FAQs

Are calf sleeves as good as compression socks?

They do different jobs. Calf sleeves give 15–20 mmHg compression from the ankle to below the knee but leave the foot open, so you can wear your favorite running or athletic socks. Compression socks also cover the foot, which helps with swelling around the feet and ankles. Runners often like sleeves; for travel and long days, socks are usually the better pick.

What size calf sleeves should I get?

Our calf sleeves come in two sizes based on height: S/M fits roughly 5'0"–5'7", and M/L fits roughly 5'5"–6'0". If you fall in the overlap, choose S/M for a snugger fit or M/L for a little more room.

Who should wear compression calf sleeves?

Calf sleeves are popular with runners, walkers, cyclists and anyone who wants targeted calf support during training or game days. Because they're open at the ankle, they're easy to pair with your usual socks and to keep on for recovery afterward.

Do compression socks help with shin splints?

Graduated compression supports the muscles of the lower leg and minimizes muscle vibration during impact, which helps reduce fatigue and can make your legs feel better during and after runs. Compression isn't a treatment for injuries, so if shin pain lingers or gets worse, check in with a healthcare professional.

How do I wash compression socks?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, use only non-chlorine bleach if needed, and air dry or tumble dry on low. Socks with spandex can look a little smaller after washing, but that shouldn't change the fit. Gentle care helps them keep their support longer.
