As a runner, I believe in compression sleeves and socks. Tommy Copper may have had a tough time with the FTC ruling last December for using compression technology for advertising, but that shouldn't be the case. Don't count compression stockings or sleeves. Anyway, you have to try them yourself and see if they work for you. Because there are those who believe that compression sleeves and socks really work. I have actually used compression stockings to relieve my plantar fascia (assuming that in addition to stretching and wearing heavily padded sneakers at work and boots at night, I wore compression stockings during and after the injury). In fact, I wear compression stockings when I go running. Although I felt they helped me personally, I don't know if it will help anyone else besides me, I believe they work and I still wear them. Copper compression stockings should be slightly snug. Not to the point of constricting the circulatory system, but more like a glove on the hand, but a sock that nestles tightly around the foot. Ergonomic fit so the band doesn't roll or pinch. And as ankle socks, for those who want to wear ankle socks that really stay on and don't want them to be fully visible in certain shoes, they've done really well. Material Composition: 66% Nylon, 28% Polyester Comfortrel, 4% Olefin and 2% Spandex. Well, one thing that might put people off compression stockings is the prices. And Tommie Copper Ankle Compression Socks are $19.50 a pair. I know these are more than two pairs of Balega running socks and there are competitors who sell cheaper compression socks (can't tell what those cheaper socks are or how they compare). , do not smell, offer comfort and are perfect for my foot size 11 and not too tight but just enough to offer comfortable compression. It's really hard to say anything negative about the sock at all. While I'm not thrilled with the price, I love these Tommie Copper Lightweight Compression Ankle Socks and would recommend them!
