My doctor has suggested I try compression socks for running but I'm at a loss. THERE'S SO MANY MANUFACTURERS! So what are your favourite brands? And how does sizing work? I wear an 10.5-11 shoe (Ladies) and my calf is 15" around at the widest point.

    Hi there. Compresssion sleeves are AWESOME! I don't wear the socks just the sleeves and they are a life saver!!
    I recently got some on Amazon...MUCH cheaper.. I tried them yesterday on a mile run and will never take them off!

    I've warn a pair of CEP compression socks in my last three marathons. Aside from looking totally dorky, I like them. I haven't had a problem with calf cramps since I got them, but that may just coincidence. I'll upload a pick to my profile with my "lovely" socks.

    My only dislike about them is they are a total pain in the butt to get off.

    I wear nike compression socks, even as my normal everyday socks. I love them.
