Review on 🦵 Vive Calf Brace: Adjustable Shin Splint Support & Pain Relief - Compression Wrap for Lower Leg - Increases Circulation, Reduces Swelling - Calf Sleeve for Men & Women (Gray) by Peter Parks

I'll start with the good. They definitely reduce inflammation/swelling. The price I paid for it was too high in my opinion. I had to order 2 separately because it's weird they don't come in pairs. Not only should they be sold in pairs, the price for two should be between five and seven dollars, and here's why. The smell, I order a lot here and elsewhere, although elsewhere delivery takes much longer and prices are half what they are here. a common factor is the smell and it's awful. If you can stand the smell, they will suit you. The length is only 10 inches. I am located in USA, New York, my height is 5ft 8in. It would be much better if they made it 12-121/2 inches long. At 10 inches, they start just below the knee and end well above. ankles, so important areas are unaffected. The width is measured at 17 inches but before I started using them my calves measured 17 inches and I had plenty of room when needed. If you're 20 inches tall you can use them, maybe even 22 inches (I'm talking the thickest part of the lower leg). Now after a few hours of use my calf has shrunk to 15 1/2 inches. My goal is 13-14 inches. I had surgery a few months ago and have had inflammation/swelling from my thighs to my feet ever since. I've only used it once for a few hours and it's been about 24 hours and the caviar is still 15 1/2 inches. "WARNING" "DO NOT" fall I slept with him. I did this for several hours and the leg turned dark purple. I took it off a raised leg and when I woke up the leg was great. It was comfortable and I actually forgot I was wearing it. It says they can be worn on either leg, but obviously it's a single leg brace because it fits my left leg correctly, but on my right leg the straps are on the opposite side so you have to wear them backwards wear it so it doesn't look like it's on your butt. I didn't wear the one on my right leg that long, the swelling has gone down. I felt pain in my leg on the outside of my calf as the brace was pulled so tight I had to remove it. Maybe because it's not for every foot, it has to be properly designed for every foot. I know how important a product like this is, so I tried to do what I think is important to the consumer. It's comfortable, lightweight and flattering. It's short, the smell is terrible and the price is too high. I am attaching a photo to help. In the third photo I did not measure from the Velcro to show the actual width of the braces.
