My ankle just says no mas. I am at the age where I can just be walking along and just like that my ankles will just say, 'No mas.' I wear these on those days. They're small enough to carry with me when I run errands. It's the first support comfortable enough to wear all day, and it fits inside my shoe. I don't know if the copper does anything, but the support does.
Your Shoes Fit at Eight. By Five, They Do Not.
You were told to put your feet up. You have a shift to finish.
"I have errands to run and house work to do, it's impossible to elevate all day." That is one wearer's answer to the advice everyone gets. Others put it their own way. The ankle they sprained years ago aches again by the afternoon, or just gives out on a flat sidewalk. The heel hurts most on the first ten steps out of bed. By the end of a shift on concrete they can barely stand. And the fix on offer is to sit down, which you cannot do in the middle of a shift.

Copper Yarn, Medium Compression, and a Top That Stays Put
Support you feel from the compression. Freshness from the copper. Two pairs, so one is never in the wash when you need it.
The sleeve is a knit of 60% copper nylon, 25% latex silk and 15% spandex. The compression is medium: enough to hug the ankle, heel and arch so you know it is there, not so much that your foot falls asleep. One wearer said it was "just like slipping on an additional muscle over my ankle." The copper yarn is for the other problem with compression wear, the smell by day three. The copper is in the yarn itself, knitted through, so the sleeve stays fresh through a long shift. The top band is knit flat so it does not roll down inside a shoe. And because a sleeve only helps on the days it is dry, every pack is two pairs.

How the Day Ends With Them On
Three things wearers report, in their own words.
The first is at the door in the morning. The sleeve pulls on with a bit of tugging, then settles into a snug hug around the arch and heel. You feel it for ten minutes, then you stop. The second is in the shoe. The top band sits flat below the calf, and the open toe means your foot is not hot at noon. The third is the one people write reviews about. "My feet feel great after getting home," wrote one wearer who is on their feet twelve hours a shift. Another: "by the time I went to bed, I wasn't even limping!!!" Shoes that still fit at five, an ankle that held on the walk, and feet that are dry when the sleeves come off.
-
Morning: a snug hug at the arch and heel after a little tugging
-
Noon: the band sits flat, the open toe keeps your foot cool
-
Evening: shoes that still fit, feet that are dry
-
"My feet feel great after getting home."

How to Fit Them in Three Steps
Pick by weight, pull on, smooth flat.
Pick Your Size by Body Weight
Read your scale, find your size in the chart, and size up if you are on the line or your ankles swell.
Pull It On Over the Heel
Bunch the sleeve, slip your toes through the open end, and work it over the heel. It takes a little tugging the first few times.
Smooth It Flat, No Rolling
Pull the top band flat below the calf and smooth the arch. Then put your sock and shoe on over it.

Everything About the Norvyn Sleeves
Why copper fabric, how to size, how to wash, and what is in the pack.
Why Copper Fabric
Two things are going on in this sleeve, and we keep them separate. The support you feel is the compression. A medium compression knit hugs the ankle, heel and arch. It helps keep fluid moving, so swelling stays down. It steadies an ankle that rolls easily. Doctors and podiatrists have recommended compression for years, so that part needs no explaining. The copper is in the nylon yarn, and its job is freshness. Copper fabric is used for odor control. That is why wearers say things like "they never smelled" after a week of wear. Copper compression brands, ours included, describe the pair as helping circulation and reducing swelling and inflammation. Wearers describe it more simply: shoes that fit at the end of the day. What we can promise is the knit itself. 60% copper nylon, 25% latex silk, 15% spandex, open toe, medium compression, two pairs.
Sizing
Sizes go by body weight, so you do not need a tape measure. S: 88 to 110 lb (40 to 50 kg). M: 110 to 154 lb (50 to 70 kg). L: 154 to 182 lb (70 to 82.5 kg). XL: 182 to 220 lb (82.5 to 100 kg). If you are on the line between two sizes, size up. If your ankles swell a lot by evening, size up. If you are over 220 lb, XL is the largest we make for now and it may feel tight. A correct fit is snug, and it eases after the first few wears. A wrong fit makes your toes tingle or go pale, and that means it is too small. Wrong size? Send it back within 60 days and we swap it or refund it.
Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or rinse them in the sink. Air dry. Do not put them in the dryer and do not iron them. Heat is what wears out compression fabric. With two pairs in the pack, wash one while you wear the other. The knit contains latex silk. If your skin gets itchy or red, take them off and let it settle. If it comes back, you may be sensitive to latex, and the 60-day return covers that.
What's In The Pack
Two pairs of Norvyn copper compression ankle sleeves, four sleeves in total, in the size you chose. The knit is black with a copper checkered band, copper dots and heel bars. The word Copper is knitted into the outer ankle. They come in a copper Norvyn pouch marked Copper Ankle Sleeves, 2 Pack. The pouch is handy for keeping the spare pair in a bag.

Questions People Ask Before They Buy
Washing, wear time, tightness, sizing, sleeping and returns, answered plainly.
Yes. Cold water, gentle cycle, or a rinse in the sink. Air dry only. The dryer and the iron are what wear out compression fabric. With two pairs in the pack, wash one while you wear the other.
Most wearers put them on in the morning and take them off at night, including full 12-hour shifts. If it feels snug, that is right. If your toes tingle or go pale, take them off, because that means the size is too small. Many wearers keep them on at night as well; see the sleeping question below.
They are for everyday support and recovery. For a fresh sprain, or anything a doctor would put in a rigid brace or a boot, use that first. Come back to the sleeve when you are walking again.
They are snug the first few times and take some tugging, like any compression sock. After a few wears they go on more easily. Bunch the sleeve, put your toes through, and work it over the heel. Snug is right, too tight is not. If you cannot get them on at all, or your toes tingle, go up a size. If you are buying for a parent whose hands are weak, they will need help the first few times. If nobody is there to help, a pull-on compression sleeve is not the right choice for them.
Size up. The same goes if your ankles swell a lot by evening, or if you have wide feet. A sleeve that is slightly loose still supports you. One that is too small cuts in and does not get worn. Sizes go by body weight: S 88 to 110 lb (40 to 50 kg), M 110 to 154 lb (50 to 70 kg), L 154 to 182 lb (70 to 82.5 kg), XL 182 to 220 lb (82.5 to 100 kg).
Many people with heel pain do, and they say the morning steps are easier for it. Sleep in them only if they feel snug and not tight, and take them off if your toes tingle. They are a sleeve, not a night splint, so they do not hold your foot in a stretch.
Wear them for 60 days. If they are not for you, or the size is wrong, email us, send them back, and we refund or swap them. No forms, no restocking fee. After 60 days, the 2-year warranty covers any defect in the knit or the seams. US orders over $79 ship free.
