CEP Men's Progressive+ 2.0 Calf Sleeves

I am a 5'7' male with 15.5" calfs. I order the IV and they fit me perfectly. I recently got back into running and have been getting terrible shin splints. While most of that is really do to my poor running form, the CEP compression sleeve offers great compression and support. I use these exclusively during workouts and use a less compressive sleeve post workout for recovery. I've run the through the wash a couple times and they are holding up nicely. I have tried other sleeves, and these are quality. You get what you pay for.

These fit perfectly and do not seem to stretch over time (keep in mind I always air dry performance gear). I was skeptical at first as a none runner who is running for the health benefits. They do aid in longer runs and recovery compared to the years I ran the same or similar program without any form of assistance or post race recovery.Great color choices, sizing chart works, Men's and Women's coding doesn't matter - sizing procedure is the same, measure calf size and get the color you want. CEP does an excellent job and it is no wonder they are the recommended manufacturer of compression socks at almost every dedicated running store I have strolled into.

Nice compression sleeves. I bought them for lessening the pain on shin splits and they're working perfectly. It annoys me a little that every time I take it off, the logo is imprinted on my leg. It's a bit longer than expected, but that's not a problem.

If you’re like I was, you’re searching for a quality compression sleeve amongst the sea of Chinese garbage here on amazon. These are the real deal, these are made in Germany and are quality products that fit correctly. The cheap compression sleeves are always way too small and way too short. Like they were made for tiny people. These are the right length, the right size, and fit great. The compression feels amazing. These are the ones you want.

So I just used these for my 3rd marathon and they did not let me down.Reason for buying was because I've always been plagued by calf fatigue and even calf pain in my running, and in the weeks leading up to my race I even began to feel pain down into my achilles area. So as a preventative measure I bought these to provide a little extra support to my calves and achilles.They did not disappoint at all. I PR'd my marathon by 6 minutes and also had my first ever marathon with zero walk breaks at all. Now, I'm not saying it was only because of this product. A lot of other factors come into play of course. But I truly believe the CEP calf sleeves played a role in keeping my legs feeling stronger for longer.I have 17" calves and bought size IV. Yes they're a little tough to get on and off, but it's worth it.My pros and cons:Pros:Help lower legs feel stronger for longer!Don't fall down or shift at all if sized rightAren't too hot and wick moisture wellLook goodCons:Little difficult to put on and off

Perfect for use during an obstacle course race (i.e. SPARTAN), trail running, or longer distance running in general. I bought a IV, and am 5' 9'' and 185 - an athletic build. They fit great, have not begun to run, or lose their elasticity and have held up to the punishments of trail runs and OCR's. I highly recommend this product. Also work great as a post-workout recovery sock if your legs are banged up.

I love these things. As a fan of the CEP Run 2.0 socks, I decided to give these a try and I love them. Similar support for the ankle and thigh, but easier on-off and better price point. Plus, you can just use whatever your favorite run socks and pull these over the top. Just one thing ... please don't be one of those clowns at the gym who pulls them up to the top of the calf (gastroc/soleus), where you probably don't need support, and leave the lower calf and ankle exposed, where you probably do need support. And it looks dumb. Overlap your above ankle workout socks, like the engineers intended (look at the sleeve... there is a flare for the medial and lateral malleoli, so don't pull them up so high).Knee sleeve, calf sleeve, run 2.0 socks ... CEP makes really really great products. I highly recommend these. And as a bonus? Wear these or the socks when you fly ... you'll never travel without compression socks/sleeves again. Your legs will love you.

I got these sleeves to help keep up my stamina while riding long distances on the bike and I am satisfied with the way it worked. I felt less tired afterward and my legs didn't feel so rubbery. The only issue I have with the sleeves is that it would have been nice to know that you can't wear it for recovery. I have another pair that I can use for riding and then I can walk around for about another hour or so until I cool down. Maybe I'm wrong on this but I've read several reviews that you can't do it for recovery. So, it's great during athletic activity but not good afterward if you want help with recovery.
