Skins Essentials Calf Compression Sleeves - Black

Refer to the Skins sizing chart, which typically uses calf circumference measurements. Measure the widest part of your calf and compare it to the chart to find your recommended size.

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, particularly those related to circulation (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, peripheral artery disease), consult with your healthcare professional before using compression sleeves.

For athletic performance, wear them during your activity. For recovery, wear them for several hours post-exercise or as recommended by a sports therapist. Avoid wearing them while sleeping unless advised by a medical professional.

Yes, they are versatile and suitable for a wide range of sports and activities, including running, cycling, gym workouts, team sports, and hiking, where calf support and circulation enhancement are beneficial.

Graduated compression applies the most pressure at the ankle and gradually decreases pressure up the leg. This encourages blood to flow upwards towards the heart, improving circulation and aiding muscle recovery.

Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the brand's sizing chart. Try adjusting the position slightly. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your needs.

Verify that the size is correct and that the sleeves are pulled up fully. The material may need a few wears to fully conform to your leg shape. Ensure your legs are dry when putting them on.

Follow the care instructions diligently to maintain fabric integrity. Over time, all compression wear can lose some elasticity; consider replacing them after extended periods of frequent use.
