A shoe of use on a post-operative or otherwise traumatized foot includes a sole assembly having a outer sole, a shock absorbing midsole and an inner sole conforming generally to the contour of the sole of the foot, the sole assembly having a limited degree of flexibility, and an upper assembly including an outer wall of a flexible mesh material and a lining of a soft, conformable material, adjustable straps connecting the opposite sides of the forward portion of the upper assembly. Preferably, the sole assembly is tapered, being of greatest thickness in the heel region; the heel portion of the upper is angled forwardly and upwardly; and one of the forward portions of the upper is of greater length than the other to protectively cover the dorsal aspect of the foot.
