Valeo AW10 10 lb. Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights

These work great as paperweights but that's about it. I used them once and tried adjusting the weights. The little packet does not go in easily at all. Plus the black cover on it ripped almost immediately. I was not using a lot of force but it just came completely undone. Then the inner packet broke and that grainy stuff went everywhere. I tried using them still but they were very uncomfortable. Going to try another brand.

I wasn't impressed with these, they were bulky and awkward even after removing some of the weights. I don't recommend them.

These weights are horrible if you ever actually remove the weight packets to adjust the weights. I bought both the 5 and 10 pound versions and both do the same. It does not matter how gentle you are. the little weight bags split open right off the bat, and when they do they leak grey, gritty, nasty sand everywhere. These are useless! I'm going to end up returning these both the same day they were opened. If there was a zero star option these would get that.

Recommended by my physical therapist to strengthen my thigh muscles. They're easy to put on and take off. Otherwise - they're weights - what can you say?

These were fairly cheap for 5 lb. (each) weights, but I don't find them too comfortable. I have thin bony legs and when I put these weights on, they hit a pressure point at the top of my foot, which can be very painful. I'm sure this could be remedied by wearing them over thick pants (I don't prefer to do that) or some other method of padding. People of other builds will no doubt have different experiences They're quite bulky - I don't know if you can get 5lb weights that aren't - so I can't wear them surreptitiously under my pants when I go out (like I can with my 2.5lb weights).

Another annoyance is the dual velcro straps - which are very tough and won't come undone but are actually hard to to pull off, and often get tangled up in each other.

I just wish these were more comfortable to wear. When I'm in the mood I will put them on, but more often I wear my 2.5 pounders instead, even though those feel positively light in comparison.

I have never tried using them as wrist weights.

When it comes down to it these are for strengthening your legs, not making your legs comfortable. I think they would be nicer for people with thicker legs, and the velcro straps are just an annoyance, not a reason to avoid buying. They aren't luxury and there may be better 5lb ankle weights out there, but these are selling for a decent price.
