Would the thumb lock fit over a big toe? (I need foot weights that will put the weight on the ball of my foot rather than around the ankle, so I can strengthen my ankles using point-and-flex movements of the foot.)

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!

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.

I would say you can, I wear it with my high top sneakers while playing ball. It was a matter of breaking it in and after that you forget it's there. I would imagine your boots have been broken in so that'll alleviate that part. I would recommend wearing the brace and boots around the house to get things going. It is a thin brace with great support, I would suggest you go with this over any other brand as I did my homework and shopped around. Good luck!

My wife uses this brace too and she is 2x, there seems to be plenty of extra strap for a larger leg but our bodies are all shape differently. Where some might have massive thighs some others carry their weight around the waist if you are normally proportioned I can see it fitting you. Take a chance I would anyway refunds are easy with Amazon!! Sometimes you just have to go for it!!!

yes , I wear mine lose, but you might have to stretch it some if you have big ankles

Hi, my wrist are huge! If you have small wrist, you will be fine! It adjust small enough to fit my thumb.

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.

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!

The width of the foot should not impact how this product works. There is a circle that fits over the big toe, and then a tongue that hangs down the side of the foot, covering and padding the bunion. What might have an impact is if the big toe is a lot bigger than the part that circles the big toe. The circle is quite stretchy but at some point it could become too constrictive -- sort of like a rubber band. I was able to comfortably stretch my gel guard circle to go around 3 fingers -- which measures out at about 3.5 inches in circumference.

Yes. I have used this product on a big toe; it appeared to work quite well. NOTE: Be sure to follow the directions on the side of the bottle carefully. Good Luck!

Yes, it can. However, these go up to 10lb each ankle. You can pull weights to keep it in the 1-5lb. range, but if 5lb. will be your maximum weight, then save by buying 5lb. max wights.

It really depends on the shoe. I have a pair of those "five finger" shoes and I had no problem getting it on. So if your shoe isn't bulky at the top or the sole, you should get it on easily.

I wish that I had a bigger lock to try for you but all I can do is eyeball it. I have the lock that they suggested. The hole that you have to place it in is large enough...but I am afraid the larger shank might make it awkward to use. Also note on the suggested lock that the shank is a bit longer in proportion to the lock on a standard lock and I believe that is part of it. Think I would buy their lock.

The construction itself will allow for more weight than I imagine you will be putting on it. I am using them for a tall footboard. I am not sure if the design is a little off or if there is no "universal" size for the hooks but the footboard has a slight wobble. This hasn't been a safety issue but I wish the wobble didn't exist.

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

No....The thing probably wont even go on your foot! I ordered a large size and it was so small it wouldnt go on. Not a good product.

No, it uses velcro to hold the big toe in place. You can adjust the velcro to keep the big toe from bending more or less.
