A protective guard that fits over a standard post-operative shoe — shielding the toes and forefoot so you can move through recovery with confidence.
It shields the toes and forefoot — the surgical area most exposed to accidental contact — so patients can move through recovery with less worry.
Designed for post-surgical and post-operative recovery, it fits naturally into clinical care: easy to dispense at the point of care, simple to fit, and simple to explain.
StepProtector guards the surgical site so you can get back to walking the dog, running errands, and living your day — with your doctor's clearance.
A hidden Velcro strip inside the guard grips the post-op shoe — low-profile and lightweight for everyday wear.
For extra hold, thread the included Velcro strap through the loops on the side and front, then fasten it around the back.
Both methods use the included, reusable Velcro strap — no tools or extra hardware.
A rigid, impact-resistant polymer shell absorbs bumps and knocks before they reach the surgical area.
Straps fasten the guard over the post-op shoe for a stable, adjustable fit that stays put.
Detaches in seconds so it can be wiped down and kept hygienic between wears.
Protects from the outside without pressing on toes, sutures, or dressings.
Durable construction stands up to daily indoor and outdoor use throughout recovery.
A single SKU that fits existing DME and footwear lines and is easy to explain at the point of care.
Accidental kicks, stubbed toes, and clumsy drops happen. StepProtector takes the hit — so the surgical site doesn't.

No. StepProtector is a protective footwear accessory, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, or to accelerate or improve healing. Always follow the guidance of a qualified clinician and resume activities only as directed.
Two ways, both using the included Velcro strap: a concealed strip inside the guard for a low-profile everyday hold, or a wrap-around strap through the side and front loops and around the back for extra security.
No. The guard protects from the outside without pressing on toes, sutures, or dressings — it does not make direct contact with the foot.
