Calf Compression Sleeves - How Should They Fit?

Triathlon Forum
1

I just got some calf compression sleeves and was trying them for the first time.
While they are snug, they aren’t as tight as I would have imagined they would feel.

Should they feel very tight or just provide a light squeeze?

My calf size is exactly at the break point between Medium and Large, so I guess I could size down if that would help more.

I wear CEP socks after some workouts…they are tight enough to be a pain to put on, but not so tight to be uncomfortable throughout the day.

You might want to wear a size smaller as long as they aren’t crazy tight.

I got the zensah sleeves and like what physiojoe said, they are tight enough to be a pain to put on and take off but once they are on they feel snug without being constricting. I almost forget I have them on actually.

Ditto. I"m wearing mine all day for the last three days because I came down with a gastroc strain. Work great for that purpose, but I’d never race in them because by the time I got them on, I’d be dead.

To the OP I am like you at the break point, i went with the M & mine are exactly like others discribed. Hard to put on but comfy once there and settled.
