To use the X Compression Calf Sleeves, simply roll them up your calf until they fit snugly. You can wear them during sports activities like running, cycling, or even during long - standing work. When it comes to maintenance, hand - wash them in cold water with mild detergent and let them air dry. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals. Make sure to check the sleeves regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If the elasticity is gone, it's time to get a new pair.
