Description

Plenty of runners and court players like the feel of a sleeve on the calf: snug, warm, and a reminder of where the muscle is. The Decathlon Unisex Calf Support is a thin, seamless sleeve made to be worn during exercise.

Built for movement

The elastic knit is designed to give even compression all around the calf and follow the shape of the leg. Non-slip silicone keeps it from sliding down mid-run or mid-match. It’s discreet enough to wear under trousers, leggings or sports kit, and fits either leg.

Sports Decathlon lists it for

Running and trail running; football, basketball, tennis and badminton; gymnastics, judo and body-building. In other words, sports with lots of pushing off, jumping and quick changes of direction.

Find your size

Measure the widest point of your calf:

Size 1: 31–35 cm
Size 2: 35–39 cm
Size 3: 39–43 cm

It’s sold individually, so order two for both legs.

Material and warranty

69% polyamide, 16% polyester, 15% elastane. Smoked Black, model 8939009, made in China, with a 2-year Decathlon warranty.

A word of caution

If you have a vein or circulation condition, or a recent leg injury, check with a clinician before wearing compression. A sudden sharp pain in the calf during sport, a feeling of being kicked, or a calf that’s swollen, warm and tender afterward needs prompt medical attention rather than a sleeve. The same goes for calf pain that comes on with walking and eases with rest.

Calf tightness that keeps coming back is worth exploring. The free Pain Check-Up can help, and the knee, leg and shin pain groups are full of runners and players with tips.
