Abstract: A foot splint to be worn following surgery on the metatarsophalangeal area of the foot includes the sole having an upper foot supporting surface and a lower ground-engaging surface, and a leather upper which surrounds and embraces the foot and secures the sole in place. The foot supporting surface of the sole includes a recess or depression underlying a selected one of the metatarsal joints of the foot for floating the selected metatarsophalangeal joint or area. Other areas of the sole are formed with convex portions to place more pressure on the portions of the foot they support, thereby relieving pressure from the area where the surgery took place. In a preferred embodiment the ground-engaging surface of the sole includes an upwardly inclined area substantially underlying the ball and anterior portion of the foot and a substantially flat walking surface underneath the arch and posterior portion of the foot.
