I guess he had a fracture, which can be a full blown broken bone, or just a small hairline crack. It's very non-descript. For younger people, small hairline fractures aren't too bad and generally the boot can be worn for a very short period of time.

However, BIDEN is older and usually old people are much worse off with fractures. It's tough to tell. An elderly family member of mine who is 3 years older than Biden, had a very small hairline fracture in his foot and it was NASTY. He got a fracture blister the size of a baseball and his entire foot was black and blue, just from a small hairline fracture. He had to wear his boot for more than a month.

Of course "president elect" and generally elite rich guy Biden can probably afford better doctors and better treatment, and shorter recovery. So who knows....
