  • Patent number: 6878125
    Abstract: An inflatable support shoe for enabling an individual with a broken foot encased within a cast to walk without the use of crutches. The support shoe comprises an inflatable footpad having a selectively inflatable air chamber, and a rubber ring. The footpad has a number of elastic cords extending therefrom having hooks at their ends. In use, the circular ring is selectively attached to the cast just above the ankle region of the cast. The user then positions the bottom of the cast upon the upper surface of the footpad, and engages the circular ring with the hooks at the ends of the cords, in order to firmly attach the footpad to the cast. After the user inflates the air chamber, the footpad cushions the injured foot against harmful impacts, thereby enabling the individual with a broken foot encased within a cast to walk upon the foot without the use of crutches.
