These compression sleeves will provide about as much protection as a pair of thick knee socks. I have not noticed any improvements in my agility due to the compression sleeves, though they do reduce to some degree the fatigue of standing or sitting for a long time.

I am 5'8 145 and am regular in all dimensions. I ordered a Large Half Leg HL15xp and it worked with all the casts that I was put in. some casts were fatter, some not, some covered my toes and some did not. The DRYPRO waterproof leg protector that I ordered worked well and I still have it for future casts that I may encounter. I broke my talus which apparently is a bad bone to break and it has a reputation as one which doesn't like to heal. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck. Marcus

NO, its makes your leg stiff for protection but can be difficult to run in, I used it to play football, ended up taking them off because of the tightness and immobility it caused. Your better off purchasing a 2nd degree or 1st degree wrap if you want run in them. This is for 3rd degree ankle sprains. Don't get me wrong though there strong and great for it your not doing any physical activity and provide great protection for until you get back to 100%. Best of Luck.

I'd go for "large", just enough to protect the whole shin. Enough room for ankle braces / wraps (recommend for extra protection ligaments / tendances, bones, tenderness) on footing of the elastic bands. Be safe, have fun. Remember, kicking with the top of the foot. Talk instructor, or research types of kicks on YouTube.

My leg is pretty average size and there was quite a bit of extra strap at both the foot and calf. Cant say for sure but seems it would adjust to fit almost everyone. As far as how far up the leg, it goes, the important part is that it keeps the foot at a 90 degree angle so again it should work for almost anyone.

I'm male and a bit over 6 feet tall with 13 3/4 in calves. The medium calf compression sleeves are ideal in length but a tad loose fitting. Since you're a foot shorter than I, I suspect that medium will be too long.

I can't say if it will solve your problem (although I've heard compression sleeves work for Shin Splints), but I doubt it will be too much compression (assuming you get the sizing right). I thought the compression was on the light side.

Hi Yoon, I purchased the small/medium. I am 5'7" and about 170lbs as well. I have large calves for my size and the leg weights are a little tight going on. The forearm weights are fine. I believe if I had gone for the larger size they would have been too loose for punching drills. I hope this helps you make your decision. -John C.

My calf measures 14"; I got the Large size. They fit VERY snuggly. The Medium would have been too small.As I noted in my review, I'm 5' 4"; the sleeves came down to the arch of my foot, which was OK. Actually felt good.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would imagine you want a smaller adult size. I doubt youth shin guards are built for the abuse an adult will put on them.

I like mediums, I'm 5'2" as well, depending on what you're using then for. The wrist guards are great, the knee pads are a bit thin, my friend got a large and the wrist guards are far too big.

The guard forms to your arm and also offers more protection. Players really like this one with the strap because it's adjustable, but if I were buying another one with the strap, I'd get it one size too big, so it won't be too tight unless you use the adjustable strap.

They aren't like soccer shin guards. These are compression sleeves which are more like strong socks. They aren't going to offer any sort of protection. You'll need to look for something more specialty for whatever you are doing or possibly a product like shin guards for soccer as an alternative. These are strictly well made compression socks to help with blood flow and not for protection. The assist in blood flow helps with recovery which has helped my calf cramps. Some sleeves are lycra and don't really compress. These are a strong and breathable woven material that gives you graduated compression from the ankle up over the calf.

I am size 9. From heel to toe the AFO measures approx 11"(AFO is a size large.) It is contured so it will flatten out longer. It reaches comfortably to cover the ball of my foot. I you have a huge foot it might not work as well. The shin strap wil rub a sore spot. I cut a piece of head sweat band to size and slipped it over strap. Problem solved. I suggest at least a 3/4 top lace shoe. Set up like this it worked quite well for mee.

Shin guards are not sized for age, they are sized for the height of the individual. These shin guards do have velcro across the guard for a tighter grab when worn

Gives good support to your calf, not so much for you knee. It does keep everything warm. I use them when I officiate basketball. It helps my legs recover a lot faster. Since I have worn them this season I have not had any muscle pulls. Fingers crossed!

No, unflexible at the knee. Would get shin guards which are meant for soccer
