"About 2 weeks ago I had tarsal tunnel syndrome surgery at my right foot with a ~12 cm scar which had to be protected strictly from water to avoid any infection by bacteria/viruses. The waterproof short leg cover worked very well and I always was sure that my wound didn't get wet. I had to wear an air walker (no cast) which made it more difficult to put on the cover because it was larger than an ordinary cast. But the cover was elastic enough and didn't rupture."
