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 wouldn't particularly use them for that purpose. They provide great wrist support for lifting, but no support or padding for the hands and striking.

I don't think they go up high enough to support the ankle. I use this to support a weak upper foot near the ankle. For ankle support, I think you would meet something that goes up higher onto the ankle. The main reason I purchased the Wellgate Slimfit was because it did not go high up the ankle as I didn't need support on the ankle itself.

These are very light and close-fitting with minimum restriction of movement. I think they would serve your purpose very well if you are looking for ankle-to-knee protection.

NO! They will sink like a brick! Awesome and excellent for fitness/strength training ONLY! They are heavy and stiff.

You're right, Liz. It TALKS about the other choices, but only ALLOWS you to choose the one-pound weights! That IS a problem. Perhaps you should choose from other velcro ankle weights?

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

I bought these for that same purpose and no...they won't work for that. They are very light-weight and delicate.

I bought them for toe positioning. Due to lower leg weakness, they weren't useful,but I think they would do what you want.

I'm not certain they will help your knees and hips, but they did help my ankles stop hurting.I think they are worth a try.

I think as long as it is a leg and not a wheel, they would work very well. They are very dense and sturdy.

It's flexible and has velcro adjustment straps, so it'll give a snug fit on any ankle size. I use it for knee extension exercises and it works great. If you're using it for something like weighing down your foot while running, it may not be appropriate while fully loaded with weights. The fit can be made very snug, but nothing is going to be tight enough to keep 20 lbs from sliding down onto your foot.

Just 2 .... So you get 2... 2.5lb cuff weights. I use then as ankle weights too.

I use them for ankles and wrists. The only concern is to make them a little (+ 2 small waits) heavier for your ankles, so I usually do the ankle exercises at different sessions than wrists. This way I avoid changing in the middle of exercising.Enjoy!

Yes. I purchases these weights for my granddaughters. We have tried several different leg weights and they both say that these weights are so comfortable. One plays basketball for her HS. And her sister is on the dance team. They both run 2 miles every day and love these weights. My basketball player uses them during practice.

I am traveling and do not have my weights with me to measure. However, I would say give these a try. The velcro tightens quite nicely to fit snugly around ankles and wrists.

I would not use these for that purpose. I don't think they could support that kind of weight.
