Rank #1 in Best Ankle Weights 2026: 10 Ranked, From £25.11 to £4.40 a Kilo
Sportneer Ankle Weights, 4.5 kg Pair, 5 Sandbags Each
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Sportneer Ankle Weights Set takes the top spot on one number: £4.72 per kilo. At £21.24 for a pair the listing gives as 4.5 kg, it costs less per kilo of resistance than anything else in this guide — more than five times less than the £11.55 set, which works out at £25.11 per kilo for its 0.46 kg. It arrives as two cuffs, each listed as adjustable from 0.45 kg to 2.25 kg by adding or removing sandbags, and it carries 4.4 stars from 9,036 ratings.
The same listing shows why the headline number needs checking. The title sells a pair, the bullets say "2 ankle weights" are supplied, and the Special Features field says "2 pairs included" while Number of Packs is listed as 2. Those statements cannot all describe the same box. The Size field simply reads "4.5kg", which is the weight of the pair at full load rather than of a single cuff. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it is written there, not from any test we carried out.
How those 9,036 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Just what was needed. Feels good quality and weights don't feel like they will fall out easily. Possibly a bit loose for those with smaller ankles but won't fully slip off over your foot in use. Very easy to get on and off, feels like it will be a good addition for walking workouts!”
Verified purchase“Good quality, easy to adjust weight. Was surprised the weights are filled with sand.”

Questions people ask
How heavy is the Sportneer set in total?
The listing gives 4.5 kg as both the Size and the Item Weight, which matches the 0.9 kg to 4.5 kg range quoted in the bullets for the pair.
Can I use it at less than full weight?
Yes. The bullets say five sandbags of about 0.45 kg each slot into the cuffs, giving 0.45 kg x 2, 0.9 kg x 2, 1.36 kg x 2, 1.8 kg x 2 and 2.25 kg x 2.
Does the price buy one cuff or two?
The title says a pair and the bullets say 2 ankle weights are supplied, but the Special Features field says "2 pairs included" and Number of Packs is listed as 2. The listing contradicts itself, so check the pack description before ordering.
How much does the Sportneer set cost per kilo?
£21.24 for 4.5 kg works out at £4.72 per kilo, against £25.11 per kilo for the 0.46 kg set priced at £11.55 elsewhere in this guide.
Are the weights sand-filled?
Yes. The bullets describe five sandbags of roughly 0.45 kg each, and one buyer says they were surprised the weights are filled with sand.
What is it made of and how does it fasten?
The Sportneer AAW-01 has a neoprene outer shell with a reinforced seam, and hook and loop straps that the listing says adjust to any wrist or ankle.
