Ankle/Wrist Weights (1 Pair) for Women, Men and Kids - Fully Adjustable Weight for Arm, Hand & Leg - Best for Walking, Jogging, Gymnastics, Aerobics - 1 Year Warranty

I am changing what used to be a 5-star review.Having read what others have said about the issues they experienced I previously gave this a 5 star review and added the caveat that I was not using these roughly in any way and that they were purely indoor so that may be why I, unlike others, did not experience quality issues. However, now I have begun to experience those issues as well despite the very light use so I really can't keep a high rating on this.About a month ago one of the weights developed a tear (in an area that doesn't really experience a lot of stress on the material, so I have no idea why) and was leaking the metal pellets that are inside. This is on top of the general quality concerns I was willing to ignore like the reflective material lining the edges easily wearing off. I haven't even owned these a full year and while I have owned them they have been used only 2-3 times a week at most. At the time I noticed the issue it had maybe been 8 months since I bought them. Product just isn't durable at all.This is in regards to the 5lb weights, maybe the lighter weights don't experience these issues as frequently. I wouldn't suggest these at all.

Horrible quality, item tore after 2 uses. Metal balls now everywhere in my living room for me to clean up! Buyers beware!

UPDATE: I'd like to update this review based on Nordic Lifting's outstanding customer service related to this matter. I received a very nice email within hours of the initial review. They apologized and asked for photos so they could contact their supplier with specific issues. I have received a total of three emails from them following up on this. They have advised me that they are sending a free replacement and are working with their manufacturer directly and specifically on this issue. Good job on the customer service front! Now, the product was defective, so I'm not raising the number of stars to 5 - we'll see how the replacements do - but I am giving them 4 stars for outstanding customer service. Good customer service goes a long way with me!Initial Review: I would give these zero stars if I could. They fell apart and filled shoe with the little pellet weights almost immediately after putting them on. They fell apart literally within minutes of trying them on! Worst craftsmanship I have ever seen from an Amazon item. Returning immediately. I hope they stop selling this junk. This is the first negative review I have ever written about an item purchased on Amazon.It’s kind of hard to tell, but the heel the shoe is filled with the weights/pellets that fell out of the ankle weight. Dissatisfied does not begin to cover it.

I was so glad at the beginning to finally settle on this product. However, the stitching broke open near the Velcro strap, causing microscopic beads to fall after minimal use. I'm disappointed in the product, and would not recommend it. See picture.

These weights are perfect and so comfy—I love the reflective trim around the edges. My first order were 5 lb weights and I had to return them because they were too heavy, they were actually a total of 10 lbs, 5 lbs per leg, which wasn’t mentioned clearly in the product description, or maybe I missed it.The second order says 3 lbs on the box but the total weight is actually 6 lbs—three lbs per ankle-weight. Other than the misunderstanding in the total weight of the product, I am satisfied.Update: after wearing the ankle weights to the gym, I had to return them. The reason is, they caused me slight pain and discomfort at the area where the strap attached. I was unable to work out and jog with them on. I tried readjusting the straps and it worked for a minute or two but then the discomfort returned.(Maybe I'm not use to this style of leg weights. These are replacements weights, I wanted to try a different style and wanted a different color. See images of the previous brand).

These are great for use during work outs but also just wearing at home or hiking. It is only 6 pounds of extra weight but it feels like 20 after a couple of hours! I use them specifically to target an ankle injury and the extra weight actually helps balance and support. What I don't like about the design of this ankle weight and most other ankle weights is, the actual cushioned weight part goes only partially around even a small ankle. Which leaves a good 3 or 4 inches of your ankle exposed to the constant scraping of the velcro strap. Ouch. There are other companies that make ankle weights that are about 4 inches longer that do not do this, but these are overall okay for the price.

I recently suffered a minor knee injury and my Physical Therapist recommended some ankle weights to put on when I take my walks. I have never used these sort of weights before, so I relied solely on the reviews posted here to purchase these. These are very easy to put on and take off and are pretty comfortable. In fact, after I (pretty quickly) got used to them, I don't even notice them while out for my daily walk. I cannot comment on suitability for runners because I don't run. But for those who take daily walks, these are pretty nice.I would recommend that anyone just starting any sort of exercise regime to purchase weights on the lower weight end. I bought the 2 lb. weights and 2 lbs is a surprising amount of weight, although as I said above, I did get used to them fairly quickly.Additionally, I appreciated the email I received from the vendor shortly after ordering the weights. The vendor provided his contact information in case I had any questions or issues with the weights.

Bought this set for knee replacement rehab. The 3 lb. (6 lb. total) set is good to use in several applications of the workout. Applicable for upper body when used on wrists. Very well made. The Velcro and latch buckle keep the weights securely on. The trim is reflective for night use. The company's literature includes very supportive info. Proper adjustment of any exposed skin via socks, etc., will get rid of Velcro rub being a problem. Got this set on sale, hence excellent quality for a nice price.

Pretty good so far, doesn't feel heavy and its easy to workout with and im enjoying adding it to my workouts.
