walking boot
Orthopedic recovery shoe
A walking boot is a rigid medical boot worn to immobilize and protect the foot or ankle while still allowing limited mobility.
Unlike a cast, it can be removed for bathing or sleeping.
Also called a walking cast or orthopedic boot: The doctor put me in a walking boot for six weeks after I sprained my ankle.
