Bought these for Tough Mudder Dallas 2014. These were a LIFE SAVER and I'm glad I made the purchase.1. Size: I wear a 8.5-9 shoe size and these socks fit me perfectly. They are super tight to put on, but once they are on, they provide a ton of comfort, especially around the foot.2. Comfort: These were very comfortable and not too tight. And, having ran the Tough Mudder, I appreciated that they stayed on my calves for the whole 12 miles without me having to pull them back up.3. Functionality: I've never used compression socks before, but I have to assume these things worked for a number of reasons. First, I am prone to severe shin splints. With these things on, I was able to run 12 miles without issue (and I can barely run a 5k). Second, I injured my toe on the very first obstacle, but the compression kept my injury padded and comfortable enough for me to complete the entire race and all obstacles. I wouldn't recommend doing it, but I think the socks actually helped keep the swelling down from my injury.4. Tough Mudder: For those buying these for tough mudder, I'd have to say that in all honesty you probably won't need them if you're in pretty good shape. I bought these primarily to keep the rocks from getting in my shoes/socks during the run. And in that respect, it worked. While many other runners were taking breaks getting the rocks out of their socks, I was able to complete the race without stopping.
