A low cost, compact, lightweight sling is disclosed. It can be appreciated that moving an impaired leg often requires someone to bend down and place their hands near the ground to grasp the leg. For many, this requirement to bend over is burdensome and can leave on in an awkward situation. In accordance with the present invention, an impaired leg can be moved without the requirement of bending over to grasp the leg, then lift the leg. The sling can have a pull strap, a boot and a coupler to removably affix the pull strap to the boot. The sling can be manufactured with a strap, such as a nylon strap that has a loop on a first end of the strap that can secure a handle. On a second end of the pull strap a foot engaging/securing member such as a boot can be configured to secure a human foot or a shoe. Securing straps can secure the boot to the user's foot. The boot can also be configured with a molded heel to secure the users foot and prevent the boot from slipping off of the users foot. In one embodiment the boot can have reinforcing straps that are affixed to the boot such that the pull strap can be secured to the boot.
