Calf Compression Sleeves - Leg Compression Socks for Runners, Shin Splint, Varicose Vein & Calf Pain Relief - Calf Guard Great for Running, Cycling, Maternity, Travel, Nurses

I’ve been dealing with shin splints from running for months. I had to take time off; kept my legs iced and elevated, and I used a lot of Ibuprofen. After months of resting, I would try to run, but each time, the pain would return. I couldn’t even use the elliptical machine. I was frustrated beyond description. I seldom visit a doctor - even the thought that I might have to call, created anxiety. Thankfully, I checked out Run Forever. After reading the reviews, I figured it would be cheaper (and less complicated than a doctor visit,) so I ordered the calf sleeves. They arrived last week. I’ve been running ever since! As I sit here and type, I have NO PAIN! I don’t know what will happen when I increase my time and miles but for now, I’m a happier camper.Size: I am a 63 year old female who is 5’6” tall and a bit overweight (but muscular for my age). My calf measured 14 inches so I ordered a size large. Fit and comfort is subjective, however, I didn’t think the large provided enough compression.Customer service: If I could, I would invest financially into this company based on their care and concern for their customers! I sent email to inquire about the fit. The representative informed me that for shin splints, I probably would be better off with a medium. She sent me a new pair that arrived days later! I am blown away and very grateful. I’ve told a few people about this company. Other businesses should pay attention.. treat people right and you’ll have them for life.

Honestly, if I could give it a hundred stars I would. I have severely nerve-damaged lower legs and arms from my long battle with cancer. Walking for me has become an exercise in extreme pain. When I get up from sitting, I can barely stand on my legs - particularly the left one- from the pain and swelling involved. I've been switched to Methadone to try and keep up with the mind-shattering pain - it's that bad. And even that doesn't really do much for the pain.But these...wonderous items- DID!They really provide the exact amount of compression without being constrictive. They really live up to the company's claim that you won't be able to tell they are on your legs. The sleeves greatly reduce the swelling and discomfort associated with my nerve damage. When I get up now to walk - and when I'm walking around during errands- I no longer 'mince' my steps because of the swelling and such. Yes. My legs still hurt, but they are 15000 percent more functional then they were before trying the sleeves.So, whether you need them for sports, or if you are like me, and need to find something to help with daily pain and swelling, you SIMPLY CANNOT DO WRONG by spending a few dollars and buying these sleeves.And I know that there are hundreds of companies to choose from to order these sleeves, but I humbly suggest sticking with this company. They personally followed up my purchase, NOT to ask for a good review, but simply to make sure I had no questions or concerns or issues with the sleeves. They even responded immediately to my email telling them I was in love with their product. They genuinely seem to care about APPRECIATING the customer and not just providing 'service.' It's near impossible to find this kind of appreciation in the cyber-retail world.

My calves have been very tight for some time and no matter how much stretching I did I could never get them from being so tight. This was causing pain into my heal and foot. I have been wearing these compression sleeves all day and night since I received them (for about 1 week now) and the tightness in my calves is almost non-existent now. I no longer have the pain going into my heal and foot. These really have been a life saver. I've also had restless leg syndrome, which my wife said was really bad when I slept. Since wearing these all night I have not had restless legs.

First, these worked perfectly. I was running 3-6 mile days and every time I went over 4 miles, my shins hurt. I was cutting back on my long runs. I do not use them every time, but I do every time I go on my 6-8 mile runs. No more shin splints. Awesome.Second, the top of my calves are exactly 15 inches (and thin ankles). I was on the fence between a M or an L- I went with the M. They are very tight to take off, so when I am exhausted after a long run, I need a second to rest before I try to get these off. I was was even slightly over 15 inches, I would go with the L. That said, they are tight, but I haven't had pain, so they are doing what they should be doing. Excellent product!Finally, I am 5'7, these could easily be for someone taller, significantly so, they overlap my ankle length socks, so sometimes that is a bit tight, I would consider/reconsider if I was much shorter, but for someone with quite a big longer calves, they should work just fine.

I am a recent sufferer of shin splints in both of my legs, my right leg being the worse of the two. I had seen my Dr in August after 3 weeks of pain, I had a 5K to run the first week of October and I wanted to be able to run the whole event. Nothing worked for me. I stopped running, I stopped going up hills and training, I took it easy after work, and ice only helped to numb the pain; NOTHING WAS WORKING. A week before the 5K and I needed to do something to help me get through the race, that's when I found these compression sleeves. And sweet baby Jesus they're amazing. I wore them every day to work (10hr days) and felt GREAT after, no more hobbling around or taking extra breaks.But the real test was wearing it to the race this past Sunday. And you know what? I RAN THE WHOLE 5K and only walked for 10 seconds to massage my calf. I FELT AMAZING, these work so well! I will and have recommended them to anyone I talk to about shin pain because they have truly worked for me. I will definitely be purchasing this brand in the future should I need more pairs.Sizing: I have a 17" calf (*cough* hills *cough*) so I purchased the Large size and woo is it tight. You have to scrunch it up to get it over your foot/heel but then it's fine after that.Material: The material used is very good quality, it's soft and on the thicker side. Definitely worth the price.

Didn’t realise I couldn’t return and they are to large so no good 😌

These are very good compression sleeves for the calf. The fitting is snug without being too tight and the quality is up there. Recommended .

Excellent calf sleeves which are perfect for my old calf muscles. They seem to aid recovery and warm my muscles up quickly.

They fit as expected and arrived early unfortunately they don’t help me much with the pain in my calf’s

Made well, arrive quickly but a bit too tight. I would say the size guide is ok. Ordered the next size up.
