Compression Calf Guards

I do a combination of steady runs (about 20 miles a week) and bursts (football weekly). Regardless of which one it is, my calves are typically my weak link. In fact, both my calves cramped about 6 miles into a 12 mile Tough Mudder race a few years ago since the trails were rougher than expected. As a result, I stretch my calves almost daily. That is, until I started wearing calf sleeves. I bought several products but I like this one the best. Here are my thoughts: PROS - Works great! My calves don't cramp, even when I skip stretching for a few days. - Fits well but you must follow the sizing chart. My calves measured 15.25" so I reluctantly bought SMALL (listed as 14-15.5). I'm 5'8, 165 ibs and don't wear anything small but I followed their chart. They are a little snug but I don't believe they would work well if they were loose-fitting. - Moisture isn't an issue and dries quickly in wet conditions. CONS - Wish they were longer. When I pull these up to right under my knee, the bottoms are a few inches from my ankle, which doesn't look great in my opinion. I have pair from another brand that are two inches longer and look much better to me. - They are extremely difficult for me to remove since they are so tight on me. After about ten uses, they still seem fine but long-term durability is a concern. OVERALL Bottom line is that they work. Follow the sizing chart and buy with confidence.

These work well and fit as described.

Have been using this so help relieve foot pressure since I stand on concrete most of the day. It works. It's slick-smooth so pants fabric glides over it easily. I don't even feel them during the day. FIT -- I was in between their measurement guide, so I went to XL. It fit ok, and supported well enough, but I should have gone to L size for a little more support. So if you're in between sizes, go down. Have been using over a month. Durable in wash too.

I may be in the minority but i look at the style points when buying the product and this baby looks great when you wear them. But for performance wise, great for keeping your calves and shin muscles stable and from getting fatigue. They fit tight, as they should but not too tight. They are sized S, M, And L so be aware of your size. I wasnt aware about the different sizes but fortunately they sent me a medium and it fit me perfectly cause i have really big calves. Simple in design, the fabric held up well, and looks to be durable and i had no heat or breathabilty issues. So for the price you cant really go wrong. Tips: -remember to check the size your getting - wear them a couple of times before the big race. ( i didnt for my half marathon and it made my shin muscles really fatigue at first but it went away after a few miles, but i know without it, my shins would of started off ok, but would have been worse off by the end of the race.)

I have cramping issues - serious cramping issues. I require strong compression with a snug fit but not so tight as to feel uncomfortable especially because I need to wear my sleeves all nigh while I sleep and frequently during most days. So I also need a good quality sleeze that will take the wear and tear while retaining it's compression qualities. That's hard to find in a compression sleeve. Believe me, I know. I've bought no end of compression sleeves trying to find the right one that fits right and feels comfortable enough to wear for many hours. Thankfully I can now stop looking since I discovered these N2's. These are perfect for me. Yes, they are pricey but no other sleeve offers this level of "therapeutic quality" at a lesser price. Nothing even comes close. N2's are a prime example of "getting what you pay for." They are expensive but also well worth the price. They are so superior to the multiple other compression sleeves I have bought and worn that I now will only buy and wear N2's. I can honestly say they help me. And I mean a lot. I wear them constantly. I have come to rely on them. They have practically eliminate my cramping problems. I give these N2's my highest possible recommendation and endorsement for that reason. I haven't received anything from anyone for this honest evaluation.

I am age 50 and have had an issue with my calves for the past 10 years, tighening up and pulling, not sure if it is achelies or what. Thought this would help, It did help with reduced fatigue but not sure if the are tight enough to hold muscle tight enough not to pull. I have worn for about 3 weeks and didnt have a problem(got up to 6 Miles in) . but then did have another pull as I went to run at about 1.5 miles into run. I do like them for fatigue and recovery though.

Good Product and fast shipping.

First go-to any time I have sore calves. Easy to pull on/off, snug but not tight, able to leave on comfortably for longer periods of time without feeling like I'm losing circulation in my legs. It's like a soft hug for your calves and always seems to help with my recovery.

Die Kompression ist sehr leicht, obwohl ich genau nach der Wadengrosse bestellt habe. Ob es so sein soll, weiss ich nicht, da ich kein Vergleich habe. Und schneller laufe ich auch nicht damit.

weil die Dinger perfekt sitzen.

I read a lot of reviews and looked at a lot of products before deciding on these. I suffer with calf strain on my left leg when I go out jogging, my calf sometimes feels so tight it might explode so any relief was worth trying. I have to say so far so good, it can't eradicate the problem completely but it definitely helps, I noted one tip that seems to be true - don't take them off immediately when you finish running, leave them on a couple of hours and it helps a lot.

Stolzer Preis. Edle Verpackung (Wozu ist mir aber schleierhaft) Passt sehr gut. Da reibt und zwickt nichts. Kompression könnte stärker sein. Der Preis und die meiner Meinung nach zu geringe Kompression kostet einen Stern.

I bought these in desperation after developing shin splints in a critical stage in my training. I read up a lot but remained cautiously optimistic. I’ve just had my 3rd run with these and I can say am running pain free. I was sceptical about the sizing because I have quite big calves, but the measurement guide helped and I love the snug fit. They also stay intact while you run. Bit pricey but worth every penny.
