Would these be suitable to use as ankle weights?

Yes, if you don't mind the little thumb tab that extends up from the basic wrap. I tried them on my ankles and they were long enough to attach securely. (Of course, I have rather thin ankles.) Hope this helps

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 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.

I didn't like the Water Gear ankle weights. I found them uncomfortable. I bought All Pro adjustable ankle weights, which I love. They are very comfortable and adjustable in 5-ounce increments up to 2.5 pounds per ankle.

I can't say for sure but I think they would be okay for that. My problem was with gripping the weights and the fingers stretching out that the material bunched up at the ends of the fingers.

I think the ankle support would help your ankles. It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

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!

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!

If you try to run I think they will shake all over the place. I don't think it's good to run with ankle weights...if you ask me. I use them for hip and butt exercises and the work great. If you want to add weight to your running the get a weighted vest or wear a heavy back pack. Good luck.

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.

I doubt they would work. They are not that strong and the movement of the leg would undoubtedly loosen them.

I wouldn't use these where cross-contamination is a concern. The weights are covered in fabric covered neoprene and can only be spot cleaned. Additionally, the weights will only fit an ankle or wrist that is approximately 3 inches in diameter.

These are used to stretch you ankles, calf muscles and can help with balance. This is the first thing I use when starting my workout.

Biomechanically running and walking wearing ankle weights is bad on the knees and feet. It would be better if you used them to do leg raises on the floor to strengthen all the muscles around the hip and knee, and also for abdominal work. Good luck!

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)

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!

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

I think they would work well for you. They are flexible and light. I recommend.
