is this waterproof ? I need a brace for foot and ankle, but want to go paddle boarding.

It's mainly plastic with a rubbery calf support and velcro. I guess it could be. Maybe rub some vaseline on connection points.

Basically waterproof. It fastens at calf with Velcro, which will dry quickly. The majority of the brace is plastic so you will need a sock under it.

I see no reason why it wouldn't be. It has a fabric band at the top with a velcro attachment. This dries pretty fast as we've had occasion to wash it.

I don't think that this would be a problem. To release the ankle braces one just pushes down on the bar that runs up between the shins. If your back is in such bad shape that bending over with straight legs is a problem, then there might be an issue. For me its been very easy to get in and out safely - I use it twice a day, it takes seconds to get in and out.

Ads claim "Splash-Resistant." I would not count on water resistant. I have the same problem with sea sickness. Bought this item with no guarantee. Within 1 hour I was very sick. As a matter of fact worse than I ever was before. It sits in my drawer never to be used again. Good luck!

The soles and sides of the shoes are waterproof up to the laces, which, of course leak. I have crossed lots of small streams in these and my feet remained dry, but they would not be good for wading. I might add that I have recommended these shoes to many of my friends with lots of different feet and all love them. The heel is narrow, which is perfect for me--no chafing and no blisters. I have 3 pairs of these shoes.

I paddle board in lake water. It floats vertically so wrapping bright water proof tape around the handle is a good idea.

It has good padding. But when I am on it my ankles aren't really the issue. It is the top pad of my foot that receives the most pressure. To correct that I just wear shoes while I am on it.

As far as I know, yes. This was for my daughter and it's her left ankle she needs it for. The packaging didn't specify and I didn't think about that until I just read your question! We went through two similar braces before this one (she broke her ankle in April) and this is by far her favorite. She wears it whenever she plays soccer or lacrosse now, just for additional support, and it's fine with her cleats. She'll wear it during winter basketball, too. Good luck.

I use the slant board bare footed and with shoes. It has strips of black sandpaper to keep my feet in place, but the sandpaper does not hurt bare feet. I use it in my kitchen to remind me to use it several times a day. I am rehabbing a compound fractured ankle and damaged nerve. I need to stretch the tendons in the back of my ankle so I can dorsiflex.

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

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!

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

NOT a waterproof boots,this are for use with neoprine waders ,that is boot that takes water in ,use to submerse and for better traction

Yes is waterproof, don't know about the rolston a bit large for the mainstay brand I put it on, but not too large that it looks ridiculous

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.

It is not waterproof. It has a silicone cover you can put on it for water protection.

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)

Fins are not deep-if your concern is hitting rocks etc, I wouldn't worry. Fine anywhere deep enough for a paddle.
