Danskin Adjustable 10-Pound Pair Ankle Weights
I purchased these weights to wear on my ankles during daily work and replace another brand that I have. I own a pair of Valeo ankle wieghts but hated them. They were huge and filled with sand pockets. Now I understand why they want sand in those things, its to be easy on the skin and tendons. But what happens is that the sand accumulates on the bottom of the sacks and you have a massive bulge that undoes the velcro.
The Danskin Weights look nothing like the picture here on Amazon. In reality there are two small rods of metal one pound each and the three pound that are left are sand! Again with the sand.
How hard can it be to make a non-sand one? It will reduce the size by more than two thirds. If they are worried about the comfort they can coat them with gel.
I guess I expected too much from a Made in China product.
Rated 1 / 5
When I use all the weights in this, it fits well on my ankle. However, when I take some of the weights out, it fits poorly. I don’t have a particularly small ankle so I was surprised that a danskin product would not at least try to accomodate a woman’s ankle. It is a good product for me when I use all 10 lbs.It is made well and I trust it will last for many years to come.
Rated 4 / 5
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.

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!
