230mm x 80mm | 23cm x 8cm |
| Medium | 270mm x 90mm | 27cm x 9cm |
| Large | 290mm x 100mm | 29cm x 10cm |
| Extra Large | 310mm x 120mm | 31cm x 12cm |
How Long are the Straps?
To ensure these shoes can accommodate your feet (particularly if you are experiencing swelling), please see the strap lengths below for each shoe size:
| Medi Shoe Size | Top Strap | Bottom Strap |
| Extra Small | 25cm | 23.5cm |
| Small | 25cm | 24cm |
| Medium | 26.5cm | 26cm |
| Large | 27cm | 25cm |
| Extra Large | 29cm | 27cm |
What If I Fall Between Sizes?
If you fall between sizes, we would recommend selecting the larger of the two sizes. This guarantees your foot will fit inside the foot bed and eliminates the risk of tightness and rubbing.
How Can the Medi Shoe Help Me?
If your foot is bandaged or swollen after surgery, then this post-operative Medi Shoe is the perfect way to recover in comfort. The adjustable buckles mean you can change the size of the fastenings as your swelling reduces. The ridged, non-slip sole reduces the chances of injury and the luxurious foam padding helps reduce pain when you walk.

Is the Post-Operative Shoe Adjustable?
To give bandaged or swollen feet the room needed, the Medi Shoe features adjustable straps for customisable use based on personal preference. The hook and loop straps allow the wearer to secure the shoe as loosely or firmly as they find comfortable.
How Tight Should I Fit the Medi Shoe?
While gentle compression can help reduce swelling - it's important not to tighten the Medi Shoe fastening straps too much as this can reduce circulation and lead to further complications. If you begin to feel any numbness or tingling it's recommended that you loosen the straps immediately.
