These are good, I like them and would recommend them. Some things to beware of though..
(1) They have worn a hole in the top ankle area of my trainers. I only used old trainers so OK, but please don't wear these with expensive new trainers.
(2) Only wear on dry surfaces. I notice that on slippery surfaces if your foot starts to slide it goes away from you with much more force than normal (the weight is in exactly the right place to add to the momentum of a slip). It can throw your balance if you're not expecting this.
(3) Only wear on flat surfaces, if you twist your ankle it will twist much more violently than normal (you have a big weight right on the pressure point).
These points excepted, I use these weights every weekday.
Additional note: I've walked about 360 miles in these and they're starting to leak small metal balls and need replaced. I've liked using them and I'm buying a new pair of the same type right now. This is just so other users can get an estimate of how long these may last.
