do you also notice differences if you use ½ lengths or compression shorts?

    I generally do not run with them however when I was training for and running longer distances I would tend to wear them on those longer runs (15+ miles) mental or not , not sure but I felt like they help with fatigue.

    Also in colder weather I’ve worn them to just keep my calves warmer / seemingly help with early tightness.

    For me personally they’re not like night and day difference but they do have use case that seem to help.

      I’ve run ultras in the past and i honestly found wearing then down around my ankles and only pulling them up for brief recovery walks or after any race felt way better to me.

      To clarify, i was talking about calf sleeves. I’ve never noticed a diff between shorts vs leggings.

        I have some that are full socks that I’ve used during Yamacraw (50k) partially for the compression, partially to help keep crap out of my socks :)

        The first half of that has a number of water crossings, and usually I’ll swap into a second set of dry socks/shoes at my drop bag.

        I have also worn the calf sleeves the next day after a big run for recovery also.
