If you’re looking around for some wrist/ankle weights, these are a good choice. Here’s what I like the most about them:
-they’re adjustable. This is clearly their best feature and saves you having to buy multiple weights of different increments. No need to buy a 1lb weight, then a 2lb weight, and then a 3 as you get stronger on an exercise- with these, you just take out or add what weight you need
-the price is comparable to other cuff weights and a cheap means overall of doing exercises where you need added weight
-they’re portable enough that one could throw them in the car when traveling
For me, this is the way to go if you’re looking for some cuff weights to go along with your home exercises. A word of caution- while it says “10 lb adjustable weights”, that doesn’t mean each cuff is 10 lbs- rather each cuff is a made up of five, 1lb cylinders for a total weight of 5 lbs for EACH cuff.
Good for general fitness or home physical therapy exercises, they’re a great little product. Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow for those looking for a good resource on tennis elbow.

I am a cross country runner. In the midst of the season, I decided to get into 5:30 min a mile speed.
In order to do so, I decided on an ankle weight purchase that could help build both strength and stamina.
For my ankle, these are very nice.
—Comfort—
I do not know why people are saying that this is uncomfortable.
Material feels like that of a North Face vest. It feels nice and I feel great jogging with them although
I had to get used to the feeling of extra weight.
—Weight Adjustment—
Adjusting weight is little bit tedious but not as bad as some review points out.
Only thing that bothered me was the strong stickyness of the wrapping belt? which I had a hard time trying to open.
Weights were consisted of sand material, thus, pulling it out and putting it back wasn’t that difficult to do.
HOWEVER, I must point out that when you are adjusting weight to 2~4 pounds, you must make sure you positioned it on your ankle so that
it feels balanced. Otherwise, it will feel unbalanced and will move during running in terrains.
—Wrist…—
This is not a wrist weight. You must buy a wrist weight if you want to use it for your wrist.
You could wrap around your wrist, but it will feel awkward.
Also, you cannot have five pound on your wrist because unless your arm is big as body builders, it will not fit in your wrist.
I have a decent sized forearm and four lbs was the maximum weight I was able to tightly fit on my wrist section of forearm.
—Overall Conclusion—
This is a good buy and probably one of the best bang for the buck weights.
Quality feels durable and I felt like I would purchase this product again.
However, I gave it a four star due to poor description (each weight is 5lbs/pair not 10lbs/pair)
and poor usability as a wrist weight.
For ankle weights, this is perfect for any type of trainers, athlete, or regular exercising.

I’m male, 5ft-5in (165cm), 130lbs (60kg). I use these Valeo AW10 weight as ankle weights. I also have similarly designed weights which use cast iron inserts, but for use as ankle weights I prefer these Valeo weights, as the softer inserts are much more comfortable.
When tightened snugly against bare flesh, the 10-lb cast iron ankle weights dig painfully into the top of my foot, and the bones of my ankle. I also wear these Valeo weights “upside-down” so the thick bottom seam doesn’t dig into my foot. (Don’t worry… the inserts aren’t going to “slip out”.)
The Valeo AW10 weights fit me snugly enough, but I have them about as tight as they CAN be closed, and the smaller diameter of my ankles is probably similar to an average-sized female, so smaller women may have trouble with them slipping. I don’t think anyone smaller than a large male could possibly use these as wrist weights.
Overall, I have been satisfied with the design and construction of these Valeo AW10 Ankle/Wrist weights.

This product is 10lbs total. Each leg is only 5lbs. Just so you know.

I was expecting two 10# adjustable ankle weights. Instead I got two adjustable 5# weights. Description was not clear. Not worth sending back due to the weight and cost of shipping. If you are very weak, these might be adequate. But even older adults doing strength training soon are able to lift more than 5 pounds per leg. Difficult to put on. Would very much benefit from a velcro stap to hold weights on ankle, until strap is put on and tightened. I like the 7 1/2 pound adjustable weights by Millenium better.
