Composite prosthetic foot structure

A prosthetic foot structure comprising:

• a foot plate having a toe portion and a heel portion;
• a shank plate having a vertical upper portion and a lower portion that overlies the foot plate along a seam at which the shank plate is bonded to the foot plate, wherein the shank plate is spaced from the foot plate across a gap that reaches rearward from the seam;
• and
• an attachment structure attaching the shank plate to the foot plate, wherein the attachment structure has a composite composition including a resin material containing reinforcing fibers, and the reinforcing fibers reach through the foot plate, across the gap, and through the shank plate.
