Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First things first- -I’m a 34 year old, very healthy, in excellent shape, white woman. -I am 5’11”, 129lbs -I exercise 6-7 days a week, anywhere between 45 minutes to 3 hours each day (depending on how much time I have that day). I alternate between, pilates, yoga, weight training, HIIT on treadmills, and spin class. No day of exercise is the same. -I have run 7 full marathons and as of this review, 58 half marathons. I DO NOT RUN AS EXERCISE, unless I am doing a race. So when I do run these longer distances, I’m using muscles that don’t get used for such extended periods of time, and tend to be a little sore afterwards. -Yesterday I ran 13.1 miles in 1hr58mins. -TODAY I used these compression socks for the first time, to see how it would assist in my recovery and help with any residual soreness. -These socks fit me easily on my feet, calves and thighs. I would say for my height and weight, I have average sized feet (9.5W), average sized calves, and larger thighs (no thigh gap here). -This was very easy to set up out of the box, took me less than 2 minutes and I didn’t need to look at the instructions. -The compression on these is legitimate. I have used very expensive compression boots at professional recovery centers (think compression boots, IV drips, cryotherapy, etc.) - I started with these on the highest setting, and they definitely offer serious and strong compression. If you’ve never done compression before, start with the second light above the -+ sign, and work your way up. -After 10 minutes of compression (in the order I completed it) on my thighs, calves, and feet, I felt significantly less sore. Especially in my thighs and hamstrings. Overall review for those that exercise- This will help with muscle soreness and recovery. I will probably use this a few times a week after hard workouts, and will 100% use this the same day as I do races. If this stops working or malfunctions, I will update this review.
