Therapist's ChoiceCalf Support/Shin Splint, Universal Size

Wow... what a relief, literally!I started to do a lot of HIIT running lately to shed some fat prior to me weightlifting sessions. I started to get some crazy, intense pains randomly at night on the back of both my legs, mainly in my calfs and my edges of my shins felt very sore. The pain was intense and painful but never last more than an hour or so, but it was bad.At one point I thought I had (Acute) Compartment Syndrome, the pain was (or felt) that bad. I quickly realized it probably was shin splints so I hopped on Amazon to find something to support my calf(s) and/or shins and found this. At $9.99 I figured I'd give it a shot, worst case was I'd return it or just take a $9.99 lose and try something else.I ordered the Therapist's Choice Sleeve in conjunction with some Kinesiology Sports Tape and decided to try both on each leg and see what worked (at all) and what didn't work. After my first two days of wearing the Therapist's Choice Sleeve I noticed how much less stressed my (right) leg was compared to my (left) leg where I had applied the Kinesiology Sports Tape. I went two more days with the Therapist's Choice Sleeve on my right leg and the Kinesiology Sports Tape on my left leg. At this point, it was evident, the Therapist's Choice Sleeve was doing wonders.I then switched over and put the Therapist's Choice Sleeve on my left leg and the Kinesiology Sports Tape on my right leg as my right leg felt great and was far less stressed and less sore. I did my HIIT running with the Therapist's Choice Sleeve on my left leg and the Kinesiology Sports Tape on my right leg for a few more days and started to feel my left heel and feel less and less stressed from the HIIT running.I am now a believer in this sleeve and it works great, I will be ordering a 2nd one so I can have one on both my legs. It is THAT much more effective than the Kinesiology Sports Tape, by far.

I had just tore my calf muscle after stepping off from a curb. It was incredibly painful and I couldn't walk on my leg. Worst of all, I was going to be out-of-state on vacation, and I was worried I'd be stuck using crutches throughout, until I purchased this calf support. As soon as I wrapped it around my leg, I felt instant relief. I was actually able to amble about comfortably without my crutches. It really saved my vacation, because I didn't have to travel lugging around a pair of crutches. Moreover, I was still able to hike (albeit very carefully) while wearing this brace as well. I'm grateful to have found this calf support!Since this is made of neoprene, I found it helpful to wear this with a pair of soft snug knee high socks, as this helped keep my calf from getting uncomfortable from perspiring. Wearing it either way, (with or without socks) your leg will remain warm! During the first few weeks, I slept with this brace on, but within a few weeks I didn't have to. I believe this brace really helped my leg to heal well.This brace is easy to use and customize the fit. It also enabled me to enjoy my vacation, without being hindered by crutches and pain during my trip. This brace washes well either via hand or in the gentle cycle and hanging to dry. This product is reasonably priced and I received my order right on time.I'm so grateful to have I found this!

Had a “run in” (no pun intended!) with severe shin splints recently, with 4-6 weeks recovery, and this was a lifesaver! It was just the right size for me (female, 5’6”, 150’) fit perfectly, and offered a gentle warmth because of the neoprene. I wore it over black stretchy tights so there was no bulky material or wrinkles to avoid and it was hardly noticeable as I went out and about. I ordered a second one to have a spare. It was soft and comfortable, yet very supportive and perfectly adjustable with Velcro straps. I wore it tighter during the day, somewhat looser at night when I needed it. Highly recommend!

It supported my calf well especially less than last few weeks of recovery when I cannot wait to play tennis any longer. It help me to practice despite the injury and come back as early as possible.

Pulled a calf muscle while walking one day. I actually heard it pop. Limped back home with a great deal of pain, something akin to a charlie horse. After taking an Advil and elevating the leg i perused the Amazon pages for an answer. This calf support sleeve seemed suited to my needs. I ordered it an it was delivered in 2 days. it helps considerably. I am able to walk without discomfort even though my leg is not completely healed.

I purchased this for my daughter who was suffering from shin splints during track season. She wore this calf support during practice and at meets and said that she felt much better after running. She was miserable before she started wearing this and now she isn't in as much pain. I definitely recommend this calf support to anyone suffering from shin splints. *I received this item at a discount for my honest review*

Not as tight and supportive at the lower end of the leg. Fairly good support though while walking. Not air flow, gets sweaty
