Comfort support for your feet after an operation
After foot, knee or hip surgery, an important phase of rehabilitation begins. In addition to physiotherapy and medical supervision, choosing the right shoes is also important. Suitable models can help you walk safely, reduce the risk of falling and provide stability for your musculoskeletal system. It is crucial that the shoes are adapted to your individual situation and agreed with your doctor or physiotherapist.
SHOES AFTER FOOT SURGERY
After foot surgery – when transitioning from bandaged or forefoot relief shoes to regular shoes – certain features are particularly helpful:
• Non-slip sole: A rubber sole with good grip can prevent slipping.
• Space for insoles and swelling: Removable insoles and extra depth make it easier to use orthotics or insoles.
• Stretchable material: Flexible upper materials and a wide toe box can reduce pressure in case of swelling or bandages.
• Secure fit: A closed heel and Velcro or lace fastenings ensure that the foot is held securely in place.

After knee surgery, such as prosthetic replacement, safety and stability are particularly important:
• Fall prevention: A non-slip outsole is recommended.
• Insole compatibility: Removable insoles provide space for orthopaedic insoles.
• Breathability: Knitted or mesh materials can help regulate heat and moisture.
• Ease of use: Stretch materials or slip-on designs can make shoes easier to put on and take off.

The choice of footwear after surgery should always be made on an individual basis and in consultation with the treating specialists. Slip resistance, stability, insole compatibility and breathable materials can help to improve safety and comfort during the rehabilitation phase. With the right choice, you will gradually regain confidence in your movements – and can look forward to greater safety and suitability for everyday use.
