I am rehabing a right hip replacement 9-12-15. Physical therapy is in the pool and my surgeon said let's not baby this and to push as hard as I can and he's right at this point! Started running in 4 to 5 feet of water but being in the water for 45 minutes prior, doing PT exercises and stretching my feet are already "prunie". I begin using a running motion to reteach the muscles and ligaments to move in a running motion pushing off the bottom of the pool to move forward. The pool floor is typical rough and after 15 to 20 minutes and a few laps I learned that I was wearing the skin off my toes and balls of my feet. Tried "water socks" but the glued in liner eventually just wrinkled up under the pushing pressure. So I looked to revain to find some sort of water sock with a rubber sole and bought a couple styles that were way too big and much more expensive. Tried these today for the first time, they are thinner and have a fabric sole that is slick on home floors. Did my rehab PT then ran 18 laps or about 900 ft.Pros: These are light and there is a scuba like material that seems to be sown into the insole. They protected already tender feet well. I put them through the ringer here.read further please.Cons: The socks do move some after a lot of activity, partly because of the pressure pushing off of them but partly because the opening has Velcro to help tighten the top/opening around the ankle which is not long enough to allow for narrow or tapered calves. Suggest that the Velcro stitched in the area for the Velcro strap to attach be extended at least twice as long to allow for a tighter adjustment for those who might need it.Now, I said I put this through the ringer and even though I was in a pool, I put some serious running pressure on these socks. Turns out they fared pretty well but will not last under the tasks I am asking them to do at this point. The right foot showed little wear and is the hip I am rehabing. The left foot shows a serious wear pattern and there is early evidence of a tear in the material at his point. See pictures attached.Please, all you scuba enthusiasts DO NOT write me and tell me these are for scuba activities.I know that. This is an experiment to see if the lighter sock might hold up for about 6 more weeks of rehab and extra exercise to get me back to where I was before I was injured the better part of 9 years ago.
