Surgical shoe for receiving an orthotic insert

A looped shaped body configured to be positioned within a surgical shoe, the surgical shoe having a shoe element configured to be worn on a wearer's foot, the shoe element comprising a lower section and an upper section, the lower section configured to be positioned below a wearer's foot and the upper section configured to couple the lower section to a wearer's foot, the looped body comprising a body configured to be positioned within the lower section and to surround a circumference of an orthotic insert:

• a perimeter wall which is defined by a central opening that spans substantially all of a length and a width of the looped body;
• the perimeter wall having an outward facing side, an inward facing side, a first planar side surface and a second planar side surface;
• the inward facing wall having an inward facing wall circumference configured to be greater than an orthotic insert outer circumference and sized to surround an orthotic insert circumference of the orthotic insert;
• the inward facing wall having an inward facing wall height that is configured to be at least as tall as an orthotic insert height;
• the first planar side surface and second planar side surfaces are configured to be removably attached on top of an upward facing surface of the lower section such that the outward facing portion of the perimeter wall abuts an outward edge of the lower section when the looped shaped body is positioned on top of the upward facing surface of the lower section of the shoe element;
• a first attaching element disposed on the first planar side surface of the perimeter wall, the first attaching element configured to removably attach a first planar side surface of the looped shaped body to the upward facing surface of the lower section of the shoe element;
• and,
• a second attaching element disposed on the second planar side surface of the perimeter wall, the second attaching element configured to removably attach the second planar side surface of the looped shaped body to the upward facing surface of the lower section of the shoe element.
