Product Information
Full details
Designed for athletes, runners, and individuals prone to leg fatigue, the aZengear Calf Compression Sleeves offer targeted, graduated compression to improve blood circulation and accelerate muscle recovery. By providing stable lower leg support, these sleeves help mitigate the discomfort of shin splints and muscle cramps during intense physical activity. While they are highly effective for boosting performance, users must ensure they select the correct size to achieve the intended medical-grade support without the sleeve feeling too restrictive.

FAQs
Can I wear these for long periods?
Yes, they are designed for extended wear during sports or recovery, but should be removed if you experience any numbness or tingling.
Are these machine washable?
Hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the compression fabric, though they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in a mesh bag.
How do I know which size to pick?
Measure the widest part of your calf while in a standing position and compare the measurement to the aZengear sizing guide.
Do these help with varicose veins?
While they provide compression to improve circulation, please consult a physician if you are seeking them for specific medical vein conditions.
Can I wear them under my socks?
Yes, most users prefer to wear the sleeves first and place their athletic socks over the bottom edge of the sleeve.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve feels too tight or cuts off circulation
You may be wearing a size that is too small; double-check your calf circumference against the provided size chart.
Sleeve slips down during exercise
Ensure your skin is free of oils or lotions, and check that the sleeve is pulled up to the appropriate position just below the knee.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum effectiveness, measure the thickest part of your calf before purchasing to verify you have the correct size. When putting the sleeves on, fold the top down slightly and slide them up the leg until the bottom reaches your ankle and the top sits just below the knee. For care, hand wash the sleeves in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry them completely. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the compression fabric over time. If they become difficult to slide on, ensure your skin is completely dry and free of lotions or oils.
