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

Yes, they are completely different because they are tailored to your particular feet and posture. You should go in to one of the many stores that have a pressure sensor (Bed, Bath and Beyod for instance) and check what works best for you. I've had these for over a year now and they really make a huge difference. I use them in my work shoes.

The socks don't have legit elastic at the top to keep the sock from sagging because of the sock weight. I can't tell a difference in temps. Don't buy into the hype. Buy some I dickies socks. They fit much better and do the job plus they have built in arch support.

Not sure about the difference but the SUP version probably has wider supports the supports are at least as wide as my SUPs.

I believe, yes, that's what they're called. There's no big honkin' seam at the end with a bit of thread sticking out, if that's what you mean. The two seams across the top of the toes and at the toe end are nearly invisible and I have never ever felt them while walking or running or anything.

Yes. In my opinion when I wear the compressions, I feel more secure. I feel my legs are supported as I run. I do not feel overly compressed or too tight. I wear them for every run and love the feel. Definitely recommend.

I haven't tried the original to compare. I have only used in women's New Balance gym shoes and casual shoes (Drew brand) that have a deep toe bed. Works for me well in these shoes. I have a narrow foot and don't feel squished, but these type of shoes are roomy.

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.

Not too sure. I tossed the packaging. However, my husband has tried several different brands and he likes these ones best. In my opinion, the socks are mostly thin (really thin) cotton and a little nylon. Hope you like them. I do recommend them. Michelle

The Strutz Pro has a wider, fatter cushion. Sole angel seems better for ball of foot pain and smaller. I prefer the Pro hands down. Hint: Keep one to wash and one to wear.

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

Oh, you poor thing....both feet hurt from this? Ouch and I thought I had it bad.....when I ordered mine, which was some time ago, I got two for the price of one. I think that they said in the description of the socks that there were two. Anyway, good luck and they are wonderful by the way . Using Penetrex really helps too!!!!

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".

Hello My 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.

They are radically different. You need to find a store that has a dr. Scholl's kiosk that measurese the pressure on your foot (it's free) and you will get an analysis of which orthotic fits you best. There are about 20 different choices, so don't guess. This product saved my feet!
