Would the thumb lock fit over a big toe? (I need foot weights that will put the weight on the ball of my foot rather than around the ankle, so I can strengthen my ankles using point-and-flex movements of the foot.)

Hi Cheryl, I am trying it now..... And yes it does fit around my big toe nicely & then tucks under to Velcro. I think this will work well for you. I love mine for wrist weighs when walking. Just to let you know, I am 112 lbs. & wear a size 6 shoe. Still think it'll work on a larger foot!

I wish that I had a bigger lock to try for you but all I can do is eyeball it. I have the lock that they suggested. The hole that you have to place it in is large enough...but I am afraid the larger shank might make it awkward to use. Also note on the suggested lock that the shank is a bit longer in proportion to the lock on a standard lock and I believe that is part of it. Think I would buy their lock.

Yes. I have used this product on a big toe; it appeared to work quite well. NOTE: Be sure to follow the directions on the side of the bottle carefully. Good Luck!

Good question! The fit of the pedal to your shoe is key to your question. My foot is a 9D which works fine for light shoes. The clip can easily hold my hiking boots with thick Vibram soles. If your shoes have long toe boxes, the ball of your foot will be slightly behind the pedal spindle which is fine if you ankle through the strokes. If you pedal with locked ankles it may feel as though your toes are carrying the stroke weight which will fatigue your arches on long or hard rides. A size 13 foot should be OK with the VP's If the shoe's toe box is short and snug to the foot.

If there is a will, there is a way, it is a small light weight light so you could hang it if you chose to. Literally a thumbtack would hold the weight I believe. Of course you want to use something stronger...but yes you can figure something out very easily.

You are not able to do ankle locks obviously. But u can do some knee locks. Arm bats and Kimura are possible but not realistic. Good for price especially for throws and slams and ground and pound

Yes, if you don't mind the little thumb tab that extends up from the basic wrap. I tried them on my ankles and they were long enough to attach securely. (Of course, I have rather thin ankles.) Hope this helps

Sure, yes. It's only designed to protect your heel, and does not extend to the toes. So you shouldn't have to worry about shoe size (length). I think this will work just fine for you.

Yes, it can. However, these go up to 10lb each ankle. You can pull weights to keep it in the 1-5lb. range, but if 5lb. will be your maximum weight, then save by buying 5lb. max wights.

Problem is it would require a larger shoe than the one you are probably wearing. If you are not walking on it you may be able to get by with your existing shoe but it would have to be loose. I think because there is no way to keep it from sliding you may end up with a blister. I believe they have another product that has a strap that goes around the ankle that would keep it in place and keep it from sliding but you would still run into the same problem of it being larger than a sock.

You have to use the ankle bracket to lock your feet tightly before you up side down. There are different frame hinges to adjust fitting different foot size. For myself, I always wear the sock and sport shoe when using the Mark Pro Max. I have used it everyday for over a year. It really get rid of my low back pain. But, I have to remind everyone, do NOT use it if you have the high blood pressure. It may cause stroke.

It will fit,but I would use moleskin. The moleskin will stay in place when you put on you shoe. This product will not stay over your joint if the shoe is tight.

It really depends on the shoe. I have a pair of those "five finger" shoes and I had no problem getting it on. So if your shoe isn't bulky at the top or the sole, you should get it on easily.

It's meant to be fitted onto the second and third toes, so, no, it will be too tight on your big toe.

My wife uses this brace too and she is 2x, there seems to be plenty of extra strap for a larger leg but our bodies are all shape differently. Where some might have massive thighs some others carry their weight around the waist if you are normally proportioned I can see it fitting you. Take a chance I would anyway refunds are easy with Amazon!! Sometimes you just have to go for it!!!

I think the ankle support would help your ankles.It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.
