I have a minor neoprene allergy. Since this fits over my sock, does this provide protection?

Very stiff, very hard to put on. I wear and 11 with a very high arch. The velcro strap was too short to fit across the top of my foot without being too tight.

It provides a lot of protection. I usually wear 2 pairs of socks with it. After a while the area around the heel starts to get uncomfortable due to the neoprenes tightness on the skin In this area. However, I found that an extra layer of socks ads protection and delays the discomfort. The more layers of socks you wear the less of a chance your skin will have a allergic reaction.

I would think wearing over your sock would provide protection from the neoprene. I guess it just depends on the severity of the allergy.

Yes! I wear it over running leggings and high socks all the time with no problem.

I also had surgery and my foot was wrapped, but I had to wear an Aircast over it to immobilize the ankle. I included this in my review because, as many know, these types of temporary casts are very bulky. I thought it was informative to point out that the Curad protector actually fits over it. In your case, all you need to know is whether it keeps your foot dry. For me it did. Good luck with your recovery!

Dicey. I use them to keep my feet warm while kayaking in cold weather. The bottom is a soft diamond pattern of the same material as the sock. I noticed the other day that the diamond pattern around the ball of my foot (where it pushes on the foot brace) was starting to wear. I've since attached moleskin to the foot brace so I'm not pushing against the hard plastic. Sand is pretty abrasive. I believe neoprene boots have a hard sole; those might work better on sand. Hope you find something that works for you.

Triathletes use it for this all the time. I've tried it and it sure does help in both getting it on and stripping it off when wet after the swim. It won't harm neoprene either.

I have poor circulation and in the hot weather, my ankles swell. The sock seems to help the circulation as my legs are not as tired and they help keep the swelling down. At this price they are certainly worth a try. They surely cannot hurt. Hope this helps.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

I believe it would fit both men and women as it slips on your foot the same way a sock would but it only covers your heel - I look at it as a partial sock and it did work for me. My heels were cracked so bad that it hurt to stand. I would recommend it to anyone. Hope this answers your question.

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

It does help to protect your feet from sores, but if you have heel pain besides a doctor's prescription, i would recommend the SKIL CARE FLOAT HEEL PROTECTOR from Prime Discount in Amazon, i got both "booties" both are good, but because my mother developed sores in the big toe and heel, she is diabetic and bedridden, it was better to keep the heel free of pressure and avoid pain. The DMI comforting heel is very good to protect your feet from sores,but if those sores are spreading and causing too much pain in your heel i would suggest the float heel protector.My mother has both protectors (different one in each foot) and there is a lot of improvement.

Hi Patricia, I wear mine under my sock or a knee high. If I put my foot into a shoe with the toes sticking out that would not feel good to me. A sock over the sleeve sock keeps it cleaner too in my humble opinionMarji

I use for regular socks. I wear socks over my supports. Yes they do stretch a little but it is still worth it to be able to put your socks on by yourself. when I had surgery on my knee I even added a cord loop to each side to extend the handles as I couldn't bend my knee. I use it every day and it is so worth it.

I ordered it, but have not received it yet. If it is the same as the one I had before (when I was in the NAVY), then it covers your heal to just below a normal shoe heel hight, it does not interfere with walking in any way, you forget it is there and your heals do not hurt.

it covers the foot, heel included, and goes up well beyond the ankle bones. Just like a really tight sock without the toe.

Not really. The brand name tablets aren't anywhere close in size. I ended up buying a cheap generic neoprene cover at a store called "5 and below" . It's a little big but at least it provides some protection when the tablet is not in use. I bought this tablet for my 8 yr. old grand-daughter and worry that it will have no protection if and when dropped! The cover issue has been a disappointment. May have to make my own:)

Is this something you want to add to your sock aid? The one shown comes with it and I take it off right away as it doesn't work well with nylon hosiery for me. Perhaps you could find something at a hardware store that has an adhesive backing where you could cut a round shape to stick to your Sock Aid, Mole skin comes to mind with the adhesive back. Get that at the drug store. Hope this helps.

My wife says maybe. You have to put the sock on over the plastic thing and she is not sure whether a compression sock may be too tight to do that or too long in length, but it might work. If it doesn't work you can always send it back if you buy it from Amazon - doesn't cost that much. It certainly helped my wife getting her regular socks on for the first month or two after she broke her leg. You can't take socks off with this thing.
