SLS Tri Compression Socks Review & Giveaway

Facebook recently introduced me to SLS Tri (HERE) - or SLS3.  They market themselves as "intelligent race apparel".  They claim their gear will change the way you think about what to wear during training and competition.  It is designed to reduce muscle vibration, a major cause of muscle fatigue, improve the feedback between your body and your brain, increase accuracy and efficiency of your movement, and provide superior comfort and fit.

 

I LOVE compression socks!  I have several pairs and several colors.  Many of my clients see me at the first day of practice and just think I'm wearing retro knee-high socks for fun.  Well, that's part of it, but compression socks also make my legs feel awesome!  Not to mention, when they are paired with a pair of running shorts or a cute skirt, they cut the wind on your legs and make a cool spring or fall day very comfortable for a run.

I was sent a beautiful pair of Butterfly Compression Socks (HERE) in pink.  I wear a size 10 running shoe and was sent a size large sock.  These fit me perfectly.  They were snug, but not too tight, as I've experienced with some other brands.  They stayed up when I ran at the gym and on my twelve miler this past weekend.  They never had to be adjusted and didn't cut into my knees.

The Butterfly Compression socks retail online for $60, which is a bit pricey.  But, if you are familiar with compression socks - you will know that this is pretty comparable to other brands and their non-sale prices.  These socks are offered in hot pink and light blue.  i just wish they would offer some more colors!

It's been stated that these compression socks have boosted bloodflow by 34%!  This increases the oxygen being delivered to your leg muscles - and calves - and can increase your performance.  These work great for short and long workouts - keeping your legs fresh - even for the longest workouts.  They have even been known to reduce ankle and foot injuries, due to running.  Even after I dusted off my running shoes for a twelve miler recently, my lower legs felt fresh and were not sore the next day.  It was only my hip flexers that were sore from the long run.  I really think the SLS Tri Compression socks helped prevented post-run soreness in my shins and calves.

I have had my couch to 5K clients suffer from many common "newbie" injuries - compression socks worn during a few short workouts have ocassionally help fixed the problem.
