As Jai and I progress on our diet and fitness journey, one of the activities Jai has been anxious to resume is running. He used to go jogging quite a lot – in fact, we both used to go down to the track at the local high school and time each other running, aiming to shave down our time and improve our performance each time. But there’s been something that always gets in his way: Shin splints.
Jai’s had an ongoing problem with shin splints for a long time. They happen over and over again, and it takes such a long time to heal that it’s stopped him from being able to run. Now that he’s lost over 22 pounds, he wanted to try jogging again, but was aware that this could happen again and slow his progress. I’ve heard a lot about compression wear being helpful to runners who need to avoid shin splints, so when we received a complimentary pair of Calf Compression Sleeves from Tommie Copper to review, we were anxious to see if it would help.
The sleeves are Slate Grey in color and size according to the circumference of your calf right below your knee cap. Although they appear small out of the package, they fit perfectly once Jai put them on.
Jai has been running every day for 8 days consecutively since receiving these, and he has not gotten one shin splint! He says they are comfortable to wear and that he doesn’t notice them while he’s running. The first 7 days, he ran for 1/4 mile, and today he ran 1/2 a mile. He’s being careful to scale it up slowly in order to decrease his likelihood of injury – shin splints and otherwise – as he and I both have the tendency to overdo it! He is excited to be able to run once again and plans to wear these every time he jogs. Running is a great exercise that he missed and I know it will be a wonderful supplement to our other efforts and goals!

Wow, those are pretty cool!
Wow, these look great! My husband suffers from shin splints. I may have to suprise him with a pair of these!
What a great tool to protect injury while running!
I’m so glad they’re working for him! I would never have known what to do for shin splints so I’ll have to tell my aunt who gets them all the time!
Oh those are so interesting! I never knew that compression socks could help with shin splints. What a great idea! Glad they are helping.
I’m a big fan of the compression shorts! I didn’t know the socks could help with shin splints. I need to try those out!
I get shin splints occasionally, too. They HURT! Glad this is helping him!
Love this, I have shin splint issues, too. Sounds like something to try!
Never heard of these, but sound like a great idea!
I bet my hubby could use these.
Don’t you just love it when you find a product like this that works and helps you do the things you use to love. They sound great.
This sounds like a great product. I have never heard of shin splints.
My Husband, Marty, Saw Your Commercial On A Late Night Infomercial With Montel Williams, So We Got The Money To Purchased Your Products, & Bought A Set Of Calves & Ankle Supports, We Were Hoping For Socks, Cause Thats Where He Hurts The Worst, Is His Feet, Tingling & Pain, & Crawling Sensation, He Is Diagnosed With High Blood Pressure, High Chlolesterol, Diebetes, & Restless Leg Syndrome. He Works Standing On His Feet For 12 Hours A Day, On Concrete, & He Is Hurting & Exhausted When He Gets Home., So As Soon As We Received The Pair Of Ankle Supports, He Put Them On, & Within 8 Hours, Felt, He Could Feel Some Improvement, Less Pain..We Then, Purchased A Pair Of Calve Supports, Hoping To Complete, Relief Of Area Of Pain & Discomfort.. It Helped, Not Only In Movement, Pain But His Moods, Because Of This Discomfort, THANK You, For Your Invention, Product A Regained Belief, That He Can Still Continue To Live A Enjoyable Life..
I work 2 jobs with an average of 15 hrs on my feet, I have been suffering with an ankle -foot injury. I recently bought the T.C. Anklet, and could walk comfortably on my foot within 8 hrs of putting it on. I CANNOT emphasize how much better I feel. Thank You Tommy Copper!
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite
reason appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that
they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as
defined out the whole thing without having side-effects
, people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get
more. Thanks
