CEP Women's Compression Run Progressive Sock Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This sock comes in three sizes: 9-12.5", 12,5-15" and 15.25-17.5." I was measured in Fleet Feet where an employee measured the widest part of my calf while I stood straight up, legs relaxed, and facing forward. I bought my first pair in 2010. It's just as good as the two pairs I bought and received through Amazon. CEP hasn't changed its model at all: same seamless construction, same size panels, same fiber content, thread count and proportions as far as I can tell. I wash cold and hang dry. Once washed, the sock resets to its "factory settings" but as I wear them after a hard workout (about 2 hours at a time) they warm and relax, hugging my lower leg without cutting off circulation.

These help prevent shin splints and increase the rate of recovery for my tired calves. I've used them training for a half and full marathon, and right now they're in use for a 2nd sprint triathlon training cycle. I bought 2 more just to have a clean pair immediately ready and for color options. Color doesn't affect the sock: there's no difference in fabric feel or elasticity. If I put on one of my new blues and one from the 3-year-old greens there's no difference between the socks. Even in clothing I've seen differences in fabric based on dye color but not so here. I love these so much I bought a pair for my sister, who is a cardio class teacher at 2 gyms. I had her stand and I measured her with a soft plastic measuring tape. They help her recover from hip hop dance, weight lifting, and step class. I recommend having someone else measure you because your calf shape changes from stooping and measuring yourself, and then your size may not be accurate.

We both still use our foam rollers, tennis balls, and Sticks but the compression socks help recovery along even better. I've tried running in them but I find them constricting and too hot for my taste and prefer to wear them after the run (I wear "invisible" socks normally). I know these are terrifically expensive but I can't praise them enough for their quality, performance and longevity so please be confident and buy a pair. One will do: I had just one for 3 years and it continues to serve me well. I've just purchased 2 more because I'm fortunate enough to be in a position to buy them.

I was confused in the purchasing of these socks because the first item you see on amazon tells you it is a women's compression run sock. When you select it for the cart, it randomly morphs into a men's sock. I took a chance that the error was in saying it was a man's sock and not visa versa. That did not pay off for me. I wrote the company to ask them about it and this was part of their response:

Most of the description errors on amazon are the result of amazon's system. We don't actually have control over the listings amazon does. So we might list the product the right way, and then when another merchant lists it, they change the listing and it changes it for all of the sellers. Then we can't change it back unless we manually contact amazon and they do it. They will only do that if we prove to them that it is incorrect product information by giving them a link to a manufacturers website.

If this is truly amazon's business practice for describing items, it is dumb. Now I have to go through the hassle of sending a return. And find someplace else to purchase the sock.

I bought a pair of these socks just because they weren't like the ones the doctor gave me. When I received them, I was amazed at how comfortable they are and how much support that they have. I have several pairs and have never had a problem with them. They are machine washable and very stylish. I would highly recommend these socks for anybody with an injury or DVT in their leg as I have.
