Customer Reviews Zensah Compression Leg Sleeves

I started getting shin splints while running and I really didn't want to have to quit so I decided to try these out and they worked out great! While I have been going easier on my runs, these have helped in preventing further injury. They took a few runs for me to get used to but after a couple of weeks of running with these one, my shin pain is gone! I'm still going easy on the running, but I'm hoping to get to a point where I only wear these for my longer runs.

Just started running and could only make it 1/4 mile before I'd get shin pain in my left leg. It was very frustrating. I wore these today for the first time and just ran 2.5 miles without stopping. Clearly they worked for my condition.

I got these because I have trouble with two calve tears and the last one took three weeks before I could run. I wore these on my first run after recovery and have ever since. They feel great and I do not worry about calf tears any more. I tried the Zensah Ultra but they were too tight for my taste so I returned them. I now wear them every day, all day because they are so comfortable. I have worn compression socks in the past but could not wait to get the off at the end of the day and eventually stopped wearing them. I am on my feet a lot at work and will continue using these.

I am 5'3", and my calf circumference measured outside of the small size. I sized down anyways because I am so short, and I am glad that I did. Since they are compression sleeves, they are supposed to fit tightly. I can tell after I have worn them for a long time or several days in a row that the elasticity in them is a little bit loose, so if I had gotten the bigger size they might not be tight enough to serve their purpose. Obviously if you fall within a size range, go with the size that fits you. But if you are between sizes, I would definitely size down! I am ranking the style as four stars because they are not meant for making a fashion statement. They do look sort of goofy when you are out and about, but a common sight at running events. I like that these are just the sleeves and not full socks like other compression products. I am picky about the socks I wear when I race, so this gives me the freedom to choose my socks and also receive the benefits of compression. It is also nice when I do not want to wear socks at all, like when I am recovering around the house.

I ordered these to provide some compression when working out and when running. They are very comfortable and fit true to size. I ordered based on the size chart and they fit perfectly. I love the vibrant purple color and use them very often. I plan to purchase another pair in pink soon. They're a bit pricey but are good quality and comfort.

I ordered this after enduring a partial tear of my right gastroc (in calf). had heard good things about compression sleeves, so I thought that I would try. I am glad that I did. It got me through a long photo shoot that I could not cancel just days after the injury. It is really kind of amazing how much support you get out of such a simple thing like this. It is worth it.

Good. If you have short legs they are a little long because they are not women's sizes. I still like them and they work good.

These are amazing! Hubby and I wear them on longer runs during training for marathons, and on the marathon itself, as well as afterward, and they really help keep your legs from feeling so worn out!

I use these after run recovery for compression of my calfs. They look dorky when worn with running shorts but I will probably try wearing them when I switch over to long pants for cold weather. Zappos' order and delivery service rocks!

My husband bought me some of these as I started training for a 5K but got really bad pain in my shins and calves. Big difference! These help hold my lower leg together, so to speak, and so I don't feel as much muscle tightness and pain while running. But they're still flexible and not too hot.

At 58, everything is starting to hurt. Recently starting having calf and hamstring pulls that happen a mile into a 5k. Bad enough that ended up walking and then taking weeks off. Compression sleeves seem to work. I may feel slight pain but nothing like without them. Zensah brand work fine and well worth the cost. Wasn't sure of the advertising but mine came as a pair not a single sleeve making purchase a good deal.

Wow! These are great! Shin splints in my left leg that no amount of RICE or exercises made go away. Not wanting to give up running, I ordered these. The pain is still there, but with the sleeve it's tolerable. Definitely worth the money. Thanks!

Thumbs up from a distance runner! These compression sleeves are great both for running distances or for recovery. They seem to help with soreness/stiffness the next couple of days after a long weekend run.

Yay! After a full week in posterior tibial tendonitis (a.k.a. shin splint) pain I opted to try the compression leg sleeves from Zensah via Zappos. After one night of R.I.C.E. the inflamation had shrunk more than 50 percent. It feels so good that I was tempted to do a 5K this morning but I didn't. At this rate it should be completely healed by tomorrow or the next day. I plan on wearing these everytime I run and to bed. They are super comfortable to sleep in too. I got a full size smaller and they fit me perfectly. I am 5'4 with a 14 inch calf circumference. Worth the money! Love the neon green color.

Great for long haul travel. Just did 10,000 miles and wore them a lot. A very good buy...not too tight, comfortable and well made.

Zensah compression sleeves are the best. For extra compression....you should size down. If you are prone to calf cramps or shin splints, give these a try. I ordered them in the morning from Zappos and the next day. I received them. Can't beat the service.

Comfortable and colorful! Bought the smaller size and the fit is fine. Many compliments when I wore them!

The were the cheapest Zensah sleeves on the Internet. Arrived super fast and of course If I didn't like them 365 return, but I do love them. Thanks Zappos!

These are the best things ever invented makes legs feel light and energetic and helps end shin split pain and any soreness quickly I want them in all the colors!

Just received. These are replacements for a previous order that had quality control issues. These appear to be the same size in length and circumference. Will see if they offer the support and comfort I am looking for.

These were great for my shin splint. I end up wearing them for days after a long run. I recently picked up a different brand that feels a bit more like sock material but fits a bit snugger. Either way, order two pairs so that you don't have to wear the sweaty ones for recovery, and get a bright color so that they don't get lost.

I'm a runner and was previously diagnosed with Hoffas syndrome on my knee from a shin splint, (and then running to accommodate that) i thought I would try these out for running and post recovery, I hate taking them off, they are so comfortable and they really do help. Will probably order another pair!

These sleeves are really nice to wear and they work very well. I did wear them on a few longer runs and I do think that they do improve my running capabilities. They fit very well and I did buy them also because of the neon yellow color. I wear them when running in the dark so that I have color on my legs to improve visibility. Sure the best part besides the functionality is that they are made in the USA and not in China.
