Ecco Cozmo
Podiatrist Recommended Slipper for younger and more active patients.
Although not technically a slipper, the Ecco Cozmo is a great option to use as a slipper in your home. I wouldn't recommend them for a geriatric patient, but they are a wonderful option for younger and more active patients with foot issues.
Recommended for patients with:
- Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
- Functional Hallux Limitus
- Hallux Limitus
- Hallux Rigidus
- Osteoarthritis of the 1st toe joint
- Morton's Neuroma
- Previous Lisfranc's Injury (Check with your Podiatrist first)
- Hammertoes (appropriate to use as a slipper, but will need rearfoot control/strapping for increased activities) --> try the Ecco Yucatan sandal.
- Mild Bunions
- Mild Tailor's Bunion
- Mild Hypermobility
NOT Recommended for patients with:
- Drop Foot
- Geriatrics
- History of Falling
- Muscle or Leg Weakness (You will need something lighter)
- Ankle or Foot Instability (You will need something lower)
- Tendency to trip/drag your feet
- Severe Bunions
- Severe Tailor's Bunions
- Severe Overpronation
- Severe Hypermobility
- History of Foot Ulcerations (you should check with your Podiatrist about the best slipper to wear). A good option might be the Orthofeet Slippers. For women: the Orthofeet Charlotte or the Lorin. For men: the Orthofeet Ashville or the Vito).
Check with your Podiatrist before wearing these if you are:
- Diabetic
- Peripheral Vascular Disease
- Peripheral Neuropathy
