How knee and ankle compression sleeves fit into workouts, sports and long days on your feet, and how to choose and size them.

Knees and ankles do a lot of work: stairs, runs, court sports, and long shifts standing up. Compression sleeves are a simple, lightweight way to add support without a bulky brace. Here's how to use them.

Copper knee sleeves

A copper knee compression sleeve wraps the knee in even compression. It has no straps or hinges, so you keep your full range of motion and can wear it under pants. Buy a single sleeve, a pair in black or pink, or a pink 2 pack.

Wondering whether you need a sleeve or a brace? Read copper knee sleeve vs. knee brace.

Copper ankle compression sleeves

Copper ankle sleeves cover the ankle, heel and arch in one slim, open-toe sleeve that fits under socks and in your usual shoes. They're sold as a pair.

When people wear them

• Running, walking and hiking
• Basketball, soccer, tennis and pickleball
• Squats, lunges and leg day
• Nursing, retail, warehouse and other on-your-feet jobs
• Rest and recovery days

Want the whole leg covered?

A full leg compression sleeve covers thigh, knee and calf in one piece. Compare all the options in thigh, calf or full leg sleeves.

Getting the right fit

Measure around the knee for a knee sleeve, and check the charts on each product page or in our size guide. Compression should feel snug and even. Take it off if you feel numbness or tingling, and try a larger size.

A quick note

Compression sleeves are support and comfort products, not medical treatments. If you're recovering from an injury or surgery, follow your doctor's or physical therapist's advice on what to wear.

Shop all copper knee and ankle sleeves. Every order is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
