moderate support, comfort...eh.... Feb 24, 2011 By S. Hill
I had originally planned on using these as support for chronic injuries associated with distance jogging, minor shinsplints and calf strains. the idea being to use either during the run or immediately after to improve veinous return or provide support to the structure of the lower leg.

I will admit that I am rough with my sportswear. That being said, these are pretty durable fabric, more so than I would have expected from the feel. They are definately smooth, somewhere between trouser socks and nylons. but they do not offer the same consistent compression over time. out of the box they have good support from arch through the tibia, but over time in a single wear, they seem to peter out. The fabric seems to soften and stretch, not unlike a pair of nylons. by the 3rd wear, they would have no more support than a small set of sox, and no more specific.

I still use them here and there when I am going to be standing on my feet, but I had purchased them for support during or at least immediately after a run. though even for this they are limited, in that the upper band will roll and feel tight and pinch just under the knee. My theory on this is because they have lost a lot of elasticity in short time and now are longer than they were and will roll and scrunch at areas of flexion. to be fair, however, I have been washing them by hand with only delicate soap and laying flat to dry, as suggested.

Good product for a single use item, though this price tag would suggest that they would be mulitple use. I am going to try tossing mine in the dryer and see if it puts them back into shape.

Good Dec 21, 2009 By Robert Clark "alefone"
I like these but there are other better ones out there. By better I mean more compression. I like the Zoots but they do cost more. I use them for recovery not during the run. Also these are great for long car rides--especially after a race.

great for people with lower leg problems during sports Dec 04, 2010 By KBC
I've just started my marathon training and my achilles tendon gets very tight. After looking around, runner's world had recommended compression socks for recovery. I placed an order for a pair and as suggested, wore them for recovery. My lower leg feels great, the pain has subsided, but hey these are running socks right? so why just wear them for recovery when it can do more than just that? So I wore them today for my 8 mile run. They felt a little weird at first, but once you get going, you don't even notice them. What I did notice was I didn't have any ankle or foot pain. I've also had shin splints in the past, but I didn't have any today either (hope I don't jinx myself), I've also been doing more stretching around the lower leg area so that might have been a contributing factor. It's an overall good compression sock. I've never tried any of the other ones out there since these are my first pair. They work for me so far and I'll stay with them, even tho they do look a little weird.

Decent product Jan 17, 2011 By Layla79
I bought these because I have begun walking/jogging again but have been getting shin splints and some problems with fatigue in my lower legs. Doctor recommended trying compression socks to help aleviate the problems and I have to say it does help a lot. Wore these during a 5 mile walk/jog and had no problems with my shins or feet at all. Wore them for a few hours after the exercise and it helped even more. Good product and I would recommend these for anyone who has problems with their lower legs during exercise. Also, the fit was good. I wear a size 9 womens and the medium fit perfectly as the website recommends (go to the cw-x.com website for sizing guides).
