I'm a small woman, small ankles. The weights I have make my left ankle (wear a brace) hurt. Will these weights work on very small ankles?

I'd say so, you might want to call the company itself and check. They are quite adjustable. In any event, Amazon is excellent about returns. These are hard to find in the stores, especially in my part of the world. If you are wearing a brace, then you might want to check with your doctor about how he wants matters.

They will if you wearing heavy socks and slacks. I wear a pair of pull-on knits which are comfortable to exercise in. My ankles are very small (I wear a 2 petite) and I find they do slip a little. The key is to really hold them tight and make sure you put them on tight. Good luck with your ankles.

They have velcro wraps that wrap the ankle as tightly as one may desire. I like them a lot. Adjustable in 1/2 pound increments.

hello, I am also a small size woman, 104 lbs., with small ankles. I wear the band-weights on top of my exercise socks and cuff pants, for comfort as well as to minimize any rubbing on my ankles. The adjustable ankle Velcro is fine to wrap around. So far I am almost to the top of the weights and I have not had any problems. You should however, start with a low weight and gradually adjust it up, as you gain strength while walking. Try as much as possible, not to change the stride or do any unfamiliar twists on your ankles. This will minimize or eliminate any muscle /tendon pain. Slow weights/speed increases as you walk is always better. Best wishes, Carmen Sofia hello, I am also a small size woman, 104 lbs., with small ankles.

I was worried about that too. I am very happy to say yes. I'm 5'2', 117 lbs. I have no problem at all. I hope this helps. Good luck.

These are big to wear. They will slide down onto top of shoes. I have been wearing long pants under them. In warmer weather I will probably have to pad them. I am 5' 4" and 135 lbs with small/med ankles.

I would think so, they have a very good range of adjustment from large to quite small. They are comfortable to wear & would probably adjust well with a brace.

They are a little bigger than what i thought so they dont stay on that well unless you take a rag and stuff it around your wrist to make ytour wrist thicker personally i recommend using these more fore ankles but they do work on wrists its up to you. i do use them for both and havnt had any promblems.

This are definitely not for your wrists. They're too big and bulky. They work fine on your ankles though.

I use the product for everyday use. I have very weak ankles. The ankle braces have held up good for me. I don't know how it would work for sports. They was showing it with a volley ball player.

Not really; these weights have 5 pockets on each, each pocket has a two pound bag of sand in it so the lowest you could go is 2 lbs per ankle weight. I was not happy with the sand bags as the leaked, they are plastic, albeit thick plastic, but sand leaked from the seams. I replaced the bags using my own creativity to make 1 lb tubes that I could then completely customize the weight distribution.

No, not to these weights. In the water the fully loaded anklets are too much for me. If I were you I'd try them first before looking for more. You might be surprised.

Although these are designed to fit the wrists, they do fit around my ankles. So I have to say yes ... unless one has very large ankles. They are only two pounds per weight cuff ... not much weight for the legs but I guess you have to start some where. All Pro makes weight cuffs for the ankles as well. I also own their 1/2 to 10 pound set of ankle cuffs and love them. I wear them while doing my chores around the house and certainly get a good leg work out.

I have a "regular" that fits average people of average buoyancy (adjustable belt goes from skinny to pretty heavy easily). These are not shoes like my older set, they are ankle wraps as far as I can see. No weights, floatable foam (resistance from water gives you workout, not weights. Same for dumbells- foam. Youtube offers videos of product.

You will get tow form pads with 10 weight bars. Each weight bar weights half pound. Each form pad has 10 small pockets for you to slide the weight bar in. There is a flap to cover over the weights bars so it will not slip or fall out. You can adjust what ever weight you want to put in. I guess if you need, you can use different weight on each ankle too (from half pound to 5 pounds on each one ankle)

I am traveling and do not have my weights with me to measure. However, I would say give these a try. The velcro tightens quite nicely to fit snugly around ankles and wrists.

They are adjustable with a velcro strap. However, I only use them for my ankles and do not know that they would fit a small wrist.

On mine the straps were not long enough for anything larger than my ankle....but I am no midget, 6'4" 260lbs.

I'm not certain they will help your knees and hips, but they did help my ankles stop hurting.I think they are worth a try.

It will fit the average Male, and will go down to fit an average female. We do not use these with people who are excessively large around the ankles. Anyone more than 100 lbs over ideal weight would use something else.

I don't really understand your question, but I offer this and maybe it will help: The box contains a set of two weights. Each weight adjusts in weight by removing bags and adding weight bags. The straps are also adjustable on each weight so that these will fit wrists as well as ankles. I hope this helps.

One (1) lb. The beauty of these ankle weights is their design. Each ankle weight has individual "sleeves" or slots, unlike most ankle weights, and can be adjusted as your training progresses and your body adapts to the given exercise. Each individual slot holds a 1 lb. weight. If you take out each individual weight out of each individual slot and leave only 1 weight in one of the slots, you'll have a 1 lb. ankle weight. If you want to add more weight, you can do so very easily.

Yes, it can. However, these go up to 10lb each ankle. You can pull weights to keep it in the 1-5lb. range, but if 5lb. will be your maximum weight, then save by buying 5lb. max wights.
