If you wanted to romanticize being a healthcare worker, you could say you take long strolls in the field, but we all know what that really means—constant walk-jogs up and down hallways for hours and hours.

How ironic is it that helping others can take such a massive toll on your body? Specifically, your legs and feet?

As a medical professional, you may tout the importance and benefits of compression socks to your patients. As a person who is on their feet all day, you know that investing in a good pair is crucial. While there are plenty of options to choose from on the market, we particularly love the Blitzu Compression Calf Sleeves , which also happen to be one of the most raved-about products on “NurseTok” (TikTok videos made by nurses about nurse life).

Blitzu compression sleeves are a popular pick by those in the medical industry because their sleeve vs. sock style allows for more freedom and can be worn under jogger-style scrubs without showing. These sleeves come in eight colors (white, black, gray, nude, pink, purple, blue, and tangerine), and three sizes (small/medium, large/x-large, and xx-large).

Made of latex-free material, these compression sleeves utilize kinesiology taping technology via embedded kinesiology straps to offer support and stability, reduce pain in the calf area, and can even help you recover from injuries more quickly. Beyond that, compression sleeves are known to help improve blood circulation, aid with restless leg syndrome, reduce leg cramps and fatigue, offer shin splint relief, reduce swelling, and get rid of varicose veins.

Reviews are mixed, with some claiming that these fit on the small side (even for compression socks) and to order up. Others say that the material didn't hold up well for them. Still, at only $9.99, we definitely recommend tapping “add to cart” on these #1 bestselling nurse-backed sleeves to find out if you're a perfect match.
