Is there a big difference between these 2XU running socks and the 2 XU recovery socks?
4036
The 2XU running socks are compression socks with a compression of 30. I have had blood clots in the past & need the 30 compression. I don't know the compression rate of the recovery sock. Sorry. If you need 30 compression go with the running sock, or check with your doctor. He/she should be able to tell you.

the running sock is VERY hard putting on and taking off. but love the sock, very great on the legs. i leave them on all day. but, really i would wear the socks when walking, running and every day wear. p s too heavy for hot months

my foot is 11.5 and am into minimalistic running so my arch is larger than usual (It's almost impossible to fit into regular runners). I can fit the large over my foot but it's way too tight. My impression is that they make the socks slightly smaller than they should be. I would go one size larger than what I normally wear if I were you.

What my comment covered was the "crew" sock which is a lighter weight than the other's purchased from the mfg., and were to lessen leg and foot pain due to numerous injuries etc., and because the gauge was thinner than the other's purchased earlier not as well constructed where stitching seemed weak and potentially to wear out sooner.

HelloMy son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

I personally don't see much of a difference, one may be a shade darker then the other. I had purchased the gold socks.

Since Amazon only sent your question and not the review that it is asked about, I'm not sure which product you are asking about. If it is the boots, I believe they were a 9 1/2, if it is the compression socks, they are a little larger, but work quite well. If I have guessed wrong on both accounts, ask again and tell me which product you are referring to. thanks!

Both versions have a jersey cotton inner layer and the same amount of polyfil. The only difference is the outer layer - cotton in one and microfleece in the other. If you are looking to maximize breathability, the cotton would probably be your better option.

That's a hard question to answer because it is all relative to what other compression hose/socks you've used before.I'd say they are a little harder to put on than the low compression hose out there. Definitely not as hard as the high compression Sigvaris or Jobst stockings. I use them everyday instead of using Jobst/Sigvaris with my normaldress socks on top of that. I use these as my dress socks and "kill two birds with one stone".

ly to Louis's question, my husband says these socks are not compression socks. Rather they are extremely comfortable and feather light. Teri V.

According to the Thirty48 website, these are 15-20mmHg. Check out this link for more complete info: http://www.thirty48.com/cp-compression-socks-series-recovery-sleeve

They are not what I consider thin nor are they excessively thick. However, Mizuno makes a knee high sock that is ribbed and recommended for both volleyball and softball. It has a thinner feel and may suit your needs. Not certain of how many colors are offered.

The mid weight is heavier. The progression is light-original-mid. I usually only wear mine while running or working out - usually with vibram 5 fingers shoes. Warmth is not the reason I wear Injinji socks, so I can't give you good feedback regarding their warmth + I live in the South, so their utility in keeping your feet warm is not something I have tested. They might be very useful as liner socks in heavier socks for warmth. As with the comparison of gloves and mittens, mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves, since they keep the digits together. This might also be true, but to a lesser degree for the Injinji socks. They do have more information on their website. http://www.injinji.com/ The mid weight is heavier.

I wouldn't consider the socks as thin. I use them for volleyball and love them. They do have some cushioning. They work perfectly for volleyball and are currently my favorite socks. I don't, however, know about their use as softball socks.

These socks are 20-30 mmHg and they only come up to mid calf on me. Sockwell also makes a knee hi with slightly less compression. I like both.

This is only a personal observation. My feet sweat less in these than in a cotton sock.

I don't know what the "2.0" stands for as there was nothing on the packaging when I received my toe socks. I am not even sure what the 2x stands for unless you ordered 2 pair. When I ordered 3 pairs, I know that I only received 3 pairs of socks. Also, keep in mind that these are considered liner socks. When I wear boots, I wear then under a pair of hiking socks, but when I wear my hiking sneakers, I only wear these liner socks.
