Compression Sleeve Comparison
I have tried many different compression sleeves and i would say that Thirty48 is a Medium compression sleeve. One issue with the Thirty48 is that the bands at the toe end of the sleeve are to thin and tend to roll up if i try to wear it under my sock. With other sleeves the band is thicker / more compressive than the sleeve itself which prevents rolling up while putting your sock over the compression sleeve.
I am a 50 year old runner / past marathoner that has battled plantar fasciitis for the past 12 years.
My foot is approximately 9.25" in circumference in the arch and i bought the Large with the Thirty48.
Other Compression Sleeves purchased on Amazon
MOJO -With the MOJO brand i wear an XL and it provides the most compression of any compression sleeve / sock that i have found. However i cant wear the MOJO sleeve all day or it tends to cause pain after a period of time. However it does eliminate foot pain while i run and that is the goal.
SB SOX- I have found that The SB SOX sleeve (which i ordered the large) has a bit less support than the Thirty48 but is comparable. It too has a very thin band on the toe end of the sleeve so i wear them over my sock to make them easier to get on and to add compression due to the thickness of my sock.
Natra Cure - The Natra Cure (Large) has the least compression of the compression sleeves that i have tried and not enough support while i run.
I prefer the sleeve over socks because the socks tend to cramp my toes.
Remember everyone is different so it is a trial and error process.
And for all of them, it would be great if they wouldn't plaster their name across the front!
