I wear compression socks on short runs or after a long run. There are also compression sleeves which I wear on my long runs so I can wear the socks that I'm used to while running. Then I put on the compression socks to recover in for the rest of the day.0

I have compression socks I wear after long runs. I have been thinking about getting a pair of compression sleeves for use during long runs, so I can still wear my usual wicking socks.0

Compression socks improve the blood flow in your lower legs and they make muscles/tedons vibrate less due to the impact of striking the ground. So I would say during AND after - to maximize the benefits... I wear them during and after! and they seem to help.0

I read someone say they are only supposed to be used to help after a run and should never be worn for running - which I thought was Funny - Because I wear them during my long runs, based upon the advice of my Podiatrist, who has ran over 70 marathons himself. I'll take the dr advice0
