A walker used in tandem with a sling system (sling) that is made up of a series of bungi-cords, steel hooks, adjustable plastic hooks, a nylon strap and a plastic support piece. The walker and sling allow the invalid to keep their entire body weight off of the walker when it is moved. It also helps keep the invalid's injured foot off of the floor so that no weight is put on it. A short piece of bungi-cord with small hooks on either end is looped around the top of one side of the walker and the hook on the looped end is hooked to the looped bungi-cord. The other small steel hook connected to the short bungi-cord hooks to a steel hook that is attached to a long bungi-cord running to an adjustable hook that is hooked to a loop that holds a nylon strap with a piece of plastic glued in it for added support. The nylon strap is where the invalid places their foot. A short bungi-cord with small hooks can be used to hold the foot in the shoe support. The adjustable hook that is hooked to the loop is connected to a second piece of long bungi-cord that runs to the other top side of the walker where it ends in a second plastic adjustable hook that is hooked to a small steel hook, short bungi-cord and another small hook. The short bungi-cord is looped around the top bars of the walker and the hook is hooked to the top cross support bar. The second long bungi-cord can be adjusted at the bottom adjustable hook or top adjustable hook depending on the height of the invalid.
