Recovery Sock Product Review & Giveaway

Recovery Socks are so popular right now and are pretty affordable compared to the other compressions socks I've seen. They come in the standard black, white and grey, but are also offered in fucshia and lime green. Hmmmm ... do I have a running skirt to match these?!?! This cute fucshia pair is sweet and they are exactly what I snagged to review were only listed at $34.90.

Recovery socks claims that they are a graduated compressions sock. They are supposed to enhance and stimulate circulation in your lower legs. You can wear Recovery Socks during a long training run to keep your legs fresh or aftwards during recovery. They are also great for long airplane rides and traveling.

They claim that they will boost your performance, improves oxygen delivery to the muscles, stimulates blood circulation, reduces leg cramps and stiffness and will reduce lactic acid production in your legs.

They are made of a wicking and antibacterial fiber (we're all so technical, aren't we?!) and were tested on World Class endurance athletes.

I've worn my Recovery Socks three or four times already. Once on my recent 18 miler and the others on shorter treadmill runs (3-4 miles). I also wore them once AFTER a workout, to see if I'd feeling any different during recovery.

They were great for my long outdoor run, because the weather was somewhat cool, and the socks kept my legs warm. When the sun came out and things heated up over the next three hours, I didn't overheat, as I feared I would with these socks. They kept me at the right temperature. I was worried that they may shift or fall down, but they didn't. I also have "thicker" legs then other long distance runners and they seem to fit me just fine. They may not look as sleek as they would on some of you, but they fit just fine and didn't need adjusting as I ran. Now that I look back to last weekend, I didn't feel sore the next day after running 18 miles, didn't have trouble walking down stairs or anything. I'm not sure if this was due to the Recovery Socks or not. But, they sure didn't hurt the training run.



The first time I wore them was on a 5K treadmill run and I felt the biggest effect during that wear. My legs felt a bit tingly which kept my mind entertained during my workout.


They are also super cute, as some of you are really getting into the knee-high socks craze right now while running. As much as I love being matchy-matchy and sporting cute running outfits, I wonder if others out walking during my long run just thought I was trying to be "cute" rather than testing out some "compression socks". Oh well, I guess that's multi-tasking!!
