I purchased these (on Active GearUp) for $25, which is half of the conventional price. Having seen a lot of buzz about this brand, I decided to get a neon green pair. If you’re new here, green is my favorite color (even if I have to settle for neon shades of it). I used to have a green cell phone and laptop, but these days you can still see me with a green iPod case, Nalgene bottle, and commuter tote bag.
As you can see, I wore them to LA Marathon (to go with the St. Patty’s Day “green” theme). It was not my first time wearing them, as I had done a few training runs in them.
I like the tightness, which is very similar to CEP’s (the Zensah argyle one I have is not nearly as tight, though I still use it). What I don’t really like is that it seems way too long for my calf. I have to fold the top seam down, and then pull it over my knee when I get tired of that. I think this may had adversely affected my calf during LA Marathon, but I will never know for sure.
Overall, I do like these, though I think I will be using them for recovery from now on due the the length issue.
I have that same problem with almost all of the compression socks that I own. Have you found any that you don't have to fold over?
ReplyDeleteI see these all over the blogland but hesitate to spend the money to try them because it seems like everyone posting about them are doing sponsored posts. I only wear CEP because they are the tightest on my calves and long lasting. This was helpful!
