Would this work for ice skating for someone with weak ankles?

we think they would, but they are a little thicker than socks,the nice thing is you can make them as tight or loose on either foot as you need

yes it would! I still use it as a ankle support while doing high endurance running on the treadmill. It is good for preventing ankle injuries!

This was very useful to me when I broke my ankle. I had a cast up to my knee and had no problems with it. I wear a ladies size 10 shoe, if size has anything to do with cast size. If you wear a men's 12, it my be difficult.

Using the Velcro strap, you can adjust down to pretty small--and you don't want it too tight for circulation's sake. I always used them on my ankles but just put it on my wrist (they are small) and it works--not as good as it does for my ankles but the job gets done. I find these better for medium-small women. Men and larger women might have trouble with them.

It may work I brought mine for a ankle injury. To keep my ankle stable and compressed because I work in a kitchen for 9 hours on my feet.

Good. They will give you a little bit of traction to get you moving again. They don't slip much, if at all, on ice.

The length should work fine. It immobilizes your ankle (more or less) and doesn't need too much of your leg as an anchor.

It should work. It is not tremendously bulky. I have seen much worse. It provides some minimal restriction with the moving up and down, and it provides more restriction/stability medial/lateral. I bought it for a very active girl in several sports (basketball, soccer, and softball). Even though it is not the same type of running as a marathon... she made no complaints of discomfort running up and down court/field repeatedly or during conditioning at the start of the seasons. She has had repetitive ankle sprains. Since getting the brace....not one ankle injury!

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.

I would say yes. I currently use the medium(green) band around my ankles to strengthen my hips as well. I hope this 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.

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

There should be no reason why not, however, I never did because I purchased these as training skates for balance and to help my 4yr old granddaughter feel more comfortable on the ice... not for long distance skating... just to make sure she didn't hurt her ankles so early in the learning process... Happy to report she now runs on the ice, no longer needs to hold mommy's hand and this year is graduating to single blade skates!

Yes you can. To be able to do this you have to make sure that your height is exact. If you don't you can still do it but it will pull at your ankles

That would all depend on what you had on your feet at the time... it could be very dangerous. Great if you want to practice your balance BUT equate it to dancing on black ice!! I would be very careful!!!!!! Ask yourself first would I practice turns on a polished shiny granite floor?

I haven't tried them as ankle weights but I did buy a different one for my ankles when I run, also Reebok. You should just get that one -- they're perfect.

Yes! I myself have weaker ankles I have injured them a few times but I have had no problems with these
