An assembly for permitting self-locomotion by the wearer of a walking-type leg cast by a sliding movement, rather than by walking. The assembly includes: a retainer of material of a high coefficient of friction, with at least one aperture, affixed to the foot-bottom of the leg cast; and at least one glide insert of material of a low coefficient of friction, configurated in the form of cylinders of different diameters, with the narrower diameter end inserted into the aperture and the wider diameter end protruding a short distance from the retainer.
