2XUUnisex Compression Calf Guard

I have been having some calf problems and compression guards were recommended. I have been using them for a few weeks, using them for running and cycling and so far I have had no issues, which is a positive result. I do have a minor criticism, which another reviewer has mentioned. I take a 91/2 shoe and have knobby ankles! After measuring my calf the chart recommends a small compression guard - With this size I struggle to get them on and off, and i am little nervous if they are going to rip. Obviously they are designed to compress the calf so I shouldn't be surprised? It would be interesting to try a different manufacturer and compare the fit? Anyway so far they intact and I would recommend giving them a try.

Good sleeves, good compression although after several uses during removal one of the sleeves has torn a bit on the bottom seam. Send them back and awaiting replacement

Great for running

I reviewed a number of similar products and opted to spend a little more on the 2XUs as I was concerned by comments for cheaper calf guards which had a tendency to fall down during exercise. I have been using these 2-3 times a week for about a month now and am delighted with them. They are easy to get on and off, fit well and feel tight enough to be useful but not too tight.

Having been a runner for many years, I had reached an age where I was suffering from regular calf injuries, to the point where I was seriously considering having to stop training. These calf guards have helped me run pain and injury free for the first time in months. They provide great support and have given me the confidence to keep running. The best bit of running kit I have ever bought.

Good price, I know they are compression socks but they are a small fit. I can just get them over my feet to get on. Still happy with them though.

I read a lot of reviews and looked at a lot of products before deciding on these. I suffer with calf strain on my left leg when I go out jogging, my calf sometimes feels so tight it might explode so any relief was worth trying. I have to say so far so good, it can't eradicate the problem completely but it definitely helps, I noted one tip that seems to be true - don't take them off immediately when you finish running, leave them on a couple of hours and it helps a lot.

Bought a pair of these years ago, they were good, very good. This supply is now poor, cheaply made, go elsewhere!
