text: I hurt my calf doing double unders during a workout. I think I may have had a tiny little tear. I bought this brace and wear it every day, regardless of the workout. Two weeks later I am able to do double unders with no pain. I am going to continue to wear this for a few more weeks and then always on days that require jumping. It is flexible, comfortable and adjustable. I have big old fat calf muscles...so I am always worried about things fitting. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is I was hoping it would be "firmer" or...more compression.
