Has anyone worn these for sports such as basketball? I need something compressive, but I also have to be running/jumping around. Thanks in advance!

It will slide down. I used this on my tennis game and it keeps sliding down, so annoying.basketball frequently run and jump so i dont think this is good.

I have worn them in basketball games and at the gym for hardcore work outs. they are light comfortable and stay up well.

They are very thin and lightweight. Very little compression. They felt more like a layer of skin and were shorter in length than I expected. I would suggest a neoprene product.

I agree about going down a size.I think you could talk to the CompressionZ company-responsive they will help you with size and usage.

I wear mine for sports and they fit fine. However, I went down a size from what I measured from the knee to ensure they would be tight for compression and wouldn't roll down.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running.Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

Hi James. I never had this problem. Give it another try. You can also go to a local sports store and they should have these. Hope this helps.

I don't play tennis. I assume they would be good for tennis players, knowing that they're helpful for soccer players. They provide good compression of the ankle joint without diminishing flexibility.

I would say they run a bit small so they can compress properly. If you feel like you're between sizes, I would advise you to choose the larger size.

Well for me it's kinda annoying I have thick frames though , they cause them to start to fall off , but I ran 3 miles with them and just had to touch my ears like twice to adjust while running. Hope that helps

I find them to be reasonably snug without being too tight. For me they are comfortable. If you were to be more active than walking normally, they would slide out of position. Unfortunately probably one of those things you'll have to try to see if they work for you. Hope this helped a little.

I went jogging a few times with them and they seem to stay put... I wear glasses too. Hope my experience helps you. Thanks.

My son uses them for football. He doesn't wear underwear with them. I hope this helps you in your decision. Just to let you know he has tried other types of compression shorts and the Under Armour were the best ones for him.

Well sure, soccer players run in them all the time! If you are trying to use them as an inexpensive compression sock, no they wont work. They are snug but they do stretch too much. I wear a compression sleeve under these socks when I play soccer.

I run and bike with them on. Main worry from what I read is sweat but I have not run into a problem yet. I just try not to sweat directly on them.

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.

Hi, I do not workout or run. Therefore, I can not respond to your questions. They hold pretty tight. I used them for traveling, but after a couple of hours I had to take them off. Too uncomfortable and like I said too tight.

Squats? I have worn mine during squats and they stayed up just fine. Not sure how much compression you're looking for. These are comfortable enough to wear all day (or sleep in) without being tight enough to cause my calves to ache by evening. I really like mine; they do exactly what I need of them.

Volleyball or other "normal" pads are only somewhat effective for soccer. I wear a pair of 661 mountain biking knee pads. Very thick so lots of protection but the problem is that they move on the initial impact be it diving for a save or falling off my bike. I'm picking up a pair of these to wear UNDER my pads so that the big pad will take the fall and when it slips or moves this "base layer pad" will hopefully stay securely in place and absorb any additional impacts or sliding. The only question is since these were designed for basketball and a smooth court will the material holdup to the "grass" I play on which is very rough and unforgiving. We'll see...

I only use mine for playing basketball indoors, so I have no idea if they will hold up under the conditions you plan to subject them to. I find them to be great for indoor use.

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.
