Abstract
The prosthetic foot includes an extending forefoot and an extending heel which curve into arcing sections to be positioned in an overlapping and opposite fashion. A fastener securely fastens the forefoot and the heel to one another at a convergence of the arcing sections. The arcing sections define a receptacle for elements which limit the deflection of the forefoot and the heel. The preferred embodiment has a plurality of individual forefoot and heel members which readily accommodate uneven or angled terrain by individually flexing to conform to the terrain.
