CompressionZ Calf Compression Sleeves for Men & Women | Running Shin Splint Support - Footless Socks Varicose Pain Relief

I’m a long-time user of compression products for blood pressure support. My go-to brands are usually Bioflect for leggings (easiest to get on compression products) and Sigvaris for socks and full hose. I was looking for calf compression and separate ankle socks for days that my hands are acting up to making the process of compressing my whole legs easier. Cardiologist recommended compression shorts of 30%+ spandex (Knix, Sunzel, and CRZ yoga have some with this criteria! I prefer Knix out of these with CRZ yoga second just to personal preference to the fit themselves, quality is good with all.) to go with knee high or over the knee socks if I’m not wearing full hose. Once I found brands for that, I built up a good supply of Sigvaris knee and over-the-knee 30-40mmHg options, but some days those are difficult to put on. These calf sleeves feel just as nice and are very easy to put on compared to socks. They support well and feel equivalent to my Sigvaris. The black color is nice and opaque. They stretch fine over my heels and then support well without pinching anywhere. I paired mine with SB Sox compression athletic ankle socks, which provide 15-20mmHG on the foot and ankle. I sized down on my socks (size 9 women’s shoe should be medium and I chose small) and they compress perfectly in conjunction with these sleeves and my shorts.

This item has been a God-send. For a while I had a lot of knee issues, specifically my right knee and both calves and shins. I had bad shin splints before a 5k last month, a few weeks before that run. I ordered these sleeves a week or so before the run, but unfortunately they arrived after I ran. But that was ok. After my run and in the days to follow, my shins didn't hurt but my calves were very sore and tight. I didn't know when I'd be able to run again. I ordered these sleeves specifically because they said they'd relieve sore calves and stop the shin splints. Verdict: They did just that. I haven't had any need pain in my knees at all since these sleeves arrived last month and since I immediately started using them. I've used them anytime I've gone running, and while a lack of endurance has stopped me from running very far like I used to on a regular basis right now, I've been able to run more and run more without stopping a lot because of these sleeves. I haven't had any tight calves or shin splints, any pain at all, before, during, or after any run. They've been great so far. I thought maybe it was my shoes that have been the cause of my knee issues, and while that still could be the case, I've still worn them for shorter runs along with the Compression Z calf compression sleeves and I haven't had a single issue at all so far (knock on wood). They've been great and the answer I needed for my calves and shins. I plan on wearing them in my training for a 5k in early June and during that run. I recommend these to anyone suffering from sore knees, sore calves, and if you have shin splints because they've stopped the pain. Not just during a run and after, but the days to follow after a run as well. Great product.

I purchased 4 pairs (two navy and 2 white) size large. I purchased these sleeves because I recently had a TIA and the MD recommended wearing something that would help to prevent blood clots in the legs. I'm 6'0 tall of average weight. But when I tried the compression sleeve I ordered (L) it was too loose and did not provide any compression at all. I'm returning these back and I ordered the replacements in a size Medium. My recommendation is that you measure your calf and not go by height chart. Other than that the sleeves feel light and seem comfortable to wear. I'm looking for a compression sleeve that I can wear all day and these seem light and breathable. Looking forward to receiving my correct size. I will update my review when the correct size arrives and I get to try them on. **UPDATED REVIEW** The compressionZ sleeves are awesome! The correct size provides the perfect amount of compression. They are not too tight and do not constrict, yet you can feel the compression. Wore them all afternoon yesterday in the hot, humid So.FL heat and they felt less hot/sweaty than wearing a normal cotton t-shirt. When I took them off they were not sweaty or moist. I can easily wear these all day without any problems and eventually wearing them when I can go back to working out in the gym. Looking forward to wearing these CompressionZ sleeves to prevent blood clots.

Everything was great. Only problem is I bought the medium size and don't feel so tight as I thought. So be careful with sizes as being close to the limit might be tricky.
