Crucial Compression Calf Sleeves for Men & Women (Pair) - Instant Shin Splint Support, Leg Cramps, Calf Pain Relief, Running, Circulation and Recovery Socks - Premium Compression Sleeve for Calves

Forget Bottom-Line, this product and customer service is so good, I will give you the Top Line and save your time!! This product and the complementary PDF guide on Shin Splints has allowed me to increase my exercise regimen from 2 days a week to 5-days a week within 10 days! Need more convincing, eh? I got you, fam. The sleeves are comfortable enough to wear all day and their effect is easily appreciated during physical activity. The pdf guide had concise explanations of Shin Splints in layman's terms to get a solid grasp of the disorder for those without a medical background. Furthermore, the Crucial Compression Family did an excellent job thoroughly explaining stretching routines and exercises to alleviate and prevent the pain of shin splints, even going a step further by providing proper illustrations! Lastly, it's quite obvious from the detail that went in to making this product, as well as the customer service provided by Crucial Compression Family that they really care about providing a product that leaves their customers satisfied. Also, they give you discounts for future purchases, which is dope! I don't really know what else to add! Still not convinced? Not a problem! I used to play soccer a lot, and my personal routine, apart from official team training, was running around with a soccer ball, which I affectionately called Wilson...for obvious reasons. Anyways I often suffered from shin splints if I didn't pace my training routines properly . Unfortunately, due to the trench-warfare of attrition that is "life", I lost interest in the sport (they call it anhedonia, but that's beside the point), and subsequently gained 40 pounds over the course of a year. Then I listened to Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" and got all hyped up.....cause clearly, I am very basic. Then I started boxing to get back in shape, which felt apt, because of the aforementioned song. I usually warm-up with 5 minutes of jump rope and then 5x3minute rounds of heavy bag punching (that is current routine, it was less when I started). Boxer style jump rope puts a lot more stress on the shins and calves because you gotta jump with both feet, just enough to clear the rope and shift your weight on each foot. Then many punches in boxing require pivoting of the foot, which further exacerbated the stress on the shins and calves. Goes without saying, I got shin splints. Then I saw Crucial Compression Sleeves, and bought them and now I can train without any pain. Yeah, I realize that was a completely verbose backstory with a barely passable mention of the sleeves, but I already told you I had nothing else to add. If you are still reading this, it clear that you are second guessing the instincts that are telling you to buy this product, fam!

I've been wearing these for a week now with amazing results! They fit perfectly, they are easy to put on and take off. I have worn mine multiple days in a row before washing. They are so comfortable and add just the right amount of compression. My calf pain has reduced significantly, it feels really good to walk around with the sleeves on, almost like there is a little more pep in my step. An added bonus, they also help to keep me warmer on these chilly days. I would recommend these, I am ordering another set for when my others are being washed.

The Crucial Compression Calf Sleeves are very comfortable and have greatly helped in my shin splint pain in my left leg. They also appear to be of very good quality. One problem I have is that if you hand wash them by hand/air dry them in order to keep them for a long time, they can take more than a day to dry. More important is that my calf messages 14 inches and the small is just fits right. A smaller calf may not give the compression one needs.

Very impressive sleeve, soft and supportive, functions without being restrictive tight

I purchased these calf sleeves to hopefully aid in the prevention of blood clots, because due to a rare autoimmune disease, I am in a high risk category. Although the main treatment is through medication I wanted something to increase blood circulation while sitting in a car for my frequent long trips. I also tend to wear them around the house or when my wife and I go out. They're very comfortable and seem to give just the right compression. Tight enough to hopefully do their job, but not restrictive at all. I can wear these all day without any discomfort whatsoever. There is no way for me to tell if they help with the prevention of blood clots because I'm hoping I'll never get another one regardless of whether I'm wearing the sleeves or not. But they seem to help my legs from getting fatigued, which in itself make them well worth the money.

These things are amazing! I ordered because I started training to run a 4 mile race for charity and I went a little too hard a little too fast and have myaelf some pretty decent shin splints. I only had a week til the race and the pain was getting worse. I needed to do something fast! These got great reviews and I can see why! The first day I got them I ran 4 miles without any shin split pain at all! I have 14 inch calves and I got the S/M and they fit very well. I was worried at first because they were loose on my skinny ankles I have. But they work like a charm! I will say, once you have worn them for a while, the grippy dots at the top that keeps them from sliding down will leave a nice ring around your calve lol but it goes away. I would totally recommend these to anyone! Also — tbey have amazing customer service!!

These support sleeves fit me just ok; I was expecting more compression than what they actually provided, especially after a few uses. Another important detail...do not wear these directly on your skin or the little latex dots will RIP YOUR SKIN. In only one use for less than 4 hours, these ripped through both of my legs and took a couple weeks to heal the damaged areas. Red, irritated, painful and itchy dots and the band lines were etched into my legs for over 2 weeks. The only way you can wear these is by using them inside-out, or using OVER a layer of tights. My calf size is 15", I am using the small / medium for 11-15" sized calf, and they are not tight enough. My wife used them as well with a 13" calf and they had zero support for her. The product would be better with a smaller diameter to actually fit the calf size they are marketing the size for, as well as removing the latex / silicone beads from the tops of the sleeves. They are not necessary to hold them on your legs if the sleeve is actually properly sized. Unfortunately these two sets will not have much usage because of these flaws. I found a better fitting pair that doesn't have the painful beads on them and am much happier.

Great for leg pain
