ABSTRACT:
A method of making an external protective and cosmetic covering for use on an endoskeletal or exoskeletal prosthesis, that has toes included in it. The skin is produced on a mold having toes cut into it. The mold is narrower and undersized in the actual foot prosthesis. The mold is modified to have toes cut into it with the definition of the toes greatly exaggerated to emphasize the normal contours and definitions of the natural nail and natural nail bed.
