A wedge sole naturally distributes weight more evenly than a sole with a heel. While it is not ideal for jobs requiring you to climb ladders, traverse terrain, etc, they are incredibly comfortable and slip-resistant on hard, flat surfaces (i.e. cement).
You will be fitted with a removable ankle brace that has rubber wedges under the heel to elevate your heel. This keeps your foot in a toe-down position. You can bear full weight on the operated leg as long as you are wearing the brace and feel pressure on your heel when you walk. Your weight should be borne through the heel and not the toes. You can remove the brace to shower or bathe and to move the foot and ankle.
