ABSTRACT:
A walking adapter connectable onto the ground-engaging surface or sole of a surgical sandal. The adapter comprises a rigid, configured support having a generally flat upper surface with adhesive means thereon for attachment transversely onto to the central portion of the sandal sole and a contoured lower surface which downwardly extends to its mid-portion. The mid-portion, relatively narrow and extending along the length of the adapter, is generally parallel to and spaced furthest from the upper surface and having ground-engaging surface texture. Various cross-section configurations and rib patterns are provided and the invention may also be releasably attachable for proper fore and aft adjustment and made lockably rotatable to modify the pivotal axis of the sandal during walking.
