Wouldn't buy again. The core issue is compatibility — if you're running adjustable dumbbells, these simply don't work well with them. Beyond the fit problem, an ankle cuff and cable attachment cover the same training ground more effectively and with less hassle. Hard to recommend when better alternatives already exist in most setups.

Got these when I simply didn't have room in my basement for a leg extension leg curl machine. They do an OK job at leg extensions but can be a bit awkward to get in and out of. The rubber fell off mine and the latch mechanism can be uncomfortable. They aren't a viable option for leg curls. So if you are desperate for isolated leg extensions these may be worthwhile but honestly you're better off saving your money until you either have the space or resources to get a proper leg extension/leg curl machine.

Overall it’s a decent piece of equipment with solid build quality and a small footprint, which is great for a home gym. That said, I don’t use it as often as I thought I would. Since the dumbbell isn’t held separately from your foot, switching sides or resting between sets feels awkward and slows things down. It’s also a bit unstable for leg curls and extensions, which could be a positive or negative depending on what you’re looking for. Overall, it’s well‑made and compact, but the usability keeps it from being a regular part of my routine.

Great idea but incredibly awkward in use and a pain to set up. I feel like old school ankle weights do a better job but are limited by the amount of weight you can do.

Cool in concept. Not great in execution. More difficult to set up then it should be.

Hot trash of an item. Sold them for pennies on the dollar after trying to incorporate these into my program. They don't work with most adjustable dumbbells. Uncomfortable. Awkward. Better off with a glute ham roller and some wedges.

I was hyped to get these to have more leg movements in my home gym. I was greatly disappointed in how difficult they are to setup. It’s awkward and and inconvenient. If you truly don’t have room for any other leg equipment, I’d still be cautious in recommending these as I would skip exercises due to how much of a pain they could be to use. In theory they are great. If you’re dedicated to using them and have plenty of time for setup then these will be good enough.
