I have a very damaged ankle, are these weights soft?

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.

No. They are comfortable but they are vinyl. I wouldn't consider them soft.

Thanks so much! I can hardly stand to touch it so heavy socks and a soft weight will work.

The material is a smooth vinyl. They would probably be fine over pants but may not feel good against bare skin.

If it's a damaged tendon that hurts to the touch, from experience I can say: 1) These are the exact weights used by the hospital Physical Therapists as ankle weights (and used on me, which is why I purchased them); and 2) I wear heavy socks as a buffer and leave the strap a tad loose on that ankle. I have two white 2 lb. Hausmanns. Hope this helps you!

I bought two 5lb weights to use as ankle weights. They fasten very securely to my ankles, not a large person either. I tried them on my wrist to answer your question and could not get them tight enough. When I lower my wrist the weight slipped off. Not sure if the smaller weights would be less bulky and work better.

i wouldn't say they're weighted, they're more like resistant with a somewhat heavy feel.

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

They feel natural and soft. I have the 42D girl narrow size and they weigh about 5 pounds total. I have two pair. They are delicate and will split if dropped or badly mishandled. I wear them with regular bras and I do not tape them to my body.

No. They land softly, but are extremely hard-wearing. Highly recommended. Slippery on highly polished surfaces.Paul Smith. Aust.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

These have nice ankle support. I am an active person, so I'm not sure if having more developed leg muscles is the reason for feeling stable butt, all in all, you feel secure while blading.

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

No they are hard. I do not recommend . There are better products that are soft .

no I would say they seem to we some what weighted, more like springy. The depress easy enough, but they bounce right back up.

They are soft with elastic in the back. However they are stiff on the design part and I have avoided wearing them when I know I will sweat such as running. I think sweat will stain them and they do not seem like they would absorb. I am a nurse and wear them to work with my hair in a ponytail.

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

They are a coated dense foam, not real soft if that is what you are looking for.

They definitely are not firm. Medium soft if there is such a classification. I find them very comfortable and have no regrets in this purchase.

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

I didn't like the Water Gear ankle weights. I found them uncomfortable. I bought All Pro adjustable ankle weights, which I love. They are very comfortable and adjustable in 5-ounce increments up to 2.5 pounds per ankle.
