Background: Hallux Valgus Surgery success depends not only on the operative technique, but also on the care of the foot during the postoperative period. Orthopedic shoes have been developed to decrease the weight load on the first ray, an excess of which might lead to a loss of fixation or pseudoarthrosis. The goal of this study was to determine how the load distribution changed as the forced applied to the foot increased, with and without an orthopedic shoe. Also, we compared to different shoe models. Methods: Pressure sensors were placed under the first metatarsal head and the heel of twenty specimens of fresh cadaveric adult feet. Two orthopedic shoes were chosen, a double padded (MS) and a reverse camber shoe (RCS). 10 kg loads were progressively applied, up to 60 kg. We first compared three instances: no shoe, MS and RCS. A secondary analysis comparing barefoot versus shoes was performed. A mean comparison was performed (ANOVA/T-student). Results: The mean pressure of the heed and the first metatarsal showed that there were significant differences between groups (P < .005). The secondary analysis (no shoe vs orthopedic shoes) showed that the pressure without shoe was significantly higher than with any orthopedic shoe (P < .005). There were no statistically significant differences between models of shoes (P = .402). Conclusion: After a surgical procedure for hallux valgus fixation, postoperative shoes should be indicated to decrease the pressure on the first metatarsal head and heel in order to avoid an overload of the postoperative area
