Spacers or liners inserted in the boot components of pressurized spacesuits impair foot ventilation and cause foot discomfort. A walking boot is described which includes a bootie adaptable to the foot of the wearer. A protuberance projected from the bootie fits within a recess in the inner sole of an hermetically sealed boot. Spring loaded latching bolts hold the bootie in place. Multiple wearers or astronauts with varying foot sizes can thus use a single spacesuit.
