- CopperJoint Calf Compression Sleeve for Men & Women, Footless Leg Support Sleeve, Wide Calf Friendly Fit, Breathable Copper-Infused Fabric for Running, Work and Everyday Wear, Single Sleeve, Large

I'm an artist, 50, runner, very fit. I started to develop serious calf pain out of nowhere quite recently. It was a "pulling" type pain that ran the length of my calf and intensified five minutes into my runs. I've read that this type of pain is common among runners from time to time, and that luckily the pain is chronic and usually temporary. I dropped eight pounds of Covid fat, and began hydrating intensely before my runs. These small measures helped..... But the pain persisted. So I stopped running for few days and began a slow but steady regimen of using a foam roller over the calf, coupled with an anti-inflammatory, and some low intensity stretching. This helped a bit. On the recommendation of a friend, I bought two pairs of compression sleeves (the CopperJoint and the Rymora) and tested both for a couple of weeks. The results were immediate. The pain is MUTED, not gone, but certainly bearable. It's as though the sleeve "contains" the pain, muffles it, so that I can still run and maintain leg strength, slow and sure. The sleeves are not uncomfortable or even noticeable. It's an odd sensation rolling these up your legs, almost like male stockings. I have no idea what difference, if any, the "Copper" contributes. I've completed over ten runs since using the sleeves, but I lowered my runs to 33:33 intervals, (3 is a lucky number....), and before my runs I drink tons of lemon water, use the roller, and take a hot shower.... For running junkies, it's God awful when you can't run and you start to feel your body betray you. I've found that as you get older you have to hurl several small measures at the pain in order to heal, and this CopperJoint sleeve most certainly helped. Stay hydrated, lower your running time, use a foam roller, hydrate and roll these sleeves up those sexy legs and i'm sure your runs will improve....hope this helps.....

The compression sleeves fit very nicely and are working as well as socks I have used in the past.

Great quality. Really compresses the calves with full support with no pain. Only problem is putting them on is super tight and the material feels thick, but if you’re having a problem taking them off just slip the top end to the bottom and use your toes to pull them out.

I have a couple of minor injuries to my right calf that caused damage to the veins in my leg some years ago. Consequently, by being over 60 and on my feet all day, they have developed into varicose veins. I also suffer crippling calf cramp (Charley's horse). Having read several reviews here and elsewhere, I decided I'd see if these might help. Their price point was attractive, and aesthetically they didn't make it obvious why I was sporting them. After a few days of wearing them while covering at least five miles on concrete floors every day, I can report that they have not stretched, nor do they have an odour problem like some materials can have. What's remarkable (to me at least), is how the varicose veins have significantly reduced over this time - becoming almost invisible by the time I remove the sleeve just before retiring. There's also no itching anymore, nor discomfort, nor sensitivity (beyond an awareness of the old injury), and they fit well enough that after the first couple of days, I'm really not aware of them being on. Best of all, I've not had cramp since I first wore them. I've no idea whether they are meant to give me quite the medical relief they have, or whether that's due in part at least to my 'self-care' regime, but in any event, I couldn't be happier with the results.

I have hip and low back issues that have been progressing over time. Due to difficulty walking, my lower legs have been overcompensating which causes all sorts of other problems. I decided to try these with the copper to see if any difference would result. I can say that it has improved my mobility tremendously so I can focus on my hips. When I put them on the first day, I thought they were too tight. My mind wanted to reject them, but I left them on for several hours. It was amazing how much relief they provided. The nerve and tendon strain, sharp pains and increased problems toward my ankles just stopped. During the first several hours, I actually felt a cooling sensation. These are just my first hand experiences. I took them off before bed, and my legs and body hurt much less throughout the night. I awoke with much less pain, and upon putting them on again, they were extremely comfortable. The cooling affect is amazing, and the increased mobility gives me renewed hope that I can recover from the extreme overall pain. Be warned that they do fit snuggly and alarm bells will go off. It's is just a natural human reaction to fear that your circulation will be affected, but for me it just works. I have recommended this product to my family.

Great idea, the XL was actually too tight around my upper leg.

Item was as described! Im satisfied.

These work very well. Good compression without squeezing too tightly. Good value !

The size does not fit. Seller refund without hassle

Funcionan muy bien, la compresión es excelente. Acostumbro a correr, pero, últimamente me lesionaba de la pantorrilla, sin ningún motivo aparente. Probé las medias de compresión y todo cambió. No he tenido lesiones en los últimos 3 meses, y corro muy cómodo con ellas. De momento las sentía muy apretadas a pesar de ser mi talla, al cabo de 4 o 5 usos, me quedan a la medida. Las recomiendo.
