I have been running for a few years now and am always noticing other runners wearing long compression socks.
My question is do they actually work? As they always seem a little expensive so dont want to buy a pair if its a waste of money.
Also what should i be looking out for and is there any good brands for them?

Hello, Been wondering too.
Hello,
Been wondering too. Buying a pair today.
In the hospital we used wraps/pantyhose/spandex to reduce edema & inflammation. Some patients couldn't afford patent products for home use, we suggested these DIY and sizes much smaller than normal.
Assuming these compression socks work on the same principle, so expecting a better recovery especially my left heel. My left heel has always been tender post hiking or running all my life, would just elavate foot on my desk :)
Hoping this will speed up recovery time.
Will post a follow-up
