Good support, good ventilation, helps prevent and relieve pain after injury

They look and feel fantastic and appear to be well made! As a registered nurse, I am familiar with the benefits of leg compression sleeves to improve circulation and prevent blood clots, particularly for those at increased risk. And while I bought compression stockings for my daughter, who was prone to shin splints when she walked on the treadmill, I wore them for the first time during a workout. I've been an avid runner for most of my life, but recently returned to "running" after a compound fracture and sprained left ankle. My ankle has since recovered but is still prone to joint inflammation and occasional nerve pain. I also have plantar fasciitis on the same foot. They help prevent and alleviate these problems. I opted for open toe sleeves to support my legs and feet. They also breathe well, which is vital for me as I'm prone to overheating. My running game is up a notch thanks to these kids supporting me. The only criticism is the size. The size chart suggested I buy a large size based on my calf measurement, but since I usually wear a small or medium size, I took a chance and bought a medium size. The middle sleeves fit me perfectly and I could probably wear the smaller ones as well (even the middle sleeves could be tighter as I suppose they can lose their support with prolonged wear). They should fit snugly to maintain circulation, but not to the extent that they impair or cut off circulation. For those who are not used to wearing compression garments, it may take some time to get used to. Big sleeves would be great for me. They fit me well, but everyone has different shapes and sizes. Different people also have different tolerance levels for compression. Find the brand and fit that's right for you.

Pros
  • Open toe leg warmers are useful in various activities, especially when you are pregnant as maternity stockings. They are ideal for everyday use, especially for activities that require standing or sitting for long periods of time.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
