I've bought rollerblades and they do not support my ankles and I feel very wobbly. How are these for ankle support?

These have nice ankle support. I am an active person, so I'm not sure if having more developed leg muscles is the reason for feeling stable butt, all in all, you feel secure while blading.

It's definitely something you'll have to build up. Also, with softer wheels, such as the ones that come standard on these, it'll be more difficult on asphalt or uneven surfaces. If you have any bike paths, I would suggest starting out there to build up your ankle muscles. I noticed my legs bowing at first so I would say these have lower support than some other brands. Hope that helps!

only exceptionally light support unless you get one smaller than your arm which i do not suggest. you could cut off the toes of a tube sock if thats what you want..... :/

I find the anke holders surprisingly comfortable...as long as I'm wearing shoes. I've tried it without shoes and it placed too much pressure on my ankles feet. I use my running shoes and they absorb most of the pressure. The ankle braces have a quick release that will snap into place when most snug against your ankles...but it's not so snug that it cuts off circulation or anything.

Also, consider wrapping smaller hand like towels around your ankle area so they'll cover the top part of your legs. Where the table's foam rollers point of contact is there. It'll offer some extra cushioning and comfort.

They are very supportive and will save your wrist from bending in a fall on any surface, pavement or ice. However I don't think they would be good for ice skating based solely on the fact that they will get wet from the ice upon contact and start to harden up and might even run dye. Depending on how much your falling of course. I can't see a better choice for support though. They rock!

I'm a 9.5 and I got a medium. Fit well and did its job pretty well. I actually tweeked my ankle during basketball one time with it on...maybe 6 months in. It definitely helped, but doing that made me look for something even more sturdy. I use the ASO Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis - Black - Medium instead and really like it. It gives a lot more stability. It's made well and I find it fast to put on as well. I would get tripped up at times with the royce lacing-if you're familiar with old ice skates you'll know what I mean. You have to make sure you're on the hook right or you have to relace it. The aso is slightly more bulky but doesn't hinder anything for me. The aso happens to be cheaper than the royce right now as well, so you may want to check that one out as well-and the ratings. Good luck in you choice. And may your ankle be safe in its endeavours ;)

It is very true that these rollerblades run small. We originally bought them, in the "1-4" size for our 6-year old who was then just into size 12 shoe. They fit her from the first day and lasted for two years until she became a size 3 shoe. At that time we bought the next size up, the "5-8" and she is still wearing them and is not even a size 4 shoe yet. Her little sister (size 12) inherited the 1-4's and wears them at the smallest adjustment. So while they may not be exactly right for your 10-11 daughter right now they will fit her soon and will then fit her for a good few years. It is very true that these rollerblades run small.

Hmm. I've been using the boot for that too. I think you could walk in 2 of them. It really helps my ankle. I would see a physical therapist too...! hang in there.

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.

By getting another product! I wear boots sometimes in the winter and that's why I tried them, darn things fell down in seconds, hit the trash next day. So unless you like a cottony snake-like sock creeping around your ankles !!!! Hope my answer helps :)

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 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.

If you're really flat-foot challenged, I would recommend going to an arthropod who is a pro at fitting orthotics and is connected with good labs who make them. I've tried buying them in stores and on line. But my feet and ankles are a mess, and the best solutions have come from the doctors.

I have worn these with sneakers and cleats. I would say they are tight at first if the shoes are new and if you are not used to using ankle braces. I recommend either getting a bigger size in your shoes or try breaking them in over time.

These are ankle weights--of very high quality--but sized for ankles. Unless your wrist circumference is very large the ends of the weights would likely overlap. I don't know how this would feel; it would look a little strange. On balance I think you'd do better to get a good pair of wrist weights.

Well, I can tell myself; who is 55 years old and had plastic surgery from a horrific car accident that I use these ankle weights for short periods of time of exercise but under no circumstance should you use these for walking around the block or in the park. Only use these for " short periods of time " period.... Remember that I also have damaged ankles (broken left ankle and broken right foot with broken right leg )and other assorted maladies.

Hello, happy to help if I can. I bought these for my wife, her ankles are 5" in diameter. She reports that she can cinch these weights right down and they work fine for her. A happy wife is a happy life....
