Product Information
Full details
The 2XU X Compression Calf Sleeves are designed for active adults, runners, and athletes looking to improve lower-leg blood flow and speed up recovery times after intense training sessions. By providing graduated compression and moisture-wicking properties, these sleeves offer a supportive fit that minimizes muscle oscillation, though users should ensure they select the precise size based on their calf measurements to avoid an overly restrictive or loose fit.

FAQs
Can I wear these while sleeping?
While they are intended for active performance and recovery, they should generally not be worn while sleeping unless specifically advised by a medical professional.
How do I determine my size?
Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point and cross-reference this with the manufacturer's size chart.
Are these sleeves machine washable?
While hand washing is recommended to preserve elasticity, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag using cold water.
Do these help with shin splints?
Many users find the compression helps stabilize the lower leg and reduce symptoms associated with shin splints, but they are not a medical treatment.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the material is durable, they are optimized for running and training; prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water may shorten the lifespan of the compression fibers.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve feels too tight or cuts off circulation
Ensure the sleeve is not twisted and is correctly positioned on the calf. If pain persists, verify that you have chosen the correct size for your calf circumference.
Sleeves are sliding down during use
Check that the sleeves are being worn on clean, dry skin without lotions or oils, which can prevent the fabric from gripping effectively.
Skin irritation after extended use
Ensure the skin is free of sweat residue after training and follow the care instructions to keep the fabric free of salt and bacteria buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Requires precise sizing for maximum effectiveness

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, slide the sleeve up the leg so the widest part fits comfortably around the calf muscle, ensuring the compression is applied evenly without bunching. These are compatible with all standard athletic gear and can be worn under or over base layers.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the elasticity of the fibers.
- Air dry in the shade; do not tumble dry or iron the sleeves.
- Store flat or rolled to maintain the structural integrity of the compression weave.
