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

Long story short:These calf/shin sleeves are amazing!! They pretty much relieve the aches and pains I have in my shin whenever I jog/run. Although they haven't necessarily cured me of the shin splints, I won't run without these! With them on, I have been able to work out longer and with more intensity than I did without them when I felt the pain. I used to have really bad shin splints - definitely the kind you know you shouldn't run through. I felt like I tried almost everything, except for taping my shin. But who wants to do that every time? It's so tedious! Then I found these and they were the perfect solution. The fit is great-you'll barely feel like you're wearing anything. I have bigger calves and went with the large and they aren't too loose or too restricting. They feel perfectly sized with just enough stretch. The price is great too. Great value for the money!!The long story:I discovered them online while searching for new running shoes. A year prior I had shin splints so bad that even just walking would hurt. I tried therapy on my shins and even got orthotic insoles (that were SUPER expensive at about $350 a pair) to try to alleviate the pain. I'm flat footed so it probably adds to the stress...so I got fitted for new shoes; it all helped but not to the point where I could jog more than a quarter of a mile before the intense pain would come back. I stopped running/jogging for half a year and the pain finally went away, but as soon as I got back to exercising again, they started hurting a lot. It's definitely been better than a year before, but on a treadmill, if I was going more than a 4.5 speed (more like a speed walk or super slow jogging speed) it was already feeling too fast. The weekend I got these sleeves, I tried them on and went on the treadmill for some interval training. I was amazed to reach 6.0, then 7.0, and then 8.0 in the same day on the treadmill. It wasn't for very long (give or take a minute) but literally just a few days before that I couldn't even go past 4.5 without cringing in pain!! It was like magic! I've been a believer in compression sleeves ever since then.I HIGHLY recommend these to anyone who has any calf or shin issues. But for people without it too it will even help with post workout recovery or even if your legs are constantly tired from a long day of standing/walking.

I like that these compression socks are thin and don't have thick stitching that leaves horrible marks on my legs like some others I own. They are comfortable to wear, while still being very supportive, and I don't feel like my legs are sweltering hot when wearing them. I am buying a second pair.

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!

I actually have these in TWO different sizes -- for different reasons. I am short and petite, with skinny but somewhat muscular calves, and the X/S fits perfectly if I need strong compression I use those if I have painful shin splits, a stress fracture, or other injury. I use the size L/XL when I need more of just a massaging effect, like after a long run or race, and I don't want too much compression. I'd say I wear the L/XL size the most often. I have so many brands of compression sleeves, and some are too tight on me (Zensah Pro), and some don't have enough compression for me (proCompression). Even though I prefer the cep brand for marathons, out of all of them, Zensah provides me with the best levels of comfort, compression and results for recovery. The only thing I did not like about these is at the ankle where they are tighter, there is a small piece of fabric that rolls up and can become uncomfortable. So I just pull them over a higher sock, problem solved (although this forces me to wear higher socks when I have these on). One thing to be aware of, if you are looking for the color blue that is in the photo -- it is not the exact same shade shown. I ordered a pair in blue and was hoping for more of a royal/true blue to match my Boston Marathon apparel , but they are more of a sky/turquoise blue (different than the photos).

Too much pickleball and not enough stretching left me with terrible calf pain. These sleeves are so comforting. The give just the right amount of pressure and keep my calves warm when playing.

Se aguardan muy rápido 🤷‍♂️

cumplen con lo que prometen

Excelente producto. Competí con ellas y me mantuvo fresco y con buena compresión. Yo sufro de varices y me ajustaron perfectas solo recomiendo revisen la talla con base a la tabla de medidas

Me gusta mucho el ajuste adecuado para ser cómodas tanto que los podría traer todo el día pero sin perder el sentido por las cuales se diseñaron de tener la pantorrilla con buen soporte y circulación de hecho es el segundo par que adquiero

Great! They have lasted over a year now, using them for soccer four times a week and washing often.
