Zensah Running Leg Compression Sleeves - Shin Splint, Calf Compression Sleeve Men and Women

I tried other compression for calf’s and they are always way too long making it bunch up. I’m 5 foot tall with 14 inch at the widest on the calf. I ordered the size according to the chart and it’s true to size unlike other companies. I will buy more from them 100% I spent less money on like 4 other pairs that didn’t fit, finally sprung for this one that’s more then twice as much and it is extremely worth it. I want all the colors now lol 10/10 for shortie tribe runners

Bought S/M according to size chart recommendations. Calf is 13.5” diameter. Sleeve so large it wrinkles on back of leg due to loose material.

Our daughter is a D1 pitcher and she gets shin splints on her plant leg. This is from the repetitive nature of all of her weight slamming down onto that lead plant leg. She always used KT tape but these compression sleeves worked better and are much quicker and easier than using the tape.

I severly injured the shin muscles in my left leg in 2005 by being a stupid runner. Overuse with no rest days, not properly stretching, not replacing my shoes as I should...Physical therapy healed me as best as it could, but my shin would still bother me. I gave up running for good in 2008 and switched to "traditional machine" cardio (elliptical, rower, etc.) until last year, when I became tired of icing my leg every day and being in pain. Now I swim and usually don't have shin pain from my workouts. However, if I am on my feet for too long (I stand for a good portion of the day at my job) or go up and down hills or stairs (I lived on the third floor of my apartment building for the last two years; I moved to a ground floor unit two months ago) my shin let me know its displeasure.I actually had been in slight pain daily ever since the move (I packed most of my things myself and carried many items up and down the steps) and decided to try these sleeves. Even though it's usually only my left leg that bothers me, I figured wearing one on my right leg won't hurt anything.I've had them a week and WOW what a difference!! No more pain! I put them on after my swimming workout and wear them while I stretch, and then for the next half-hour as I drive home, put away my gym items, and drink my protein shake breakfast. I then put them back on again once I get to work.I've noticed, first and foremost, my leg doesn't hurt anymore! These have helped more than Advil and ice therapy. I haven't even needed Advil or my ice canister since I've been wearing these. On top of that, my legs feel fresher, and I seem to have more energy and more spring to my step. I bought a second pair so I can keep one in my gym bag and one in my work tote.They are very comfortable to wear, not hot or itchy at all. I barely even notice they are on. If anything, it feels like my legs are being gently massaged.I am 5 feet 5 inches tall and wear a size 6 pant, but I have muscular legs. According to the size chart, I was on the border between the x-small/small and the small/medium. I ordered both, and the small/medium size fit, whereas the x-small/small would barely go over my foot and ankle. If you have muscular legs or are on the border between sizes, I would encourage you to go up a size.If you have any type of shin pain, I highly recommend these! I wish I had discovered them in 2005. They could have saved me years of pain!

After taking an extensive hiatus (~4 years) from running I decided to resume my long lost passion. I was a bit overzealous starting out as I was caught up in how good it felt and found myself quickly adding on distance. I went from doing about 10 mi/wk to 40/wk in about a month and a half. You can imagine the expletives my 36 year old shins were shouting at me daily. They needed help mending so I could keep going out and doing what I had loved doing for so much of my life. I looked into the problem and found these sleeves. What was even better was that they're made in the USA! I decided to get two pairs. After placing my order, I waited...eagerly. Upon arrival (I'm currently overseas so they took about 3 weeks to reach me) I promptly put them on and took off for an easy 4 miler. They worked great from the first step. My shins felt better and I actually found my pace picking up a bit, too. That was 2 months ago now, and I still use them on four to five days a week on every run. I use one pair during a run, and one pair for recovery afterwards when necessary. One downside, and it's kind of a steep downside at that, is one of the four sleeves is tearing at the seem which connects the uppermost cuff to the body. I have to be very careful when both putting on and removing that sleeve. The others are still fine but I worry that within the next few months I may end up having to order another pair so I'll end up with five good sleeves, assuming the others hold up. But they do work and my shins have made it known to me how appreciative they are for these modern day miracles.

I like the fact they no one knows I'm wear them.

After reading many mixed reviews, I had an open mind on what to expect. Wow they work for me. Suffered with intermittent mild shin splints, these have massively eased the discomfort. I have worn them during a run and after for recovery. Don't think I've felt much benefit during my run. But I believe they have helped with recovery when wearing them after.

Exceeded all my expectations. Since taking up running again 18 months ago after a break of many years, I suffered from continual calf aches - not enough to prevent me from running, but enough to take the edge off my enjoyment. I found immediate benefit from the leg sleeves with aches whilst running being reduced by about 90% from first wearing and aches when walking almost entirely gone. Now after three weeks wearing I feel much more confident in my running and my training times have improved as a result. A brilliant product!

I've suffered with bad shin splint for 15 years - to the point that any fast walking would trigger them, let alone running. I tried Physiotherapy, ultrasound treatment, massage, insoles and a variety of running shoes - no luck. Since the day I began wearing these sleeves - no shin splints. At all. Shocked doesn't cover it! Such a simple thing. I've now begun taking part in 5k races and I'm building up to a half marathon next year. Well worth the money and I will definitely buy them again when this pair wears out.

Poor quality manufacture. These leg sleeves developed a hole in the side seam the first time I wore them. I bough S/M for a15 " calf following the sizing guidelines.Comfortable but ineffective as they fell apart.

These are amazing, I was wondering if they would actually work but they cleared my shin splits right up and if I forget to wear them out for a run I do feel the difference. Can't live without these now!
