Can this be used for running or does it bounce around too much?

you could use this for running but you would have to either pad around your ankle or run with boots on, because the weights would eventually start hurting your ankle as they went up and down inside their sleeves.

Hello, I think this is really too heavy to run with. If you put it tight enough, it should stay, but once the velcro ages and wears down, it will not stay due to its weight.

If you apply it tight enough around a thick athletic sock, it does fine...at least at the lower weight (5 lb) that I was using it....The design seems good, so if any such ankle weight works, it should be this one....

Absolutely! Just adjust to get a good fit, and you'll be ready to go. The cord is a bit rigid, which could be a little annoying for gym use, but running would work!

I would think it would be OK to use as long as it's on tight enough. We obviously had our dog's on too loose because she wiggled out of it twice! It should be fine for running because it does seem to be sturdy too. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, let me know!!!!

No, it's velcroed on so it doesn't bounce. If anything's moving, you need to tighten it up.

You can secure it as tight as possible with the strap. I'm sure it may move a little but that may also depend on what's in it. I can secure a notebook and iPad in it and run a 400m without it moving at All. (maybe even longer)?

yes absolutely.....It's strong enough to be over a room or two...ps - I wear it on my waist when I run. No issues! It's pretty much awesome!!!!

It makes noise when running. Whether its to little or to much is a matter of opinion.

I'd definitely say it could be worn for running. It does not restrict movement and is light weight.

My son weighs 240#s and he jogs and walks on it. But if you are a 'big dud' I would make sure that my floor was stable for the bouncing up and down while running. I've had the machine for 2 years the only problem I now am having is that the controls on the side handles sometimes don't work. Those on the console do fine however. Also place it on a mat if you get it because it dos leak black particles on the floor.

You can run in it, but expect a good deal of bounce.. As far as sturdiness goes the answer is absolutely not. The material is weak and doesn't last, as it cannot withstand use like real leather does. It will hod your weapon tight as long as it lasts, which probably won't be very long. The funny thing about that is that there are VERY sturdy varieties of faux leather out there, but for some reason they chose not to use any of that. This weak stuff is like what you might find on a baldric from a costume shop.

They don't bounce around at all. But as others have said, they really aren't sweat proof. I've had two of these things do the same thing - the buttons stop responding due to being shorted out.

The wheel has a switch to lock it in place, so you would not encounter any wobbling if that is engaged. I jog (not run) with it unlocked with it having free range of motion. I have never encountered wobbling or shaking nor have lost control, but I limit my use to smooth paved surfaces.

I have not experienced any bouncing, especially with the side arm up and secured (with the prop). I have really enjoyed it.

Yes, but I have noticed when I jog with it locked it seems to pull to the side a little. I normally run with it unlocked and it doesn't have a wobble like I have encountered with other joggers.

The max speed is 4 miles per hour, which could get you to a decent jog. But its not really designed for running. It doesn't have hand rails to hang onto, or padding to cushion the stride.

Not at all. There are two clamps on the front lines of the vest that tighten it down, and the reflective belt fits snug up against your body, so no bounce. Just order your size based on your measurements.

It doesn't have a high bounce, BUT I use it in the traps and it works just fine. I have skulked a few but thats probably user error.
