Good quality calf compression sleeves are thought to help support you during your running and to speed up recovery post-session.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A staple in some athletes\u2019 kit bags, they\u2019re particularly useful to those who have a high run volume in training or for endurance runners for whom time on feet is considerable.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s not forget those who just need a little extra lower leg support or typically suffer from sore muscles and shin pain \u2013 compression sleeves could be a very useful piece of kit for you!<\/p>\n

What do compression sleeves do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Calf compression sleeves should feel tight and supportive when on. They\u2019re essentially designed to squeeze the calf muscles, which in turn squeezes the blood vessels and speeds up blood flow. Boosting the circulation around sore muscles results in a faster oxygen supply to repair the muscles and to get rid of waste products like lactic acid.<\/p>\n

Another reason why people wear calf sleeves is to provide an extra layer of support to the calves and shins for those that are prone to shin splints or extra tight calves when running. The calf sleeves listed below can be worn during or after exercise to reap reported recovery and performance benefits.<\/p>\n
