In Testing

I suffer from tight calves often (admittedly a lack of stretching!) and the Compressport guards proved a saving grace. I usually find other calf guards far too tight and restrictive, but these are ideal for providing support alongside freedom of movement. Importantly, they don’t slip during my runs and feel equally as seamless when I wear them for recovery post-workout too.

Verdict

The Compresssport Calf Sleeves target the calves, while also protect against a range of running-related injuries such as; shin splints, Achilles tendon or calf injuries, etc. The high level of support doesn’t feel overwhelming and is sufficiently tight to increase blood flow and reduce fatigue. Worth the investment to prevent common running pains from becoming more serious issues!
