Partial foot and Syme's prostheses
Losing toes or part of the foot changes how weight travels through the foot and how shoes fit. The right filler, silicone foot or Syme's limb protects the skin you still have and keeps your step even.

Short answer
Do I need a prosthesis after losing toes or part of my foot?
Often a simple toe filler in a well-fitting shoe is enough, starting from PKR 10,000. Larger forefoot losses usually need a silicone partial foot from PKR 25,000 or a carbon footplate, and a Syme's ankle amputation needs a full limb from PKR 110,000.
Written and checked by the clinical team at Prosthetic Professionals. Last reviewed October 2026. General information only; your own surgeon or doctor decides when a limb is ready for fitting.
Who these prostheses are for
Partial foot amputations range from a single toe to the whole front of the foot. They are common after diabetic wounds and infections, and after crush injuries at work or on the road.
The smaller the loss, the simpler the device. But even a missing big toe changes balance at push-off, and an empty shoe toe lets the foot slide forward and rub. A filler or partial foot keeps the foot where it should be.
A Syme's amputation goes through the ankle and keeps the heel pad, so the end of the limb can take your weight. The end is wider than the ankle above it, so the socket needs a window or a flexible inner liner to slide past it.
- Healed skin with no open wounds
- Shoes you can wear daily, or willingness to change them
- For diabetics, a doctor following your sugar and circulation
From a simple filler to a full Syme's limb
Most people at this level need one of these three.
Silicone partial foot
A soft silicone foot made over a cast of your foot and coloured to match your skin. It looks natural and spreads load.
Best forTransmetatarsal and larger forefoot losses, open sandals
FromPKR 25,000
Syme's ankle limb
A socket with a removable window or a flexible liner, on a very low-profile foot made for the short space below the ankle.

Walking check and shoe advice
A final walk, a skin check, and a written note of the shoe type and size to look for.
If the foot is numb from diabetes, we check the skin together after the first walks, because you may not feel a sore starting.
Protecting the foot you still have
For diabetic users the partial foot is only half the job. The other foot now carries more load, and numb skin hides damage. Look at both feet every day, with a mirror or a family member if needed.
Wash and dry a silicone partial foot each evening, and keep it away from heaters and direct sun, which can harden silicone over time.
Shoes matter more than the device. A deep, wide shoe with a firm heel and no seams over scars will protect the foot far longer than any filler squeezed into a tight shoe.
- Inspect both feet daily
- Never walk barefoot on a partial foot
- Replace worn insoles before they flatten
- Call us at once about any blister or dark spot
Questions about this fitting
Ask your own questionCan I wear normal shoes with a partial foot?
Often, yes, especially with a toe filler or a thin silicone foot. Larger losses may need a deeper or wider shoe, and we will tell you which kind works before you buy.
Why is a Syme's prosthesis wide at the ankle?
Because the end of the limb keeps the heel pad and the ends of the leg bones, which are wider than the ankle above them. The socket has to pass over that bulb, so it is shaped wider there.
Is a silicone partial foot waterproof?
Silicone does not absorb water, so it can be washed. It should still be dried afterwards, and the skin underneath must be dried too.
I am diabetic and lost two toes. What should I watch for?
Redness, swelling, warmth or a dark patch on either foot, and any wound that does not improve within a few days. Those need your doctor quickly, and we can check whether the filler or the shoe is the cause.
