Popped Posts: 20421 Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana	Does anyone have any good reccomendations on compression sleeves? Brands, sizing tips, do they even work? why i ask you say? well we went on a motorcycle vacation and during our day rides aprox 8 hrs in 90degree weather after two days my feet were so swollen i couldnt hardly get my boots on. Was both feet. Has never happened before. I also have signed up to work our state fair horse & pony show which is 12hr+ days on my feet in boots and wondered if the sleeves would help with fatigue?

Could barely get them on and off with someone helping her. The doctor sized her I believe. In her words to me - don't ever waste your money on them. But....just her opinion and I'm sure there are others that have had good success with them.

Porta Potty Pants Posts: 2600	I've used the ones for running … I like them … you have to get the right size though. I like to use them to run long distances. I've tried the Tommie Copper on my ankle (tore the ligaments about 4 years ago and still have pain now and then) and I didn't really notice anything. You might want to try the ones recommended for airline travel as a start. I think they sell them at the drugstore.
