product works as described, it makes my leg feel great with almost no ache what-so-ever. I would recomend it to anybody that hurt their calf muscles.

Not sure where my head was, but the item as described is only a single sleeve. I was thinking in pairs, so now after the fact it's cheaper for me to get a second one than return and buy a pair of a related product... Been seeing more and more of these on the marathon circuit and I am all for preventing injury and aiding recovery, so I jumped on the bandwagon. Just be careful when you leap that you do so with both feet.

Very helpful for decreasing pain in a healing stress fracture to the shin. Stayed very cool and didnt get sweaty even during exercise.

I ordered two of these for my calves because I was getting persistent (and worsening) shin splints while training for a marathon, to the point that I doubted whether I'd be able to complete the training without a stress fracture. The calf/shin sleeve has been amazing- it's the equivalent of taping your shins so that the force is distributed differently along your tibia, and I must say it's infinitely easier and much more comfortable. They're not the most attractive thing to wear but they have been absolutely worthwhile in my experience. After wearing them for a week I had virtually no shin pain and have not had any problems with shin splints since that time.

I would absolutely recommend these to anyone who suffers from shin splints and has not found that rest/ice/PT has helped.

Zensah Ultra Calf and Shin Sleeve are piece of "miracle" cloth! Not only do they aid in fast recovery after long or strenuous runs, but if you run with them on, they reduce shin and calf pain and injury during the run b/c of the stabalization they provide. I had virtually ZERO pain after my long run on icy and snowy pavement. I'm a believer!

Yes Its true, this product is wonderful, I suffer from varicose veins on my left leg. These Zenah Calf Skins cover my calf and give me support when I exercise. I give them a five star rating. Sal M

True to size. I ordered a large the first time based on my calf size and it extended down below my ankle and up to my knee. This time I got the small-medium based on my overall height and is a bit short and covers my calf and ends above the ankle, but there is not an alternative size. My calf feels much better when I wear this and can go back to training. Overall good product.

I also ordered this product, thinking they came in pairs. I had bought the same product locally, and they came as a pair, so naturally....

Repeating previous reviewer's warning:

BEWARE - SINGLE SLEEVE ONLY!!!!

I don't know how this works, but, like a charm, it allowed me to keep running with shin splints and kept pain at a minimum!

I just got a pair of these yesterday and wore them for a few hours. I got them after my second strained calf pull while training for a half marathon. I haven't worn them running yet, but here's what I have to say about them so far. They're snug, but not too tight, and easy to put on. As easy or easier than putting on my running tights. They're much like putting socks on. They also cover very well - I wear no show socks and these things leave less than an inch gap on the low side, and go all the way to the upper calf, right where the knee breaks. I don't know what measurements my legs are, but they're pretty average for my size (5'10" about 180 lbs) and build (not muscular per se, but a typical "athletic" build for someone 35 years old). The ones I got were black, size large.
