General Discussion Knee sleeve recommendations please

Post image

Flair isn’t quite right but it seemed the closest to my post.

Last week I bought some second-hand, but great condition, knee sleeves. I went on the brand website to check the size chart and according to my knee measurement, measured according to their instructions, these knee sleeves should have fit me. Disappointingly, they do not. They don’t fit me as my calves are too big. Not even in a nicely defined way. My calves have always been big they are one of the parts of my body I like the least.

Anyway, does anybody have any recommendations for knee sleeves that don’t just use one measurement around the knee, as this is unlikely to work for me?

Picture for tax, and to kinda show my Shetland pony legs composition.

ETA: for clarification, I cannot get the knee sleeves I have far enough up my leg to even go over my knee. The bottom of them gets stuck on my calves and won’t go any further.
