Review on Optimize Your Run with Zensah Tech+ Compression Socks by Hector Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reduces ankle and shin pain

I wear size 11 shoes, but I bought medium socks. It was absolutely the right move as a big bet wouldn't bring any benefit (due to loose play). The material is well thought out and is as stretchy as it should be, the fit is great and the socks feel durable. I was suffering from a cleft shin and they almost fixed the problem. I wear them at different times during and after my run and occasionally at night. They never cause discomfort and are easily forgotten. They are very easy to put on, and I usually turn them inside out to about mid-foot, put them on, and then pull the rest up. There is a video on YouTube that explains this process. Tasteful socks are marked with "L” and "R” in contrasting color (grey) on the left and right. The ZS logo is subtle but still adds interest. I had surgery on one of my ankles and both are notoriously unstable and these socks provide just enough compression and support to eliminate ankle pain while running. It's important to note that I'm also a paramedic and after a few hours of research I settled on these socks. They have been washed every other time I use them which is about 3 times a week and they are still like new. Remember that they cannot be dried. Just let them air out overnight and you're done. Be careful with sizing as the wrong size can result in a less than comfortable experience.
