Abstract
A cast having a predetermined space between a sole of a foot held in the cast and a bottom of the cast. The foot can be moved slightly so that a pushing-up action by the bottom of the cast toward the sole of the foot can be prevented, thereby providing a load removing effect. If the thickness of the space is changed, the load removing effect may be controlled.
