I do use them for tennis. But then I have really expensive, supportive tennis shoes on, like asics gels on. My problem is more my knees, so with these it corrected the supination that I have, so my knees hurt less. The asics, and the prince T22's and the nike shoes I wear keep me from having ankle problems.

Sadly, I have Plantar Fac. and I do wear custom insoles and I can no longer run, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question. I can tell you I wear the heel wedge under my custom insole and it really helps me to walk more inward instead of outward. Good luck.

I wear them for dancing. You aren't going to have arch support with them. You probably will need to glue them in place or something... They seem to slip towards my toes in my shoes sometimes.

I would suggest checking with Tuli's to see if they have heel cups just for supination. I have shoes for my supination and put heel cups in the shoes.

NO, its makes your leg stiff for protection but can be difficult to run in, I used it to play football, ended up taking them off because of the tightness and immobility it caused. Your better off purchasing a 2nd degree or 1st degree wrap if you want run in them. This is for 3rd degree ankle sprains. Don't get me wrong though there strong and great for it your not doing any physical activity and provide great protection for until you get back to 100%. Best of Luck.

I was given the recommendation to buy these buy a friend. When I received mine, I really wished that when I was an athlete I had a pair like these. In my opinion, they are the best athletic wear headphones I have ever recieved. Of course, they're not going to be 100% tangle free all the time, but its rare for my pair to due such. My friends would agree, they're favorite part about these is when going on runs they don't tangle. Since I thought they were brilliant,I gave all my friends who are major athletes some for Christmas. All of them have loved these headphones. My suggestion would be that if you are looking for headphones to meet the requirements you have stated, As long as you do not mind paying a little extra for this feature I would say they would be beneficial for you.

As a father of 3 nationally ranked runners, I have found that anything that softens impact during workouts helps both prevent and reduce the pain from spurs. I just handed my one of my sons a pair yesterday for his trainers, and I keep about a 1/2 dozen pairs of these rotated through my daily wear and workout shoes myself. The minimal running fad (thinnest shoes possible) was a catastrophe in my world. Also, Dr. Marten's shoes for daily wear are a God send.

I would not run in this product with the five pounds in each ankle. You may be able to use two to three pounds without worrying about the Velcro coming undone. I haven't tried more than power walking in them with all five pounds and it is fairly awkward feeling.

It created too much pressure on my knee cap. get one with an opening over the knee cap. I am a zumba enthusiast also! With a bad knee, I always wear leather or suede soled dance shoes which allow your feet to twist and turn with your knee. Zumba.com also sells a slide sleeve to put over your sneaker instep, I haven't tried them myself but classmates have liked them. One tip; if you get the leather or suede soled shoes only wear them in class not across the parking lot, and they will last forever. Good luck!

Sorry I missed this earlier. I hope I'm not too late. I would believe so. I exercise in mine regularly. Though I am not a runner. They hold in place quite well.

I am a runner too. These headphones don't really work for me. I run with my ipod in my hand so it might be different for someone who uses an arm band. But I don't like the volume control. It is heavy and bounces around. I try to use the clips to prevent this...but the clips are in awkward places that dont really work. And sometimes my arm catches on the cord and the buds and clips go flying everywhere and I start swearing. Also if it a hot day and I get sweaty, there is no hope, the buds slip right out. I do however Really like the Sennheiser CX 685 Adidas Sports In-Ear Headphones. These do not have the volume control and clips... much more simple. The buds always stay in. I am a runner too.

Hello Howard. I am not a physician, nor am I a professional physical therapy person. Therefore, I strongly suggest you discuss the swollen ankles problem with your doctor. He/she can make recommendations. I pray for your well-being.

I bought it for my mom, it is not designed for that & come in one size. It is not good, but she decided not to have me send it back, good support, but not for big swollen ankles. I suggest a good old ace bandage. Or see a doctor.

Honestly I mean I guess it would depend what you were doing in them. I run in them and love them and they have awesome sound. Now would I use them during my martial arts and stuff? Not likely but if you wanna run I don't think I have ever had a pair of s11's fall off so I would recommend and I'm not running usually on just flat ground it could be any terrain so I hope that helps ya out.

Yes, i have many people who are using them successfully. It depends on how far the bunion has formed. It's definitely not a quick fix. You are trying to re educate your feet, and learn how to properly distribute your weight so when you walk your weight distributes more on the outside arch. Ideally you could find a good body worker. Bunions sometimes start because of the way your legs are distributing the weight in to your feet. These are lines of force that need to be redistributed. And then of course the kinds of shoes you wear are incredibly important. I hope this helps. John William Johnson, licensed massage therapist

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.

I am not familiar with this condition. So I googled it. It is only my opinion that I think it would help. I purchased this system for my plantar fasciitis which is heel pain. I found that following the protocol was extremely helpful. I was told to learn to live with my condition, get special shoes or opt for surgery. That was not an option for me. Diligence is required and getting past the initial pain is key. It was a "hurts so good" because I got tremendous relief. I no longer have plantar fasciitis. I don't know if this answer has been a help to you but I believe it is definitely worth the effort. Occasionally I still use my walkers when my feet are tired.

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.
