Who benefits from Compression Leg Sleeves?

The calf sleeves are also categorized as sports compression sleeves and they will help improve endurance, increase power output, decrease shin splints and calf cramps, and keep you feeling cool and dry during your runs. If you are a runner looking for a great performance leg sleeve, then these were designed just for you. We want you to run longer, run faster and run healthy!
Triathletes: Many Triathletes use these calf sleeves during training racing. In a sport that puts ultimate pressure on your legs, these leg sleeves were designed to weather the storm of swimming, biking and running, so that triathletes can feel the support throughout their race.
Cyclers: When you are riding your bike for extended periods of time, maintaining the health of your feet and legs is critical. The LEGEND® Compression Leg Sleeves are designed to prevent shin splints and calf cramps that can hamper your rides, as well as improve overall blood flow and circulation to help you ride stronger for longer.

Stabilize fast twitch lower leg muscles during quick change of direction sports to gain that 1/2 second edge over your competition. Team sport athletes will love the way these calf sleeves function and feel!

I can’t say enough good about these leg sleeves! They’re not a pain to get on and off, but they fit well and stay on no problem. I have a bad habit of not warming up properly before running and often get shin splints as a result, but I have never gotten a shin splint while wearing these sleeves, even after skipping warm-ups. They don’t make my legs too sweaty in hot/humid weather either, which I appreciate! They’re definitely a required part of my running kit now!

I love them! These were my first leg/calf sleeves that I’ve ever owned and they did not disappoint me. Not always wanting to wear compression sock I opted to give these a try and they performed just as good as the socks, if not better. They “fit right and not tight” for my entire long run and, similar to the socks, they gradually offered comfort and compression as my run went from mile 3 to mile 10 and they were perfect. Soft texture that breathes and doesn’t overheat your legs at all. Now, I just need to get some more in other colors!

I love my new calf sleeves! The fabric is perfect and very comfortable and they stay up great. Keep your calves at the perfect temperature too, not too hot or cold. They did start to irritate around my ankle at the end of an intense hike but I readjusted them and they were fine after that. I wear a size 8.5 shoe and I ordered the medium and they are perfect! Thank you!

FINALLY! I have finally found the best compression sleeves! I love that these aren’t just TIGHT, or too tight, like other brands. I can leave these on for 5ks to half marathons and for the hours after the race as well. They are also not heavy, or too thick. I can run in these even in hot weather and not feel overheated. I now own multiple pairs (to match different running outfits of course!).

I finally found a pair of compression socks that aren’t too tight or too loose. Living in FL, you would think wearing an extra layer of clothing would make it even hotter, but these are breathable and help keep my legs from cramping. I also wear them around the house for recovery, as well as under my work pants!

I have never really liked the idea of compression, but everything changed when I first tried my LEGEND Compression Leg Sleeves! Seriously, I have never felt better physically and mentally on a run! When I put them on, they gave me this amazing boost of confidence that was definitely needed! I love this product, and am totally going to buy more!!

I have always been a fan of compression wear. I wear my LEGEND Compression calf sleeves on any run longer than 15 miles, and they always get me to the end. They have the perfect amount of elasticity to be worn all day and held up nicely in my last three 50+ mile races. The heat/humidity does not affect my skin or the material. They get two thumbs up from me!

I LOVE my compression sleeves. I never go on a long run without them. They have just the right amount of compression to keep me from getting shin splints without being too tight. Perfect for road and trail running.

I love these compression sleeves! Other compression socks were too tight around my foot, but the sleeve option is a great alternative. I gave some to my father who has varicose veins and he has thanked me profusely several times. Since wearing the sleeves he no longer dwells on his leg pain because it’s not there.

