I purchased the 10 lb. (5 lbs. per ankle) package thinking what a great idea it would be to add some extra weight to lose extra pounds. Well, first off this theory is a great idea but when ankle weights are as poorly designed as these you might as well strap 2 bags of potatoes on your leg. These are Very Bulky and although they strap on easy enough, once straps are tightened the pain begins... I started with only 3 lbs. per ankle, "weights" are actually 5 mini plastic covered bags of a sand like material, be careful when you remove these they are liable to rip. After about 3 days of working out with these weights I developed a nasty blister/pain at the bottom of my shin, seems like weights move as you walk (even when properly tightened) and rub at the part where foot meets leg. I tried using these a couple of more times but pain only got worse, these were thereby put in Mondays trash pickup and never heard from since. I'm sure there are better designs out there but AVOID these at all costs, very disappointing!
