Photos of Joe Biden are currently circulating that show him wearing an orthopedic boot. – And the rumor mill is churning.
For example, the photos are intended to show that Joe Biden was wrong and wears the boot sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right.
Some users also go out on a limb and assume that the boot is a diversionary tactic for an ankle bracelet.
These photos are about:
So here Joe Biden is wearing one of these orthopedic boots. Sometimes on the right foot, sometimes on the left.
If you look very quickly, you might assume that the two photos are simply a certain amount of time apart since they are different boot models. However, the mouth and nose protection at least points to the Corona year 2020.
However, the theory with the ankle bracelet would already be off the table, since it wouldn't even be found on the right or left.
Therefore, no matter how creative some users get, their suspicions are still wrong.

What's behind Joe Biden's boots?
Joe Biden was injured while playing with his German Shepherd Major. Anyone who owns a dog knows how quickly this can happen. A brief romp, one wrong move: Zack! – Captured hair breakage.
According to Biden's doctors, it may be necessary to wear the orthopedic boot as support for a few weeks. Sorry, Major, your master will probably have to take it easy for a while.

In contrast, the photo on the right is real. It is dated December 1, 2020 and shows Joe Biden arriving at the Queen Theater in Wilmington, Delaware.

Conclusion
Yes, Joe Biden is currently wearing an orthopedic boot - more specifically, a lower leg-foot orthosis - due to small hairline fractures in his right metatarsal. It is expected that he will have to wear these boots for several weeks now.
Other claims are simply false, just as the right photo in the “collage” was subsequently manipulated and its statement was therefore falsified.
