Is this product suitable for wrapping around insteps for walking in order to sttrengthen hips
150021
Yes, I do it and I have my clients do it all the time. The quality of these bands is far superior to others I've had and they hold up well to being walked on.
150022
I would say no. It is better used to wrap around a pole, like smething on your weight bench, and then your ankle. Bring your leg back and exercise your muscles using the resistance the band creates. You can also step into the band each end wrapping around your ankle, and walk sideways across the floor and back, again using the resistance to strengthen muscles. That's how I use them. Good luck.

I would say yes. I currently use the medium(green) band around my ankles to strengthen my hips as well. I hope this helps.
150024
Yes, the bands are strong and the 3 different sizes make it easy to try various lower body excercises.
150025
They're pretty tight and the circumference is not as big as I had thought it would be. It might be better to buy a regular band that you can tie to adjust to your stride.
150026
I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

I actually wrap them around my ankles, or right above. Then in my routine, I walk sideways. I admit, I'm still on the "light" band! And I do feel the work being done for the outer hip area as well as the upper thighs. Fantastic workout.

Yes. The fabric in the hip area is very stretchy so it doesn't inhibit movement.

I would not think that this product would work for this use. I use it as a protection from toe rubbing on a shoe. It is very soft and does not have the stiffness needed for straigtening.

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps. Wayde

Hello, this belt was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I had hip pain resulting from knee injury. Anyway, he said to wrap it around the hip bones. It did help but because the band was not wide (top to bottom) enough, it did not stay in place and would slip out after a short while. It would have stayed on better if it's a couple of inches longer in height. I ended up not using it at all. If you decide to wear it anyway, it would work for walking, but keep in mind that if you sit down, it will slip out.I hope my feedback helps. My apologies for the delay in responding. I was out of town. Hello, this belt was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I had hip pain resulting from knee injury. Anyway, he said to wrap it around the hip bones.

Sandra, I got stuck with tape that is not ever usable. I wanted to use it like velcro for my pants withouthemming them and then unstick them when I put my high heels on. This was useless. I'm not sure that it would be strong enough to do what you want.

I think if you attach the tracker to your shoe or sock, it will work best. I find that up higher doesn't count all the activity. The hip area might work also, depending on what kind of dancing it is. My suggestion is to try both and see which one works best for you and the specific activity. I LOVE my tracker!! I recommend it for whatever activity you plan on doing.

I have not worn inserts myself, but believe these are thin enough to be worn with whatever you have that goes inside your shoe. They're good for any kind of foot pain that's from the front part of the arch and forward. I used this inside my sock to help me stay on my feet when my foot hurt. When that wasn't tight enough to allow me to put in my daily 2 mile walk, I added white tape around the outside of my sock. The combination allowed me to continue. These are inexpensive, so try them. Follow instructions for wearing and washing to keep them in good shape.

It should work, they stretch good enough for movement but not as much too loose its shape. You should be ok since they fit snugly.

No. The strap isn't long at all and I'm fairly thin so I would not buy it if you need to wrap it around your hip and thigh. It is very good however if you are lying down or just applying to to the areas you need. I guess what i'm saying is that it's a great ice pack, but that's as far as it goes.

I would think so! It is really strong stuff. I put it under my orthotics to hold in place in my shoes. The stuff is so sticky I don't think they will ever be coming out. Good stuff!

Probably. I wrap almost all of it around my upper thigh and hip. My hip size is around 42".

i read some other' reviews; their complaint is that when it is "wet" (due to sweats) then the tape would slip; i can see that, it seems that it works well around the toes cuz there are lil spaces around them to move or slip. Short answer, it may not be good for your needs. :/

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.

I think it would be ok for you. It is so flexible, that if it feels too long for you, you can just wrap it around behind you without it getting in the way.

Hi Cheryl, I am trying it now..... And yes it does fit around my big toe nicely & then tucks under to Velcro. I think this will work well for you. I love mine for wrist weighs when walking. Just to let you know, I am 112 lbs. & wear a size 6 shoe. Still think it'll work on a larger foot!

No. I wrap my ankle with it and elevate the foot for the 15-20 minutes I wear it. Too spongy to walk.
