Bodyprox Calf Support Brace 2 Pack, Adjustable Shin Splint Compression Calf Wrap

After having 2 knee replacements, I developed "pitting edema" around only one lower leg/ankle, which is also a fancy medical dx for ''complication from having surgery.'' I tried wearing support stockings but the ankle swelling got so bad so fast that I ended up ripping them off soon after wrestling to get them ON. They acted more like a tourniquet than a support. Ankle supports were not right either. Two days ago I received these supports and find the velcro adjustments might be the answer to my swelling problem. The fit due to the calf seam isn't perfect but I adjust it & make it do. I don't happen to have a major calf problem due to the replacement itself. I'm after lower leg/ankle/shin support mostly. Wear these on top of my jeans and pulled down to the top of my sneakers, making sure the pants material is under at all times to alleviate skin or friction issues. The ankle/lower leg swelling is now much better with these supports. I can also re-adjust at any time without fighting with the thing! Having less swelling has also alleviated the discomfort from the swelling, too. My leg feels soooo much better. Great product and price! Hope it works as well for you.

I was afraid when I bought these that they wouldn't fit around my calves. I was very happy to find out I was wrong. These are great if you have larger calves (or even smaller ones) you can wrap it nice and snug either way .So if you have larger calves and you're worried they won't fit. Give these a try. I was pleasantly surprised.They help with swelling and those lower leg aches. I would suggest giving them a good wiping down with a wash cloth when you receive them. The smell of the neoprene is pretty strong. Just give them a good cleaning and let them dry and you should be good. They are not washer safe, so you'll have to clean them by hand.Great product though. I would buy again.

As other purchasers have mentioned, the Calf supports have a very large bulge sewn in to the contour of the support. This would allow for containing a huge lymphedema swelling. In my case, I needed the extra size to use the support to contain lymphedema on my thigh, but reduced the contour to a more cylindrical shape by stapling (sewing would've been even better if I had a machine) the bulging excess fabric to a more linear contour. In that way, it works just fine and is the best support that I have found so far, especially since the three straps, with their really sticky Velcro, allow for successive tightening, one after the other, to really strongly compress and reduce lymphedema.

I bought this for my brother after he got injured playing sports, and he says it’s great! It gives him the support he needs and helps with recovery. Definitely a good buy if you need something adjustable and comfortable.

When adjusted properly they seem to work better and easier to fit than compression socks. That said, sometimes it’s hard to get them adjusted properly. If too tight they leave depressions in the calf where the straps were. Would work better if tapered and if different sizes were available. Haven’t decided if I will keep them.

I didn't purchase these for additional support when working out, as many have done. They're probably great for that, but I purchased them for pain relief.I recently tore my Achille's Tendon about 40%, and it's quite uncomfortable. There's little I have been able to do to continue walking, and do so without pain. It's tried several solutions, all with limited success. As a matter of fact you can see in the photos that my leg has kinesio tape on it. Not much help.These are great, in my opinion. I was worried about the fit, since I have over-developed calf muscles, a result of a lifetime of cycling. They fit perfectly, as though they were tailored just for me. Fully adjustable, very secure through the use of elasticized straps with hook-and-loop closures.Adjusting them was a breeze, and you can always re-adjust while wearing to achieve the perfect balance of comfort and support. The fact that I can now walk around without pain is priceless.The soft material feels like some sort of coated neoprene, and it's got the right amount of both support and "give".I'm so pleased that I've found this product. It's worked out perfectly for me. I can only imagine that they would be great for those seeking additional support while working out.Great product. Amazing value for two!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really like this product.. great support and well built for the price

Worked well on my shin splints. Took some pressure off. Easy to use. The compression is prefect. I’ve had it for some months now and the straps are wearing so an adjustment needs to be made on that but overall I like it. It’s just the Velcro is wearing which sucks.
