The boot liner comprises a cushioned, moisture absorbent material that absorbs moisture and also improves comfort while wearing an orthopedic boot, such as a walker boot. The liner comprises a body portion adapted to form along the sole of a wearer's foot, the body portion having an upper surface and an underside surface. The heel end of the liner has a curved edge with an upstanding lip extending upwards therefrom to support the wearer's heel, while the mid-body portion of the liner comprises a pair of lateral wings. The pair of wings extends from the sides of the liner and form over an upper surface of the wearer's foot when the wearer's foot is within the liner
