Boots sold for *performance* support are used for 24/7 rehab in humid 
weather??

I'm sorry, but that seems like an error in judgement.  I used one of 
those sports medicine boots on an injury overnight and got huge 
swelling on the entire length of the tendon sheath.  That was a clue, 
and I never used them again for anything, sold them.

I'm glad you found something else.

Please, people, don't use stuff for other than what it was intended 
unless you really think out the ramifications.
