Physix Gear Calf Compression Sleeves for Women and Men - Calf Compression Sleeve for Running, Provides Calf Support and Shin Splints comfort, Compression Sleeves Calf for Enhanced, Blue, S/M

My first impression of these upon trying to put them on was wow these are tight! After getting them in place however that impression was replaced with wow these feel great! They fit very tightly to my legs but in a secure comfortable way that definitely makes my legs feel much better during a vigorous workout than what they normally feel without them. I like to play full court, full speed, basketball a lot and as a result I have nagging shin splints that just seem to never go away even when I give them periods of rest. Since the price on these were so good I decided that I had nothing to lose with giving them a chance and after wearing them the first time I was amazed at how much they decreased my discomfort from the shin splints. My favorite two things about these sleeves besides the awesome price is that they always stay securely in place and they are very breathable so your legs don't feel sticky at all while you are wearing them. A side benefit to these especially if you wear them while playing a sport like basketball where you grab a 2-3 minute breather from time to time is that they keep your shins and calves nice and warm while you are taking a short rest so when you start back nothing has cooled off and tightened up. Although these seem very durable I have only been wearing these for about a week so I have no idea how long they will last but the price on these is so good and they get the job done so well that even if they only lasted a month I would consider the money spent more than worth it. There were also some power bands in the box with these sleeves for anyone who might use those but since I don't I just gave them to my son and last I saw he was using them to shoot rocks like a slingshot. In short, I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a nice secure, breathable, compression sleeve. I bought some compression sleeves a while back at a large sporting goods store that starts with a D and rhymes with Ricks and they were not nearly as comfortable as these and even worse they were three times the price!

First set I've ever purchased, so I'm not sure what other brands feel like in comparison - however, these seem to be made pretty well. I have no frays in the fabric, or strings sticking out anywhere.The compression is spot-on for me, they are tight enough that I can definitely tell they are there but not so tight that I loose feeling anywhere. I bought these for an achilles problem that popped up about a month before a half marathon I was training for - used them on every training session and the race itself without any problems at all. They never fell down, never moved.After quite a few times in the wash, they are still in the shape they were when I bought them. I don't dry them in a dryer, I just hang them up and I definitely don't use hot water when I wash them (in case you were wondering)Overall I've enjoyed them and I've purchased 2 pair of these calf sleeves and a pair of their socks because of it. They are just as well made and I've had zero problems with those as well.

These compression sleeves were exactly what I was looking for. I used to wear compression socks but noticed that my feet would get sweaty/smelly after my shifts due to the material they are made from. So, I got these sleeves to wear under my socks. Problem solved. These sleeves are a little long for me (I'm 5ft tall) so I tend to wear them over my heels. See photos. This actually helped with my ankle swelling so now it is my preferred style. If I wear them starting at ankle, it would be a little too long and can go over my knees. I love the strength in the compression and glad this size fit my big calves (approximately 14.5in circumference).Customer service was great as they worked to fix the problem I had with one sleeve. The bottom stitching was probably made with the wrong material as it didn't stretch, so when I forced it open, it snapped.

The product is amazing and exactly what I was looking for. I am a nurse and at times work long hours. At the end of an 8 or 16 hour shift my legs and feet are sore. After putting on the calf sleeves I noticed immediately the difference they made by having them on. After 16 hours of being on my feet, I got home and took off the sleeves and my legs were not sore or did they cramp up throughout the shift, just really itchy from the compression lol. Now that I know they are awesome I plan on ordering about 4-5 more. Thanks for a great product, they have made all the difference.

I am a 5’2” petite woman, with quite skinny legs. These sleeves (12”-16”) are way small and way tight. I could not put them on. I ordered a pair from another brand indicating (11”-15”) and that pair fit very nicely. So I am returning this pair and will order from from the other brand. My suggestion is if you want to try this brand, make sure you order the size up, which is XL. The size I ordered is (S/M - M/L).

I am 5"9 and 120 lbs, my legs are not necessarily thick, but the S/M was TIGHT on my ankles and thus difficult to put on! I ended up having to cut small slits at the bottoms to help my circulation and get them to fit, which makes me less interested in wearing them. Overall, the material is very high quality though and have good compression as advertised.

I screwed up and bought the wrong size,but the large even ended up being a little tight for my good leg. Can only wear it a few hours before it pinches off circulation. I need the XL size for the leg with poor circulation,and maybe even for the normal leg.Not worthwhile to waste time and money returning them for a refund,though. Especially since it was my screw-up for ordering the L instead of the X-Large.These tubes do seem to be very well made. I guess time will tell,and I will know after I wash them a few times if they stretch any with use,and how well they hold together.
