Neo-G Calf Brace for Shin Splints, Lower Leg Pain Relief - Calf Brace for Torn Calf Muscle, Running, Sports, Recovery - Adjustable Calf Support - Class 1 Medical Device

I rarely take the time to actually leave reviews for my purchases, but felt it necessary for this one. I've been dealing with a pretty bad calf tear for going on 6 months now. In the beginning, I wore a boot, did PT for months, etc. Yet there is still pain today. I've been wearing this for about 3 days now pretty constantly with the exception of sleeping and showering and it is AMAZING! Literally the first time I put it on, there was instant relief. I can get through the day wearing this without having to take any pain meds and have minimal pain, it's great! I wish I had this from the beginning. It's so much better than any of the pull-up compression sleeves as it's easier to get on and of course adjustable to any size calf/leg. I actually still have some swelling so once the swelling goes down this will still fit. If you are dealing with any sort of lower leg injury, this product is the way to go!

I have tried a lot of compression sleeves since tearing a calf muscle 6 months ago during a tennis match, and this one is by far the best. I don't need compression any more for walking, but I am back to playing tennis 4-5 times a week now and wanted something very firm to wear for support while playing. The fit is fully adjustable and I can cinch it down very tightly if I want to. The neoprene keeps the muscles warm and relaxed too, which feels good and would seem beneficial for prevention of re-injury. I have washed and air dried it numerous times. It is holding up great. It's looks slightly bulky but isn't too heavy and performs like a charm. I wish I had this during the initial weeks after the injury for general walking and recovery. A great item - if you want a serious calf sleeve this is it.

Great product. I started using this product when I developed severe shin splits due to increasing running mileage too quickly. My physician advised me to stay off of my legs for two weeks and then gradually ease back into my routine. I'm sort of a running freak so I only partially followed his advice. Ha! I tried a highly recommended/reputable running sleeve for a few days but found no relief. I read the reviews on this product and decided to give it a try. I still had some pain the first time I used it, but that pain was more manageable than with the sleeve. After using it for a few runs I found it to be just what I needed. It allowed me continue to run albeit not the usual milage. I couldn't even run without severe pain before I used it and was forced to skip several days. Great product. It delivers on it's advertisement. My only hiccup is using this product under my winter running tights. It's a bit bulky. But, hey . . . I'll trade bulky over pain any day!! Go get you one!

There were good reviews on this item. However, it did not fit my needs. The reasons being is that it had a chemical type smell and it didn’t fit me because it’s made for a man I believe and I am a smaller woman.

Most calf supports are a sleeve that you pull on, but this works better because you can adjust how tight it is, and therefore the amount of support. It is also much easier to get on and off than a sleeve-type support. The material is soft and comfortable, and helps keep the muscles warm to aid in healing. It is so comfortable that I have been wearing it 24/7 -- during the day for support, and at night to keep pain patches in place for my calf strain. I can walk much more comfortably while wearing this support.The Velcro works well; when I had contacted Neo G about another product, the company rep informed me that they had improved their Velcro in 2014. The brace I purchased in April 2015 definitely has the improved Velcro.

Works surprisingly well. The velcro straps help bind the neoprene sleeve tightly, giving some support to the underlying structures of your lower leg. Not a cure for shin splints, but certainly helps you ease back into things after a period of rest. Material is soft and quite warm, but absorbs moisture well. Well worth the money.

I tore my calf muscle playing softball. I tried several compression braces before finding the Neo G calf/shin brace. I can't say enough positive things about this brace. This brace gave me the strong yet comfortable support I needed during rehab and once I resumed exercising and sports. Other braces I purchased were either too bulky or not supportive enough. It appears to be of medical grade material, easy off/on, custom fit because of Velcro tabs and washable. Finally, I was afraid it would be too long since it is "one size fits all". I am a 5'4" female and I had no issues with the length. I can't recommend enough!!

Soft yet durable to help support any injury to your calf. Won’t slide and fits great!
