 Some Relevant Details January 13, 2010
Warrior Foo (California)
I wanted to point out a few things that weren't clear when I bought these weights:
1. Each band is equipped with removable weights (2 1lb bars each) so you can lighten them if you need. However, the inserts are not made of sand, but of metal, and are very hard and can bruise your ankle bone if you leave them in.
2. The box says that these are NOT to be used for running or walking.
3. They are too big for me, I'm a size 4 female with small ankles and I positively swim in these. So be wary if you want them to fit snugly.
My rating is partly based on disappointment, I bought these because I thought as they were designed for women they would be small enough to fit me, or at least adjustable. And I thought I could use them for hiking.
 If your ankles are not elephant's size they won't fit November 9, 2009
A reviewer (New York)
I had to return them. They are not adjustable and they are too large for a woman's ankle.

It is as described. Fast delivery. Easy to use and it comes with a pamphlet of possible usage to follow. Fine product quality and my wife says it looks good too!

I was disappointed with the quality of this. I expected more from a Danskin product, but these have worn out quickly: they've stretched out of shape and tiny holes are all over.

IMO, these ankle weights are DANGEROUS and should be RECALLED.
They do not appear as in the current picture. They contain a large pouch on the front (as worn, middle as resting flat), filled with sand. The pouch sits on the front of your foot, and gravity pulls the sand to the bottom of the pouch, making all the sand weight balance precariously on top of your foot (or your shoe/sneaker). Gravity then works further on this weight, to pull it to the side (usually the inside) of your ankle.
There are two heavy, hard metal bars in pouches on either side. These weights are supposed to rest on the sides, toward the rear of the leg. However, as gravity, assisted by body movement, pulls the big pouch of sand to the side, one bar begins to rest in the front on the bone, while the other begins to rest in the rear on the tendon. As you move, these bars bang against your bone and your tendon, potentially causing pain and damage. This has caused me enough pain, to the point at which I had to halt my workout.
I have tried various methods of positioning and fixing in place the weights. Some slowed the movement, but none stopped it. IMO, this product is simply not worth the risk.
