Amazing product - Amazing customer service!
I’ve been dealing with shin splints from running for months. I had to take time off; kept my legs iced and elevated, and I used a lot of Ibuprofen. After months of resting, I would try to run, but each time, the pain would return. I couldn’t even use the elliptical machine. I was frustrated beyond description. I seldom visit a doctor - even the thought that I might have to call, created anxiety. Thankfully, I checked out Run Forever. After reading the reviews, I figured it would be cheaper (and less complicated than a doctor visit,) so I ordered the calf sleeves. They arrived last week. I’ve been running ever since! As I sit here and type, I have NO PAIN! I don’t know what will happen when I increase my time and miles but for now, I’m a happier camper.
Size: I am a 63 year old female who is 5’6” tall and a bit overweight (but muscular for my age). My calf measured 14 inches so I ordered a size large. Fit and comfort is subjective, however, I didn’t think the large provided enough compression.
Customer service: If I could, I would invest financially into this company based on their care and concern for their customers! I sent email to inquire about the fit. The representative informed me that for shin splints, I probably would be better off with a medium. She sent me a new pair that arrived days later! I am blown away and very grateful. I’ve told a few people about this company. Other businesses should pay attention.. treat people right and you’ll have them for life.
