Footless pull-on calf sleeves in eight sizes for the feet-up end of the day.
Calf sleeves are the part of the kit you wear instead of use: a snug tube from ankle to knee that goes on when the tools go back in the bag. Rymora’s come as a pair in a 54% nylon, 39% polyester, 7% elastane knit, footless and pull-on, and the maker describes the compression as graduated and the fabric as moisture-wicking. Black alone is listed in eight sizes, from X-Small to 4X-Large – a finer spread than sleeves sold in three combined size ranges.
The listing does not give a compression level in mmHg, and it is firm about sizing: measure, do not guess, and use the chart in the product images. Because the sleeves stop at the ankle, they are not a substitute for a full compression sock.
Tip: Pull them on over dry skin once any iced spot has warmed up again, and take them off if your feet tingle or feel cold.
