ABSTRACT:
An orthotic boot device fittable about an appendage such as a foot to allow support and protection to the skin and underlying tissues covering bony protuberances of the appendage. The device surrounds the appendage and has tapered apertures into which the bony protuberances extend. The tapered apertures fit about the bony protuberances. The thickness of the device body exceeds the extent of the protuberances thereby reducing the likelihood of abrasion or ulceration to the skin covering the bony protuberances.
