Use them every day.

I will start with the pros. The 10 lb. black weights are awesome. You will definitely be getting a good workout using them. -You can use them for general walking with extra weight on your person. -If you’re walking, they are great for lunges and high knees and butt kicks. -They are easy to put on and take off. -They work great for wrists, too, maybe even better. -The material/construction appears solid, after a couple of walks around the block, no issues. -They could possibly be converted into something worn on the torso, but I haven’t explored that yet. The Velcro gives one ideas. I gave them a trial run walking around the block. Not the best decision but I learned the pros and now for the few cons: -Since they are 10 pounds, which is heavy for wearable weights, they will sometimes bump against each other when walking. -The weights WILL rub against the Achilles tendon behind your ankle. I got a busted blister On one ankle and tenderness on the other while wearing them. I recommend Taking short distances while wearing thick socks under the weights. I changed into crew socks from ankle socks but the damage was done. -Related to the previous note, the material is durable and hard so it is not gentle on the skin. -The weights are a little bulky so be ready for the way they look when you wear them. Think inflatable armbands. Overall, they are what I was looking for and I have zero regrets buying them.

World’s strongest hook and loop connections! Heavy but removable weights. These are large weights, they’ll slip down below ankles and could drag on the floor. Too much to leave to walk on the street so be aware these are really good in-house.

Would have liked to see some metal weights included with this set instead of the bulky sandbags that they use for ballast. If you remove some of the bags, the rest of the weight becomes unbalanced and uncomfortable. I have to imagine the plastic bags they use won't last too long if you're adjusting the weights frequently, leaking sand everywhere

Well worth the money. Definitely good add-on to leg, glute, hip workouts and when doing pull ups. Even just walking around and lifting your knees up more throughout the day if you can wear them freely. Great deal to get two ten pound weights. I don't find them uncomfortable to wear. I'll definitely wear these when going on walks in addition to a weighted vest. Plan on getting another set to wear on forearms.

The weights are sand or something else you can change how much by removing or adding bags problem is the bags are not very strong I’ve had 2 rip already not very dependable when changing strength l would not buy but if you do I raped the bags with duck tape hope it works you get what you pay for I guess

Reviews for this class of weight can be silly, including categories such as "most stylish". This product is not. It also includes far more weight than anything else I could find. The product is simple. Two holders, each with one large zipper that closes up five pouches, and two long velcro closures. Each pouch has a two pound plastic bag of sand which can be individually removed for any combination desired of weights distributed around the holder. Using the zipper is only required when changing the weight. Normal use does not require opening it. The holder is robust and completely surrounds the sandbags, which appear fragile and need to be handled carefully when not in the holder. Inside with the zipper closed, they seem to be in no danger at all. Donning and doffing is simple. Wrap the product around your ankle above your boot, thread the velcro through the buckle and secure. The velcro is plenty long enough to accommodate from zero to all five sandbags included. Doffing can take some work to peel off the velcro, which is extremely strong. Everything is black so finding the end of the velcro strap takes a moment. I am 77" tall and the product fits around my ankles with plenty of room to spare. I currently use only two pouches per leg so there is considerable free velcro length. I do not anticipate any issues with all five installed. With considerably smaller individuals, the product will wrap around more and the velcro goes all the way around so there should be no issues. I wear knee high socks and have no issues with comfort. The product has no sharp edges or exposed velcro on the inside but I would not recommend use on bare skin. Full height hiking boots work great, I do not know how trail running or other low shoes would handle something of this size and weight. Four pounds per leg makes a very substantial difference in effort in my morning walks. Getting to the full ten will be very marked and provide great benefit. Recommended.
