It is very easy to adjust and tighten up, yet comfortable to wear. I have tried other cheaper support from discount store and they did no good. This calf support actually gave good relief

The product fits snug and stays in place. However I started getting cramps in the leg I wore it on. If you plan on doing any running while wearing it I recommend starting off without it on and then stop after you are warmed up to apply the wrap. It does work if you want the area to stay warm...(hot) Another thing it is good to wear while walking the constant pressure provided relief when normally my shin seems like it is on fire.

This sleeve support is very effective, I torn my calf muscle four months ago and just started back playing sports. I have wore it everytime I play tennis, run or bike. It keeps my calf snug and gives me a feeling of security. Great product!

Excellent price - product does what it claims to do, and it did help with nagging shin splint pain during my walking exercises. Remember to do stretching exercises prior to activity, ice-packs for pain after activity (use Mueller calf support to hold ice-pack in place) Would recommend, and am thinking about buying another for opposite leg.

The shin brace is great for keeping your leg warm. My shin literally start sweating withing 10-15 minutes of usage. The heat will circulate your blood to allow for quicker recovery. One issue though, is that this brace is suited for multiple areas of the body--shins, hamstrings, arms, etc. Thus it does not taper down to fit your shins, and there will be some overlap near your ankle where your leg is thinner. Not a problem though, as the brace is still very comfortable, but I would recommend the ace shin splint for compression during training, and this mueller shin splint for keeping your shins warm

I just bought 2 of them. The first time trying it on, they worked great. The best part is you can adjust the tightness. loving it...

I bought these because I developed pretty bad shin splints during the Insanity program. I would have to stop mid-workout even though I wasn't tired because my shins felt like they were on fire. A friend suggested I get shin compression wraps so I opted for these.

I'm glad I got these because the adjustable velcro straps make it easy to make them tighter or looser. I saw that alot of people complained about it not tapering towards the ankle area but the whole wrap is adjustable so I never experienced this problem. I just wrap it tighter towards the ankle area.

It did help with the pain during my workout, I felt minimal to no pain. I do suggest playing with where you position it as well as tightness. At first I could still feel pain because I had them up too high and too loose. I adjusted them to sit lower and a tad bit tighter and that did the trick. I would DEFINITELY recommend these if you have shin splints and still want to get the best out of your workout.

Another pro is that you can use it post workout for icing your shins! just grab an ice pack or ziplock of ice and strap it on using these compression wraps. It's versatile and I definitely can appreciate that about this product.

I ordered this after tearing my calf muscle. I like it for the most part - the best part about it is that it's adjustable. One thing I don't like about it is that it is shorter than I thought it would be. My injury was a little lower on my calf muscle (less than halfway up my calf, measuring from the floor to my knee), and I would have preferred this split to cover down towards my ankle farther for even better support. Overall, it gets my recommendation for calf-muscle tears.

The shin splint (had to buy 2, there is only 1 in a box) was supportive. The velcro made it easy to adjust as I was running. But as I ran, it made my lower leg muscles really tired. I'm sure it was because of constricting them. This happened when I wrapped them with ace bandage and ran. But at least now, I don't have to worry about them coming off or unraveled like ace bandages. Just strap them on and go!

I pulled my calf muscle several weeks ago, and there was quite a bit of muscle atrophy. So on the recommendation of a physical therapist friend, I purchased a calf splint/brace until it strengthens.

I chose this particular brace because of the good reviews here on Amazon.

I followed instructions based on my calf measurement and ordered the regular size as instructed.

Let me say that the support is great. However, I have two issues with this product:
1. The fabric is not very breathable so any sweat or moisture builds up underneath. This can become quite uncomfortable when running or otherwise exercising for any extended period of time.
2. Despite getting the size that was recommended, this brace is WAY too big for my calf.

I can't say I hate it, but I definitely don't love it.

I don't have a recommendation as to whether or not to buy, but I would definitely size smaller than they say.
