    So I lost my foot. My left foot, just above the ankle. Nothing serious, but it really hinders walking, heh. So if anybody has an item to help me walk properly without a crutch, like a peg-leg or prosthetic or whatever, I'd be more than grateful.

    Get a boot, fill it with mashed potatoes, stuff your stub leg inside.

    How in the long whole Frontier of Antaras did you manage to lose your foot.
    Really hope we're not talking about your entire leg here, just your foot.

    Nevermind, it's getting sorted. And yes, it was just the foot. And no, I'm not telling.

    Create a cast out of paper mache for the stump, pull it off and use it to create a silicone mold, then pour some kind of plastic into the mold with a metal screw. Then find an avian with a comparable foot and do the same, Screwing the stump-holder onto the foot to create a secure bond.

    Both of you, no. I'm getting a mechanical replacement foot, from people I know and trust. I am not, I repeat not using a potato and a boot.

    A mechanical. . Foot? Why not save money and get a damn cheap prosthetic? orrr like they said, create a mold.
    Who's the source? Can you really trust them? do you even know what ur doing?

    Why are you so concerned about me? Yes, I know these people and have done so for months. I'm not getting a prosthetic or a mold because it needs to be durable, strong and able to take weight, strain and force which the alternatives cannot. Yes I know what I'm doing.
