Compression calf sleeves...do they work?

I'm thinking about purchasing some compression calf sleeves. Do they work? I need something to help ward off shin splints.

They help some, but I actually prefer using the Kinesio tape.
I have both.  I think I get better results from the KT.

I have tried it with both on as well.  Not sure it made any real change.  More wasn't necessarily better.

When I run without the KT I start to hurt almost right away.  with the KT I can get in a couple miles before I feel the shin spints starting to get unhappy.

My husband is high school principal and he just had the trainer to show him how to tape my legs. I'll try anything at this point. Thanks for the info!

I have bad shin splints and my compression sleeves save my life!

Do you use the Zensah brand?

I hope you are recovery nicely from your 75 mile race. I can't imagine what that did to your body. You are tough as nails, my friend!

I use 2XU

Thanks Dan!

 I use Zensah.  I really like them.  Won't get too tight. 

The one time i didn't wear them, i got a shin splint!

Awesome! I'm going tomorrow to pick mine up. Thanks again!!!

 I wear compression socks on all workouts and wouldn't run without them anymore.  They just create a comfort level for me that I miss when I don't wear them.
