So, I've been hearing everyone rave about the Pro Compression Marathon socks and they were running a 40% off promo this month so I said what the heck, I'll try them too. I already have a pair of CEP compression socks that I LOVE but they are pricey and these were only $30 after the promo code. I got a pair of smalls as I have a size 8 shoe in women's. They arrived at my house about 4 days after I ordered them and I decided to try them out last evening for a quick 3.5 mile run around the neighborhood in the snow! They were a little big and not as snug as my CEP's but a whole lot easier to put on. I really didn't feel like there was a difference in my legs or my run. Same pace, same distance, same feeling (still no pain :)).
I'll have to say though that my CEP's feel like they are offering compression, these may be too big but I followed the sizing chart so I'm thinking that is the type of compression the socks are supposed to offer. On a positive not, they are SUPER cute in pink!!! My CEP's are white (boring) so it's a nice change and my neighbors think I'm really crazy now with my getups.
Next up will be a Kona Kase review. They are sending me a Kase in the mail and are offering my readers a 50% off discount on their Kase if you enter the code "hughes". I'll let you know what I think as soon as I dig into the Kase.
Happy Running!!!
I will be posting a review/giveaway of PRO Compression in a few days. I got a size S/M as I wear a 7.5 shoe, but because I have large calves, they are quite tight at the tops of my calves, but I like how they fit everywhere else.

Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI have very skinny ankles and relatively small calves, maybe that's the problem. Thanks for commenting, I'm still trying to get the hang of blogging.
