2015 commemorated the 30 year anniversary of DARCO International. Dr. Darrel Darby founded the company with a simple wish; to ease the suffering of those who walked through his door. Over the years, DARCO has remained dedicated to being a leading provider of Post-Op, Trauma and Woundcare solutions for the foot and ankle. Streamlining manufacturing and bolstering R&D development were all quick to follow in the dramatic expansion of DARCO International. One thing remains the same, the commitment and dedication to helping people. We're proud to be able to say that "every 9 seconds, somewhere in the world, a DARCO shoe is prescribed".
