Calf Compression Sleeves for Men & Women - Ideal for Running, Sports, Shin Splints & MoreOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

Bought these after reading a review and was a little bit skeptical at first but they do actually work quite well. They’re comfortable and easy to get on (sizing was perfect even though I have different-sized calves after a previous Achilles injury) and felt and looked good. I do actually think they give me a lot of support in the calves and looking forward to wearing them for my race this weekend.

These are absolutely amazing, at a fair price as well. Comfortable, good material and genuine compression. Much much better than the compression stockings you get after a surgery.I’ve now ordered 2 more, as am extremely satisfied. One thing though. If you have sensitive skin like me then highly recommend washing them before use, as caused some itchiness right out of the packet.Beyond just recovering from surgery, there are several benefits to decent quality compression wear - I won’t go into too much detail but the calves are medically and scientifically recognised as ‘the second heart’, for a good reason. Veinous return improves significantly from using compression, meaning blood reaches the heart more quickly to be replenished from the calf-pump effect. Especially helpful if you’re on your feet all day, or need to sit down for a while on a long. Prevents blood pooling too. That said if you’re lying down then they aren’t of any use, as gravity isn’t working against you like it would when standing or sitting.

I am glad I read a previous review about sizing. I went for 'M' but have very big calves (more genetic than anything!!) and use these to aid recovery after running. I don't think they would be tight enough in 'L' for me. God knows who would need XL to get any kind of compression!They do feel like they're slipping down ever so slightly. If you grab a premium brand that cost 2x or 3x the price like the ones I actually use when running, they'll not slip down at all and are just much better quality.Size down.Fine for recovery.Wouldn't run in them, as they'd slip a bit.

Bought these due to a calf strain. Instant relief when wearing them. Will wear them when I exercise next time. Stayed in place all day. Excellent.

Gives strong support to calf and helps me to run safely.

I'm not a runner or sports person but I do walk a lot (all day if you were to count my profession). I've had veins for years, never a problem other than ugly and had hospital stockings provided as an alternative to surgery. Over the last 10 years my lower legs have become increasingly painful and achy, I've had restless leg syndrome and night cramps that constantly woke me. The hospital stockings always gave rest bite from all of these but are cumbersome and difficul to put on and take off. I saw the calf supports by accident and thought for the money they were worth a try. These are so easy, they gave me instant relief and after only a few hours of wearing after collection my nights sleep was completely transformed. No cramp at all, a very slight ache (not complaining after a few hours trial) and legs totally refreshed.I've worn them all day today since waking at 4 for dog walks, at work for 8 hours with little time off my feet and next for the evening walks, they stay in place and are comfy and I have great expectations for tonights sleep.I thoroughly recommend this product for anyone that suffers as I have, they equally match the prescription stockings I have but without the difficulty of putting on and taking off, they also target only the area I need them for.I ordered a size down because the sizing measurements were quite a difference and also as I'd rather feel the pressure as it was intended.I cant vouch for how long these retain their support as I've only had them 24 hours but I.will certainly purchase more as and when needed.I think this product is underselling itself by only targeting runners and people who take part in physical strenuous activities.

Tried but not comfortable.

After struggling to put compressed stockings in and out this seems to be a convenient choice.
