ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic foot includes a core of incompressible material which has a bottom side sloping upwardly from a toe region towards the rear end of the foot, a wedge-shaped heel element which is applied to that bottom side and formed of a soft, resilient material and a casing portion which is made of hard but resilient synthetic plastic material and shaped so as to form a toe region, a sole and a protective casing of the foot prosthesis. The synthetic plastic material of the casing portion forms an envelope completely wrapping the core and the wedge-shaped heel element at the lateral sides thereof.
