CEP Allsports Compression Sleeve SKU: #7685674

Anonymous

I had a calf strain that did not go away. It kept lingering and I did almost everything in RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) except the "C". So after two weeks of no progress I finally got this thing and put it on right away. At first I felt a little pain in my knee and around my ankle. I just figured that the sleeve was actually having some impact (whether negative or positive). I would wear it for 5 hours on and 5 hours off and also when I went walking (because I couldn't run). My calf strain went away after about three days. I continued to wear it when I restarted my runs (I do 5k/day twice). It helps with my running form as well and keeps my calf in tight (especially for me because I have big calves and they are not as stable while running). I really think the sleeve helped accelerate the healing process. I don't wear it much anymore because I don't need it but will definitely keep it in good storage for future use. For those of you who think this product is just a cut out from a spandex suit or something - it's not. It is definitely designed to contour specifically around your calf muscle and down to your ankle. It really has a strange fit to it and does not wear like just a piece of spandex. For washing I just put it in the wash with my clothes and then hang dry it but I would wear it about 1 week straight (with runs) and it wouldn't smell or anything.

I love my compression sleeves. Great for runners who have problems with their legs after long runs or short ones for that matter.

I have rheumatoid arthritis so I wear really thick socks. I bought these a few days before the Honolulu marathon. I originally thought of wearing the socks but felt that the socks themselves weren't thick enough. So with these sleeves and my own socks, I got the best combination! The compression isn't too tight and I felt the difference in the recovery and during running.

Excellent alternative to compression socks. Immediately alleviated calf vibration on my long runs. No more pain!

THESE ARE GREAT!! I use them to play tennis, and I am on the court sometimes for 4 hours. These keep my legs fresh, and I still have the energy to explode to the net for a volley.

Wore this for my first Ultra, and I was pretty glad I did! Very comfy, forgot they were there.

Bought these because it's my first attempt at trying these and the price was right. The fit is good, and they seem to help (I have varicose veins) support when I stand for long periods.

I love these! They keep my legs warm, and full of energy!

This is my second spare pair of CEP compression sleeves. Yes, I love them so much that I had to have another pair for when the first are in the laundry! I'm an ultra trail runner, and wouldn't dream about running without them. They're the best for keeping the blood circulating, compressing the muscles to avoid injury, and preventing cramping. Gotta have 'em!

These are awesome! I was skeptical at first since compression gear seems to be a fashion statement for a lot of people I know, but these totally live up to the hype. I have bad veins, so even walking a long distance or standing for more than an hour killed my lower legs. With these I can run with hardly any pain, walk for miles without pain at all, and there is no swelling in my legs like before. I was worried they might be uncomfortable, but they keep my legs cool even in the desert heat. I even wear them when I'm not exercising if I know I'm going to be on my feet for a long time. I had no idea my legs could feel so good.
