A prosthetic foot includes a prosthesis body having a toe region disposed in a front part of the prosthetic foot, and a one-piece insert which is provided in the prosthesis body and which absorbs and transmits stresses imposed on the prosthesis body. The insert enables at least a plantar and dorsal deflection as well as axial compression of the prosthesis body, and has an approximately S-shaped design in the longitudinal section of the prosthetic foot. The insert includes a top horizontal section which forms a top edge of the prosthetic foot, and a bottom horizontal section which is of an extended construction compared with the top section and which has a free end which extends into the toe region of the prosthesis body, so that a high elasticity and a high energy storage capacity of the front part of the prosthetic foot are achieved. A front inclined section extends at an obtuse angle from the top section to form a rigid angular element. A central section functions as a leaf spring and has a front end which is connected to a lower end of the angular element and has a rear end. An approximately semi-circular rear connecting section is connected to the bottom section and to the rear end of the central section.
