can you comfortably run with these ankle weight?

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!

I wouldn't but I am a small framed woman. The cuffs are bulky on my ankles so I am walking but not running.

Hi Patric, I no longer jog/run as I used to. I use the weights while walking with no problem. I cannot tell you for sure, but you probably could run with them, slowly increasing the weights and making sure to wear thick socks to protect the ankles. Or you could try speed-walking first. The weight designer does not recommend them except for static exercises, but most people do walk with ankle weights without problems. Take care, Carmen Sofia

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.

You'll be fine running with them. I haven't had a problem with them yet. Really can't recommend these enough.

Yes - the weight is sufficient for a enhanced workout but doesnt hinder movement unduly. I can actually swim with them - its an effort but its doable. And when you take them off and swim it feels like you're turbo-charged :)

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.

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.

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.

We have. 3 year old ( about 30 lbs) and 2 year old (25 lbs) that we run with. We had no problems as far as weight issue. So you should be fine.

They probably are if you want them to fit snugly. But that doesn't mean they will fall past your foot. And you could always wrap a small towel or clothing around your ankle first.

Yes. I purchases these weights for my granddaughters. We have tried several different leg weights and they both say that these weights are so comfortable. One plays basketball for her HS. And her sister is on the dance team. They both run 2 miles every day and love these weights. My basketball player uses them during practice.

Without knowing all the details of your age, weight, physical health etc it's hard to say exactly. But if you are wearing shoes and have the table and ankle supports set/adjusted properly, you may just have weak ankles. When you are doing a complete inversion 100% of your body weight is being supported by your ankles. You may just have to work up to complete inversion before your ankles can support the weight.

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.

Unfortunately I wouldnt be able to answer that directly, I cannot run, however, it is quite comfortable in all the positions I have tried and places I have carried.

I am sure that you could. It might be a little tighter on the ankle than the wrist.

I believe your legs would be too long...I really think they would be.... Your weight is fine.

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

There is very little pressure on the ankles, and yes the padding is sufficient! LOVE how I feel after using it!

No. My husbands legs are very swollen and I can't get these on him. Better for ankles...Sorry
