4.0 out of 5 stars
Wish I'd been able to try them first..., December 25, 2006
The Good:
* I couldn't find these in bricks-and-mortar stores at all, and it was a relief to purchase them affordably through a vendor I trust.
* The 1-lb weight inserts make it easy to adjust the weight, with the cuff on or off.
* I have been using them for about two weeks, and the effect on my workout - and my legs - is tremendous.
The Bad:
* The cuffs are "adjustable" with two LONG velcro straps that wrap all the way around the ankle. No matter how carefully I wrap them, I just can't get them as tight as I'd like. Straps which wrap double back through D-rings would have been much more useful.
* The cuffs tend to ride down and dig into the tops of my feet. Cushioned by gel or not, I can't exactly call that "comfortable." I'm not sure whether this is specific to this brand, or typical of ankle weight cuffs.
Overall:
I do wish I'd been able to try these and some other brands before I purchased them. However, I'm delighted to have found them and with the results I'm seeing.

Nice Product, February 10, 2009
This is a nice product if you have a one leg injury. Be warned, THIS IS NOT A SET. This is an INDIVIDUAL ankle weight targeted for those with a one sided injury.
The metal bars are great because the other adjustable ankle weights with the little bags will eventually leak a coal like filling. These solid metal bars will not give you that problem. If you have the type with the bags and they began to leak, you can replace them with the metal bars from this product.
The double strap is very nice because it keeps the weight on without the straps twisting out of place like the single straps.
This product is worth getting but remember it's not a set.

will tear at the bottom of the weight slots if you plan on being somewhat active when using these. I returned mine within 4 uses.
