DARCO’s origins trace back to Dr. Darby’s innovative vision of incorporating running shoe technology into post-op shoe design. Dr. Darby’s groundbreaking creation, the DARCO MedSurg™ Shoe, introduced the world to the first post-operative shoe with a semi-rigid sole, promoting patient comfort and faster healing. Founded in 1985, DARCO International, under Dr. Darby’s 18 years of leadership, evolved into a prominent foot and ankle brand, establishing itself as an industry leader in the design and manufacturing of podiatry products.
