Compression Calf Support/Shin Splint Brace |
| Detailed Description |

If you are looking for support for the lower leg, calf, and/or shin look no further. Made from soft lightweight breathable elastic you will find the compression calf / shin support to be very comfortable and cool. Our 4-way stretch elastic provides uniform compression to the calf and shin while the anatomical shape helps with comfort and blood flow. The calf and shin support is ideal for runners and other athletes looking for support without the bulk and weight of neoprene.

Customer comments By B. J. cahill (lenexa, ks USA) This review is for a: Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support I play soccer a few times a week and always have aching shins afterward. I played in these last night and no pain at all, nearly shocked to be honest, I assumed they would just numb the pain somewhat but shins seem fine today. let's hope they hold up for long term use but I will be using these for soccer and running going forward now. By T. Jordan (Warner Robins, GA) This review is for a: Large Black Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support I run about 15-20 miles/wk. My only issue is a strain or pull in my right calf from near the bottom of the muscle to the outside of my knee. I notice the same thing in my left leg from time to time, but not like my right. Also, as I try to increase my mileage to run a half marathon, I occasionally have minor shin splints. It's not enough of an issue for me to take a break; it's just a nagging issue. I decided on this product because it did not seem as 'heavy' as similar neoprene supports, which meant it would be a little cooler. Also, they were less expensive! I received my braces the day before my first 12k race. What a difference they made! Usually, my calves are sore for a couple of days after running distances over 7 miles. But, even after running 12k at faster-than-normal pace, there was very little soreness! Currently, I use these braces on every run; and, my calves seem to be getting better. By: SSgt S. C. Holmes This review is for a: Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support I wanted to take a second and thank you for a quality product. I purchased the Compression Calf Support/Shin Splint Brace in black. It works wonderfully. I was able to run 2 miles on back-to-back days with pretty much no pain. Before the AlphaBrace I would take 800 mg of Motrin and use a topical pain reliever cream like Ben-Gay. Now I just slip my compression brace on and run. Also, thanks for the note thanking me for my Military Service. It really means a lot to me. Thanks again! Still Running, SSgt S. C. Holmes Florida Air National Guard By lilfish This review is for: X-Large Black Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support I have been highly impressed with the calf/shin compression socks. I used to get shin splints that would keep me from running for 2 to 3 days at a time. Since I've been using the compression calf supports I have been running multiple days in a row with no shin splints!! It's wonderful. I wear then while I'm running and then after for at least a few more hours, just to make sure my muscles are kept in place. I would highly recommend these, great value and a great product! note: follow the sizing instructions given with product. I measured my calf bought the recommended size and it worked perfect. They aren't too tight and don't slip when I'm running. By Bill, Findlay, OH This review is from: X-Large Black Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support Product worked as advertised. I usually run a mile before I start getting bad shin splints, to the point where I have to stop and stretch or sometimes just walk back due to the pain, even when I wear the correct running shoes and inserts. I put these on and ran 3 miles right away and had no pain what so ever. I really couldn't believe it actually worked. May have to order another pair, and for the price, why not. By edge This review is from: Large Black Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support At first I was a little skeptical about buying the compression braces because i thought that they wouldn't work. After using them I am sooo glad I made the right decision. I play softball so I get calf and shin splints all the time. The braces helped to relieve the pain and also helped my legs heal faster. They even reduced the number of muscle spasms in my calves. I would definitely buy from this seller again. I received my product within two days of ordering. By Larry from TX (Houston, TX) This review is from: Large Beige Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support I have problems with sore calf muscles when I do a lot of running. I decided to give this product a try to see if it would help to relieve some soreness and let me resume training. In my opinion, it works well - provides support and fits. Some braces tend to slide around and not feel snug, but this brand is well constructed and stays in place. It exceeded my expectations. By skips37 This review is for: X-Large Black Calf and Shin Brace With Compression Support I have been a 5K / 10K runner since 1983. Recently I began intense elliptical workouts to enhance my training. The elliptical workouts led to severe cramps in my calves that made it difficult to walk and impossible to run. I have been wearing these calf supports for 3 weeks while training. The pain left immediately. Some days I wear these all day long while at work. I may never have shin splints again either if I wear these during hilly blacktop races. |
