CEP Compression Socks (SportsCompression.com) Product Review & Giveaway

Earlier this fall, I was contacted by David from SportsCompression.com (HERE) to conduct my review of CEP Compression Socks (HERE).

I was asked the following information:

1. Calf Circumference at the widest point - 14 1/2 inches
2. Color Preference - pink (of course)

I was sent a pair of pink CEP Compression Socks in a women's size III.

I told David that these would be great to try out after running marathon #3. I thought they would be great for recovery after the race. I also mentioned that they may be a good option to wear during the race if it were chilly, though I was doubtful I could wear compression socks for 26+ miles. He assured me that they would be a "good wear" during my 26.2 mile journey.

Race day it was 30-something degrees when we started and still only in the 50's when we finished. I wore running shorts and these babies kept my legs warm and comfortable during the entire run. My legs also felt fresh. I didn't have any problems with my legs until that last mile. I never hit a wall and my legs didn't start to "buckle" until I was approaching the finish line. Just look at how great I was feeling ...

These stayed in place during the entire 26 miles. I loved the fit. They never moved. Really. They felt really tight when I first put them ... but that was good. They were a perfect and clung to fit ME perfectly. I was a little concerned because I have bigger legs (stronger legs, right?!) for a runner, and was concerned that the top of the socks may dig into my legs and the back of my knees while I was running. But, they didn't. They were comfortable. They were awesome.

Because the CEP Compression Socks kept my legs so fresh during the race, I was only feeling sore for a couple of days post race and went out for a recovery run three days post-marathon. I think that says a lot. I could have gone sooner, but mentally, I needed a break.

Another great fact ... I kept all of my toenails after this marathon! With the other two I have had tons of TERRIBLE blisters on my feet, including under a few toenails. I've always lost toenails from a marathon. Not this time. Not a single blister! Believe it. If you're worried about chaffing and blistering ... dont't.

At $54.99 they are not a small investment for your running wardrobe. We all know that. But, I think they are a great investment at that. Men and women are both wearing them at races. Men seem to wear them for function and women wear them for fashion and function (at list I do!). My legs and I had a great experience at my marathon with CEP Compression Socks. I think you'll have a great experience as well. Maybe you can put a pair on your wish list for the holidays?! Have someone else make that investment for you!
