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!

Good product

I’ve been using these for 2 weeks now. I walk/jog 3-4 miles daily, 6 days a week and tend to have shin splits and ankle problems often. I was tired of using sports take even though that usually works best for me. It’s expensive and not reusable, so I decided to give these a try after reading the reviews.So far, I’m pretty satisfied with them. I am 5’1” and currently weigh 148lbs. I bought the smaller of the two sizes and it fits my calves fine. They’re not completely tight like many other compressions out there, but surprisingly they work decently against my shin splits. It doesn’t take every bit of pain away, but the pain becomes manageable with these on. I particularly like how comfortable they are and that they have a grip so there’s no sliding at all when I’m doing any physical activity (I’ve also used them during my cardio workouts).I would recommend these and actually just bought a second pair today to gift a friend who also has the same issues as me.

These are so comfortable and help relax my tight calf muscles especially when running. for the price they can't be beat. They fall a bit when running, but I bet after a wash they won't. Doesn't matter the quality for price is worth it. I loved quality so much, I bought the knee sleeves too. I went by the chart and the size was spot on.

I have a blood clotting disorder and my hematologist recommended compression socks for long trips and airplane travel but I HATE socks so I opted for these instead. I wore them over and under leggings on a 5 day road trip across the country and while I did have some swelling in my feet and ankles, it wasn't nearly as bad as two years ago when I did the same trip. They were comfortable to wear, you can feel the compression but it's not super intense, they were breathable, my legs weren't sweaty. Pretty easy to get on and off. I think there could have been a little more compression without it being uncomfortable. Overall super happy with this purchase.

These sleeves are the best calf sleeves if you are looking for moderate compression and warmth for running or sports. I have tried a lot of them. These are on the thicker side for this style sleeve but they have lovely stretch and provide warmth with breathability. The best thing is the top and bottom cuffs are actually comfortable - they stay in place without digging in as most do. The price is great for the pair too. These are great for general support and comfort for running or sports, but if you need tight compression after a calf tear as I did, you might want something firmer. I highly recommend the NEO G Medical Grade Calf/Shin Splint Support (on Amazon), a great heavy duty sleeve if you need therapeutic compression post injury.
