I don't know if these are good for running. If you do get these make sure to use high socks because the material of the ankle weights may remove some skin, lol. It's a little coarse. But I have the 10 lb weights even when I walk with them on I can feel it wanting to scrape my skin. Maybe another one with a wider Velcro strap that can hold it more secure. Be careful with running with ankle weights as it may not be good for your knees. Hope this helps, good luck

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.

I have the weights that have 5 2-lb. weights for each ankle. Though it might vary depending on how many of the weights you've inserted, I just measured one that I had 2 2-lb. weights in... It can be tightened enough for my 7 1/2" ankles and loosened to accommodate 22"! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to tighten them enough, but I found that I can fold back the part with the rings (only using one set of rings) and get them tight enough this way. They're good weights and easy to use!

It depends on your complexion but if you will be mostly running I suggest the wide or at least the running pads available at http://www.weightvest.com/running-pad-1520 . Now, this product is amazing but requires commitment. I suggest you try running with a rucksack first and see how that goes.

I'm a running coach and I use these with several of my coached athletes during training. These are the best ankle weights I've used in over 20+ years of coaching since they are totally adjustable and easy to use. I have the 10lb. ankle weights and can take out the amount of weight I want whether its 2lbs., 5lbs., or whatever.

They aren't heavy but I don't know how well they'd work for running. When the headphones move it is unnaturally loud in the earbuds whether or not music is playing - they work great for weightlifting, but I still haven't tried them out for running.

My biggest complaint is the pressure on my ankles. You can sometimes get situated where it doesn't hurt. But its a hit and miss every time in my experience.

The blue rehband is 7 mm thick. Basically it is too thick to walk around in or to even jog. I know this because I thought I would break it in before I did my heavy lifting so I wore it half a day. My knee was sweating like crazy and the thickness does not allow for natural movements for an extended amount of time. Get the thinner rehbands made for jogging. They are the grey ones I believe. You will be thankful

When I bought the ankle weights, they were sold individually. I needed to order 2' to have a set.

Also, consider wrapping smaller hand like towels around your ankle area so they'll cover the top part of your legs. Where the table's foam rollers point of contact is there. It'll offer some extra cushioning and comfort.

Yes you can use for ankle too. But watch out the sand leak all over the place. I used the "Nayoya" weights better then the Reebok brand. You may search here Amazon find the reviews and price.

I'm a 9.5 and I got a medium. Fit well and did its job pretty well. I actually tweeked my ankle during basketball one time with it on...maybe 6 months in. It definitely helped, but doing that made me look for something even more sturdy. I use the ASO Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis - Black - Medium instead and really like it. It gives a lot more stability. It's made well and I find it fast to put on as well. I would get tripped up at times with the royce lacing-if you're familiar with old ice skates you'll know what I mean. You have to make sure you're on the hook right or you have to relace it. The aso is slightly more bulky but doesn't hinder anything for me. The aso happens to be cheaper than the royce right now as well, so you may want to check that one out as well-and the ratings. Good luck in you choice. And may your ankle be safe in its endeavours ;)

Light jogging should be ok, and depending what you're carrying. Full out sprinting, I'd be certain everything inside won't bounce around.

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 use it for running a few times a week. I personally don't have a problem with it. the weights are pretty easy to take out so you can adjust how much weight your running with. I haven't had an issue yet

You can adjust these ankle weights up to 12" or as low as ~5". You will have no issues with circumference.

If you are looking for ankle weights to do leg lifts etc. in place without running or walking, these would be perfect. They do not tighten enough for a person who wants to jog or run.
