What Is a Walking Boot?

A walking boot is a medical shoe that is designed to protect your lower leg, ankle, or foot after an injury.

Walking boots come in a variety of sizes, shapes, specialties, and constructions.

These boots are also known as CAM boots—controlled ankle motion walking boots—walking casts, moon boots, or below-knee walking boots.

Depending on the level of support that you need, the walking boot may be made from stiff or slightly softer materials.
