Zusammenfassung:	Prosthetic feet that allow for heel height adjustment and/or provide metatarsal joint functionality to more closely mimic natural human feet are provided. The prosthetic foot (1000) of the invention includes an ankle module (1100) having a hydraulic adjustment mechanism. The prosthetic foot further comprises a cosmesis (1200) which can adapt to the varying heel heights of the prosthetic foot. The toe region can curve upward relative to a portion of the foot proximal of the toe region.
