Abstract: A removable sole for a walking cast, a walking cast having the removable sole, and a method of making the walking cast and the removable sole. A bandage is permanently bonded to a walking cast, and a sole body is removably attached to the bandage. The bandage has a top surface bonded to the bottom and side surfaces of the cast, and a bottom surface with a strip of hook and loop fastener material. When the cast is plaster, the bandage is preferably adhered to the cast while the plaster is still wet. When a fiberglass cast is used, an adhesive is applied to the top surface of the bandage to bond the bandage to the cast. The sole body has a concave top surface with a complimentary strip of hook and loop fastener material that mates with the hook and loop fastener material on the bandage. The loop fastener material on the bandage also protects the cast and the surface being walked on, when the sole body is removed.
