DARCO International is dedicated to being the leading provider of post op, trauma and wound care solutions to the global foot and ankle community.

Still the #1 post op shoe after 25 years.

H. Darrel Darby, DPM, founded DARCO International in 1985 after growing frustrated with the design and performance of the wooden sole post op shoes that dominated the market at that time. Dr. Darby began experimenting with the idea of incorporating running shoe technology into post op shoe design. The result was the revolutionary original DARCO MedSurg™ post op shoe.

Since then, DARCO has redesigned the outsole to reduce pressure under the heel and toe by over 25%, added a removable insole, an ankle strap to eliminate heel slippage and a unique square-toe for increased protection. These updates led to the biggest improvement in post operative protection and comfort since DARCO introduced the first MedSurg™ Shoe twenty-five years ago.
