Leg Padding Device

Abstract

A leg padding device for providing comfort to a user's lower leg when wearing knee-high boots or other lower leg covering garments. The leg padding device includes a fabric panel having padding or cushioning thereon. A first side of the panel includes one or more securement straps that extend outward from the panel and that include a fastener thereon. A second side of the panel includes one or more fasteners adapted to engage with the fasteners on the straps. In this way, the leg padding device can be easily adorned by wrapping the panel around the user's lower leg and securing the fasteners on opposing sides thereof. A lower end of the panel further includes an arch shaped cut-out adapted to be placed over the front of a user's ankle when the leg padding device is worn by a user.
