Everyone medical condition and physical body type is different and/or can be slightly or have a large variance. For example I have ankle pain from a old sprain and a hairline fracture in the same area. I use this to support my issues, but after awhile, I have to take it off due to the continued pressure on my lower leg which could stop some circulation. I tried various other ankle support products out there, but this works for me. That is up to a point and it meets my other requirements as well e.g. cost, durability etc. Will it work for you, I can't answer this question for you. You might want to talk to a medical and/or ankle/foot specialist, or did what I did i.e. "trial and error".

I would tend to say yes. I bought them for the same purpose and they have helped with the pain tremendously.

No. They don't provide enough cushioning for running long distances but are excellent for walking on all types of terrain.

Yes, They also work great for football cleats too. I haven't had any ankle issues. Not to bulky.

Around the 2 hr mark I started to have some discomfort, I was using them during workouts which last about 90 min and I was fine. On the walk back I started some mild discomfort. They were great during the workout though.

Sorry, I'm not a runner but a walker!! I can say if you are in any kind of heel pain for this price it's worth a try!! I had to limp when walking my dog and now I saunter happily with no pain!!!

I think they would be excellent for running. The silicone grippers do a great job of keeping them in place.

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.

Well, I can tell myself; who is 55 years old and had plastic surgery from a horrific car accident that I use these ankle weights for short periods of time of exercise but under no circumstance should you use these for walking around the block or in the park. Only use these for " short periods of time " period.... Remember that I also have damaged ankles (broken left ankle and broken right foot with broken right leg )and other assorted maladies.

Just went on my first run with them. Just wiped the sweat off the ear cups. Also, plenty light enough for two miles, I didn't even know they were there (additionally, I did wear them slightly off of one ear to hear what was going on around me for safety). Hope that helps.

Hmm. I've been using the boot for that too. I think you could walk in 2 of them. It really helps my ankle. I would see a physical therapist too...! hang in there.

Pick the correct size of ends from all the sizes they provide and they will stay put. I use them for running outside and treadmill while training for my half and full marathons. The only time they moved was when I accidentally hit the cord while wiping sweat from my face.

I use them for ankles and wrists. The only concern is to make them a little (+ 2 small waits) heavier for your ankles, so I usually do the ankle exercises at different sessions than wrists. This way I avoid changing in the middle of exercising.Enjoy!

I'm not a runner. I'm a nurse & work 12hr shifts which included lots of running up & down the hallway to surgery. They stay up very well and also support your arches. One of the docs I work with wears them when running.

Yes, they are great for running. The sound is perfect. My solitary complaint is that they are a bit too bulky for my ears to hold up. Otherwise they are great

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running.Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

Depends on what your gonna do with them. Jog? No I would not advise that. I do know a good pair for jogging. But these are decently tight, but I'm female and have a small head.

Yes, i have logged many miles with them. You will need to find the best fitting rubber ear pieces that they send with them, the first ones I did use would slip out after a few miles and excess sweat.
