KEY INFORMATION
ION FOOT PROTECTOR - Neoprene foot protector for footstrap chafing
What we like
- Instep protection: The neoprene creates a barrier between your skin and the strap.
- Barefoot feel maintained: You keep that direct board feel under the sole of your foot.
- Neoprene construction: ION specifies 80% neoprene and 20% polyester.
- One size: This single model means no size selection is needed.
- For extended sessions: Chafing often becomes an issue when you spend hours in your straps.
Included / Not included
✔️ Included: ION Foot Protector
❌ Not included: Footstraps, boots
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Prevents strap chafing
After several hours in footstraps, the top of your foot can get irritated, especially with salt and sand. The ION Foot Protector covers your instep with a layer of neoprene, right where the strap presses. Your sole remains bare on the pad, preserving board feel.
Material
ION states this protector is 80% neoprene and 20% polyester, available in one size. If you need full foot coverage, a pair of neoprene boots will do the job, but you'll lose some of that direct board feel.

FAQ - ION FOOT PROTECTOR
This is for the kiter, wing foiler, or windsurfer who rides barefoot in footstraps and finds their instep irritated after sessions.
No, it only covers the top of your foot to prevent strap chafing. For cold conditions or walking on rocks, you'll still need neoprene boots.
