The ultimate pair of compression calf guards/sleeves! Ideal for all sportsmen and women- at any level, people who stand up for long periods at work, fly regularly, suffer from calf strains/muscle pulls/Achilles tendon injuries or to combat deep vein thrombosis! QUALITY COMPRESSION - GUARANTEED!: This PAIR of high performance, unisex compression calf guards/sleeves use highly advanced technical yarns that provide comfort and recovery DURING and AFTER exercise. Fully tested in a state-of-the-art lab passing strict guidelines to meet the 20-30mmHg compression rating. If you do not like your new guards please return them in the original packaging for a full refund! USES: Ideal for all sports activities e.g. running, cycling, soccer, rugby, fitness, hiking, gym, yoga, golf, tennis, squash, triathlon etc. BENEFITS: The graduated compression (from the ankle to above the calf) aids the flow of oxygen to the muscles which improves performance and reduces fatigue. Each sleeve behaves like a second layer of muscle, gently squeezing stretched vein walls. This built-in feature helps fight the force of gravity and circulates blood back up to the heart more efficiently. COMFORT: The advanced cuff weave/design keeps the guards in place - no need to stop to adjust or pull back up! The cuff is reassuringly tight without restricting blood flow. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - Available in 4 unisex sizes - please see image for size chart. - Washing instructions: Can be machine washed at 30 degrees or hand washed - always dry flat. Please note: You may find it difficult to put the sleeves on however, compression garments are supposed to be tight - they would not perform correctly if they were too slack.

Great Product
I experienced a pain whilst running down the back of my calf muscle, it prevented my from running for a couple of weeks, when I got back to training I had purchased the compression sleeve, as it was recommended to prevent cramps etc. The Compression sleeves are amazing & I would never run without them. I haven't experienced the pain since wearing them.

Highly recommended
Exactly what I needed. I have recently started exercising quite intensely (running and cross-fit) which has has been putting a lot of strain on my calves and Achilles tendons - to the extent that I have been experience painful cramps or sharp shooting pains spiking up the backs of my legs during various exercises such as skipping, jumping and running. Since wearing these sleeves I have experienced no such pain or cramping. In the past when I have experienced such pain I have had to rest the legs for a good few weeks to full recovery but with these sleeves I have been able to continue exercising without any resting period. I highly recommend these.

Excellent Calf Muscle Protection and Support
After having trouble with pulled calf muscles in my last 3 Walking Football sessions, I was recommended to try some compression wear around the affected area. These NV Compression sleeves worked a treat and my next hour long game passed injury free with no belated after effects the next day. Very impressed and will continue to use them in future games and whilst running/jogging as well. Do remember to measure your calves and ankles as instructed to get the right fit - don't just assume you're a certain size.

Grade 2 calf strain to 30 miles a week :)
Bought these after recently returning to running and doing too much, too soon and being heavier than fighting weight. Ended up with a grade 2 calf strain. Read lots of reviews and settled on these. I have ordered a second pair for wearing under suit the day after a long or quick run and notice a massive difference in recovery times and performance while running. Now running 30 miles a week between quick Parkruns and long club runs. I will never run without compression again!

Calf Compression
Had a stage 2 calf tear whilst training for a triathlon so needed some support to get me through. Never used these before but was only a few weeks before race so was in desperate need of some help to take the pressure off and allow me to keep training.First impression - they are not easy to get on and even harder to get off but once on you can feel the support. Not a miracle cure but they did allow me to train on the bike and some light running to maintain some fitness prior to race. Even tried swimming in them and they seemed ok. Ultimately decided not to race in them but they did help me to get to the race by supporting the calf for a couple of weeks prior.

They really work!!!!
For the price of these socks I wasn't expecting too much but I was pleasantly surprised they actually worked, they arrived quickly and the quality is impressive no more stiff calf's for me after my runs, I would recommend these

check your size
Sizes on the small side. I got a medium pair originally based on their measurements but should have gone with my instincts and got a large, gave the first pair to a relative and got a large which I am happy with so only took off one star

A really useful addition to my running
After about 6 months of calf injuries, a friend recommended I try something like this to help prevent more injury. I also went to see a physio and interestingly, having changed the way I warm up and warm down, the use of these was the only thing that she agreed with and didn't change.I've been injury free for about 4 months now and wear these whenever I do any activity and that includes cycling and walking as well.
