Can I wear these in the pool for aqua therapy and water walking?

Since its metal I would not. I have not gotten water on my weights and they have already began to rust. I definitely would not place them in aqua therapy until you plan on spray painting them with water-proof paint and then using them.

Yes, they are waterproof so you can throw them in a pool or bathtub. Have fun!!!

You can, but have to walk stiff legged as it does not allow the ankle to bend, they have helped my Plantar Fasciiitis though. I have been wearing them for about 8 years now.

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.)

I think they would. We use them for sand volleyball and when the sand is moist it gets packed and hard. Even in intense playing my husband's feet are always perfect. The material on the bottom of the sock I think, would keep your feet protected from the pool.

Yes they can be used for swimming, they stay in real well and do a great job. you can also get them in flesh color.

I have never tried them in the water. I'm not sure if these would work, as I would think it would be rather difficult to keep them in place and could lead to an embarrassing moment. I wouldn't try it unless the top to your swim gear is really secure and bra-like. I always spray them with hairspray before I put them on, so I know they will be locked in.

How are you doing, Rlizabeth? I bought this item from Amazon.com a couple of years ago. While it is well made, and I like this item, I don't believe that it is waterproof. For one thing, the weights are in individual, unsealed pouches whereby water can easily enter. Therefore, there is no way to keep them dry and potentially rust-free. That being said, I would not recommend them for aqua excercises in the pool. But, if you're looking for a neat, cool weight training aide, these would definitely fit the bill. Good luck and please have a good day! Rafiah.

Sorry, I haven't tried them in the pool. I bought them because they are small, and no wires. I like them. The sound is good, but they are hard to navigate while walking. I have to take them all to use the buttons. Still a great buy.

Yes, they are very ligth and comfortable, the sole is thin, you can swim for teaching only!!! They fill like a glove

I would say no. The material that they are made of wouldn't do well in water.

Yes. They are just cloth with a plastic knob that presses against your wrist. There is nothing water would damage.

My husband and I wear ours daily in our pool. If we "should" I can't answer. However, I will say they do fine with our water exposure.

Yes, but I usually wash them in the sink. They dry quickly. I walk on the beach a lot and the sand hardly sticks to them. Another plus is even if I wear them all day, they don't smell.

Yes. You can take a shower, go swimming, etc. They stick well. The only issue I've had is forgetting to take one off and it got really stuck. They are a lot like a bandaid, except bigger.

They are washable so the water won't change them. You may want to adjust them once they're wet just in case they loosen once they're wet. My mistake was taking them off to shower, I never should've done that because I got sick as soon as I was in the shower!!!!

My husband who wears them would suggest the larger size but he does not wear them in the water. He wears them at an indoor pool to walk around the deck at his job as a lifeguard. So I guess it depends on how you will be using them. If using them mostly in water he can see why you should order the smaller size. How's that for confusing you!
