A foot and ankle protective apparatus provides support and protection with
simultaneous pliability. The apparatus is especially helpful to those who
have recently had a cast removed and still require protection of the
applicable area while allowing for walking. The apparatus comprises a
thick, durable sole. Pliable leg, ankle and foot support is provided. The
foot cover shell covers a stadium plate shaped cushion with a convex
outer for fit to the identical shape of the shell. The concave inner of
the cushion provides for comfortable fit to the top of the foot. The
ankle opening between the foot surrounds and the leg surround overlaps
allows for limited dorsi flexion and plantar flexion of the ankle, while
still providing ankle support both laterally and against extreme flexion.
The apparatus is especially useful in lieu of total immobilization.
