An example implementation may involve a robot foot having a bottom surface and an edge portion extending around at least a portion of a perimeter of the foot, where the edge portion meets the bottom surface at the perimeter, where the edge portion surrounds a volume extending from the bottom surface of the foot to a top surface of the edge portion, and where the edge portion of the foot is composed of a first material. The foot may also include an interior portion located adjacent to the edge portion, where the interior portion of the foot fills the volume, and where the interior portion is composed of a second material that is more compliant than the first material.
