ABSTRACT:
An inflatable heel protector for cushioning a foot is provided which comprises an inflatable bag formed by joining a first flexible wall and second flexible wall along their respective peripheral edges. The first and second walls are also joined to form interconnecting pillow segments so that fluid can flow between the segments to distribute pressure imparted to the bag. Releasable coacting fastening tabs are provided to hold the bag in place on the lower leg, and a reclosable valve on the bag enables fluid insertion or removal.
