RunLove Compression Socks Purple

These are a beautiful plum purple color. They hug my calves perfectly and are so soothing. No pain whatsoever after my runs! I also wear them to work, as I'm on my feel all day. They're a blessing!

These are the first pair of compression socks I've ever bought and they live up to their reputation. I first wore them the morning after cooking for 5 hours straight (standing the whole time, didn't think to wear them then). They instantly refreshed my legs. I continued to wear them the whole day and was loathe to take them off. The next morning I wore them for my first run and was thrilled! They're sleeker than expected (which is nice) and I was conscious of the pleasing constant support they offered throughout my run. These socks are much more economical then others I've priced (at $65-$80). It's a rare delight when the value of a product exceeds the expectation.

Not only are these socks super cute, but they are comfy and functional. I got these when I decided to run NYC Marathon b/c my feet would fall asleep on long runs and my calves would get a little stiff. I think these sucks really helped to alleviate that strain. Post marathon I had no discomfort at all in my calves. In addition I had lots of ladies in BKLYN and the Bronx commenting on how good I looked in my purple flowered skort, purple shirt and purple socks!! These socks also wash very well and haven't stretched out yet. I wear them regularly!

I own one pair of compression socks, but plan to purchase more. I wore them during the summer and didn't get too hot. I definitely noticed a difference in my legs following a long run. I'm planning to wear these in the winter to help to keep my legs warm. Some of my runner friends also use these socks when flying/traveling to help with leg circulation!

I wear these during training and when I ran a half marathon 2 weekends ago. My calves and feet felt awesome afterwards and I got a ton of complements on my socks during and after the race. These are a must have!

I was able to run a 10k race with these socks and didn't feel once pain of my old shin splint.
Very happy runner ... just ordered another in white!

These are like a hug for your legs - during and after a long run. They priced very fair. They have held up for multiple washings and wearings. Highly recommend!

For compression socks, these are the best price on the market! (CS will run $40-60 by other brands)

For those new to CS, here is how they work:

Compression from ankle to knee encourages blood circulation which is needed to repair tired muscles (long distance running = micro-tears). They also help reduce swelling from standing all day (medical, retail sales) and traveling.

Worn while running a marathon, your calves will recover quicker and the soreness will be zero to minimal.

Worn post-race, they will help with the swelling from being on your feet and encourage a faster recovery. The feet also have some soft cushion which is awesome running on or just wearing around the house. The feet are roomy in the toe box too, so the toes don't feel squished.

Worn while traveling, you will notice how you calves won't swell up like they normally do from sitting long hours on a flight or in a car.

Worn in the cold weather, these provide adequate enough warmth to your lower extremities which lose more heat versus your thighs (since thighs have a massive volume of muscle mass which produces lots of heat). If the temperatures are below 50F and even if I am going a 5 miler, I will put these on be comfortable running in a skirt, bare legged.

I have ran marathons without CS and with and can tell you there is a HUGE difference. W/o, my calves were sore for days and swollen. With, my calves had zero soreness, recovered fast (what felt like by the next day), and weren't swollen to the size of melons. hahaha

I cannot explain how much I love these compression socks. They seem pricey at first, but are actually less than many other brands. These socks are absolutely worth every penny. I own them in 4 different colors, and never leave the house on a run over 5 miles without these on. My legs are never sore after finishing my long runs! I love how fun the purple color is, they go great with my skirts!
