Bodyprox Calf Support Brace 2 Pack, Adjustable Shin Splint Compression Calf Wrap

When adjusted properly they seem to work better and easier to fit than compression socks. That said, sometimes it’s hard to get them adjusted properly. If too tight they leave depressions in the calf where the straps were. Would work better if tapered and if different sizes were available. Haven’t decided if I will keep them.

Rather than use support stockings, I use calf support braces that I purchase from Amazon. I have not been able to locate these locally, even my local medical stores do not offer these. These are much easier to take-off and put-on than support hose or support stockings. Also, these are better than support stockings because you can easily adjust these to the desired compression. I need some sort of compression on both of my calves because the veins in my calves do not work properly. Compression is very helpful to prevent my calves from swelling with blood that refuses to return to the heart. Have been using these Bodyprox brand support braces for 18 months. This brand has worked out very well. The quality is excellent and they hold up well after many washings. And notice that the price is right because you get two (a pair so that you can wrap both legs) for almost the same price as a single of the other brands. I recommend 100%.P.S.: If you have never healing leg ulcers on your ankles or calves (as I did before I purchased these) which develop because your veins are not working properly. If your doctor recommends support stockings. What to do: try these Bodyprox Calf Support braces instead of support stockings.

Day one and love 'em already! I mainly got these to treat a flare up of shin splints. I have been using an Ace wrap and it did not seem to be working very well. I read some of the other reviews for the bodyprox and "hot" and "Fit" seemed to be recurring complaints.As others mentioned, there is a fairly noticeable curve in the calf area. I have somewhat muscular calves and they fit me perfect. As far as being hot, I see that as a benefit to help relax the calf and anterior Tibialis (muscle along the shin). The compression is even throughout the wrap and gives great stability to the lower leg.At the end of the first day wearing them, I can say I have a significant decrease in pain to my shin. I felt like I had another week of rest to go, using the Ace wrap. With the Bodyprox brace, I am ready to ease back into my routine tomorrow.

I didn't purchase these for additional support when working out, as many have done. They're probably great for that, but I purchased them for pain relief.I recently tore my Achille's Tendon about 40%, and it's quite uncomfortable. There's little I have been able to do to continue walking, and do so without pain. It's tried several solutions, all with limited success. As a matter of fact you can see in the photos that my leg has kinesio tape on it. Not much help.These are great, in my opinion. I was worried about the fit, since I have over-developed calf muscles, a result of a lifetime of cycling. They fit perfectly, as though they were tailored just for me. Fully adjustable, very secure through the use of elasticized straps with hook-and-loop closures.Adjusting them was a breeze, and you can always re-adjust while wearing to achieve the perfect balance of comfort and support. The fact that I can now walk around without pain is priceless.The soft material feels like some sort of coated neoprene, and it's got the right amount of both support and "give".I'm so pleased that I've found this product. It's worked out perfectly for me. I can only imagine that they would be great for those seeking additional support while working out.Great product. Amazing value for two!

I was afraid when I bought these that they wouldn't fit around my calves. I was very happy to find out I was wrong. These are great if you have larger calves (or even smaller ones) you can wrap it nice and snug either way .So if you have larger calves and you're worried they won't fit. Give these a try. I was pleasantly surprised.They help with swelling and those lower leg aches. I would suggest giving them a good wiping down with a wash cloth when you receive them. The smell of the neoprene is pretty strong. Just give them a good cleaning and let them dry and you should be good. They are not washer safe, so you'll have to clean them by hand.Great product though. I would buy again.