First experience with compression wear and very pleased. Fit just right; not too tight. Easy to put on and take off. Just wore in my first 5K of 2017 and had a 42 second PR! Would love if sleeves/socks were offered in variety of patterns as well as the solid colors already offered.
Sarah Dudek –
Love these sleeves. Not too tight, but stays up comfortably. Really great quality and they look fantastic too. I will be wearing mine for a long time to come and plan on recommending these to all of my clients!
Sun –
These are the first calf sleeves I tried and they are fantastic. I love the way the material feels – silky and smooth. They are also super easy to put on and off but stay put during speedwork. Just the right amount of compression – you can tell they are hugging your calves but they aren’t so tight that they are uncomfortable. They are also a perfect length – some socks are too short for my longer calves but these are just right!
Jessie –
I’ve shied away from compression socks // sleeves in the past because I have “athletic” calves. Other brands would be so tight that once I got them on I was instantly uncomfortable.
I was skeptical I would fit in a medium with 16.5″ calves, but the sizing is spot on & they’re compressive enough they do work – but are comfortable enough I can wear them outside of running as a recovery option.
Also, the aqua color is SUPER BRIGHT, which I love!

Best socks on the market! The fit is perfect and my legs feel so great when I wear them. I was recently struggling with a calf strain and wearing these on runs really helped me to get back faster. Also, there customer service is the best out there. They are super speedy with shipment, send amazing deals all the time, and are just really good people. So thankful for these sock and how they will help me “run for two” as I train while pregnant with our second child!

Over my athletic career I’ve utilized alot of different compression products but never found one I loved. Having just finished my first OCR race in the Legend Compression Calf Sleeves, I couldn’t be happier. Not only providing the needed compression but also protecting my lower legs from cuts, bruises, And gashes, I only wish I could have worn them to cover my entire body. Look forward to many future races being protected by Legend Compression!

I have been using these sleeves for a few weeks now and I am more than pleased with them. They have provided great calf support, shin splint relief, and have proven to help reduce fatigue and soreness in my legs. The fit is also great – not too tight and not too loose. I have a 15-16″ calf and wear the s/m sleeves. I will definitely be using these sleeves throughout my training!
Rachel –
I wore these on a training run. They are really lightweight and breathable, which is awesome. As a coach, I will recommend these to my running clients looking for added support.
Becky Hill –
These are seriously the softest compression sleeves I have ever tried! I love the power band on the ankle, it doesn’t dig into my skin the way some other brands do. I wear these mostly for long runs, or on days when my legs are tired and need a little extra support. Plus, you can’t go wrong with purple!

I love these compression sleeves because I can wear them with my existing socks. They are really comfortable and feel great.

(Disclaimer: I was given a pair of Legend Compression calf sleeves for review purposes, all opinions are my own). I wear compression sleeves while running (and sometimes cycling) mostly to combat Achilles tendinitis and any other calf tightness/injury. What I noticed about the Legend compression sleeves it that the fabric felt very natural and breathable on my skin, like regular socks, and quite unlike most compression wear I’ve tried. That morning was quite cold and though I don’t regret wearing shorts and short sleeves, having a little extra insulation for my lower legs was nice. I could still feel some twinging in the lowest parts of my calf (which don’t get covered by sleeves – which I prefer to socks for the sake of wearing them in a triathlon where my feet get wet from swimming), but I think I weathered my 19 km run better for having worn them.

My husband suggested that I try the compression socks for our upcoming vacation. We planned to do a lot of hiking and climbing. I decided to try the leg sleeves instead because I also wanted to have compression support on the long cross country plane ride (and wear easy to take off flipflops in the airport). I am so happy I tried them! I LOVED the compression sleeves. They gave me the perfect amount of compression on the plane and during hiking. Plus, with the sleeves, I was able to wear thicker wool hiking socks with my hiking boots. I highly recommend the sleeves for this if you haven’t tried it. They also work great with yoga pants.
I wasn’t sure of the size. I’m 5’4″ female at 125 lbs. I guessed I would wear a S/M, but I measured 2″ below my knee as the instructions said and came up with 13″. That put me at an X-Small. To my surprise, they fit perfectly! I recommend you use the sizing chart because it definitely worked for me.
One last comment….as I was hiking up the hills, gazing at the beautiful mountain views…I couldn’t help but feel a little bit like a Legend. What a cool name for a product!
