A downhole assembly includes a float tool configured to be connected to a casing string and including one or more one-way valves configured to permit fluid flow in a downhole direction and to prevent fluid flow in an uphole direction, and a first wiper plug configured to be deployed into a well via the casing string and engage the float tool. The first wiper plug comprises a valve element that is configured to prevent fluid flow through the first wiper plug at least in the uphole direction.

A downhole valve includes a housing, and a sleeve positioned within the housing. The sleeve has a first axial end, a second axial end, and a seat positioned between the first and second ends. The sleeve defines an opening facing in a radial direction. The sleeve prevents fluid flow in an opposite radial direction, away from the opening. The valve also includes a retaining element coupled to or integral with the sleeve, and a first obstructing member positioned in the sleeve and movable between the seat and the retaining element. In a first position, the first obstructing member engages the seat and prevents fluid flow through the housing. In a second position, the first obstructing member is separated apart from the seat such that at least a portion of the opening is axially between the first obstructing member and the first obstructing member.
