Can we open the feet so as to wear shoes? How water resistant is it, ie can I have a sleep on the grass if it's wet? Thanks :-)

The pantagon selk has removeable feet. Yes, it is seems likely that it would keep you dry.

Can't open the feet. Isn't water resistant, but I think you could sleep in a little damp grass, but not if the grass was soaked.

If they are set properly to your feet, it is very comfortable. When I first got it I didn't have it set tight enough and it hurt the upper part of my foot. Properly set you can use this barefooted.

You could rest your foot there with a shoe on depending on the size of the fire. I wouldn't worry about too hot. I would worry about stability though. I wouldn't rest my foot on the edge of mine. It is thin metal, it could bend or it could tip over because it is so light

I haven't tried it that way- it feels amazing with shoes and I would probably wear a pair of socks....

No, You can not use it to walk in, only to mobilize your foot in order to stretch your plantar fascia. I was not able to sleep with it, to cumbersome but I did find one made by A.C.E. that works fairly well to sleep in (you can purchase at Walmart for around $25).

I bought this to sleep on in summer. Since my body feels ok with it, I think it is comfortable also to walk on barefoot.

You'd have to have very large shoes indeed. The plastic part is firm and the velcro + strap assemblies are well-padded. In addition, it is uncomfortable to walk in the brace because it digs into the front of your leg when you step forward with the opposite foot. I wear mine only at night.

i don't think it's a good idea. although i haven't tried to move them from shoes to shoes i did try to reposition them two or three times to find the fight spots. the sticky foam at the bottom will eventually torn if you are not very gentle with them. i just bought enough pairs for all my shoes to have their own pads.

The enclosed instructions specify that shoes should be worn while on the board. The bumps on its surface help to keep shoes from slipping. I have never slipped off. I would never try the board barefoot.

From GaryRose - I wear the pad on my right foot with sandals with no problem. I have also worn the pad barefoot but only for a short period of time indoors and had no problem. I just moisten it everyday and stick it on my bare foot before I put on my sandals. Hope this helps Island Mermaid.

I doubt you'd feel it if you had shoes on. You would definitely feel it barefoot and probably through socks though.You may want to be a little careful with the shoes though. The wires in this mat are *very* fine and shoes could probably break them or dislodge them from the mat surface.

No, the tent is strictly designed for one and its function is almost exclusively for sleeping. For a kid I would recommend a more spacious tent. This tent has a very specific application and it is limited to the grass, there are better options available.

board has small gritty strips to keep from slipping. I have never done the board without shoes on, but you could try!!

In my experience, this device is not comfortably worn with outside shoes. The only shoe I've been able to wear it with is my bedroom slippers, which are loose and pliable. If you want to wear it with any other shoes, I recommend you take it with you and wear it when you try on the shoes. That's the only way you can be sure it can be comfortably worn with that shoe.

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.

Here at Atlas Biomechanics we recommend that these can be worn under socks with or with out shoes. Most people wear them all day with their shoes. We sell to hundreds of Podiatrists and they also recommend under socks and worn all day. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,TeriAtlas Biomechanics

I have used it bare footed with no discomfort. Wearing socks should be fine.
