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

Hi Steve C. Long story short... I wear 10 1/2 EE Mizuno Wave Alchemy and 11 EE Asics GT 2100 series, as well as Gel Nimbus... but when I buy these particular Wigwam socks, I buy the extra large size, because I have foot problems and tight socks just don't work for me. Pinched nerves and bad circulation are not fun. The extra large size fits me perfectly after the first washing... and are only slightly loose before that first laundry trip. Good luck

I went one up. I recommended 2 pairs of socks or 1 thick pair. Softer on your feet and warmer in cold water. Very happy with the pair I got.

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

I can only guess, because the compression is not given anywhere online or with the socks. They feel like a 20-30 compression to me... that's the best I can tell you.

I don't fly, but I do not think it would make a difference But people with blood clotting disorders would not be any safer with compression socks. I would ask my physican.

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

Yes, it's $14 per pair. They last a long time, though. I've gotten more life out of these socks than cotton socks that I just wear to work. The price, I imagine, comes from the material and the extra padding that's added in places (not much padding, but enough). To me, a proper pair of running socks is worth it. Wearing these instead of cotton socks has significantly reduced the amount of blisters I get from running. Now, granted, you may be able to find a good pair of running socks cheaper. The primary reason I went with this pair over other running socks was because they had an XL size. If you're just looking for a large, you may consider getting a different pair.

I wear a size 9 running shoe and am right between a Medium and Large in these socks. The large is a better fit. I can't address other sizes but I hope this helps. These are fantastic socks, in my (humble) opinion.

I purchased the gray "XXL adult" pillow paws Terries Slip Resistant Socks. They are 16.5" long when they are new. I tried other brands, but this brand fit my feet the best, and they are Double Imprinted, which means that you can wear them with the slip-resistant marks on the top or the bottom of the foot; because they are "tube" socks, there is no heel. They seem to last longer than other brands which have the slip-resistant marks only on one side of the tube sock. They come in different sizes which are color-coded: Toddler (yellow); Youth (Lt. blue); Adult (Teal); XL Adult (Tan); XL Adult (Red), and XXL Adult (Gray). I recommend them.

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

Sorry, I didn't see this question till tonight. I have and wear these compression socks almost nightly. I've had them for almost 3 months and I still find these to have excellent support.

I wear a size 6 1/2 or 7 shoe. I originally lurched a med, but the felt they were a little big, so I ordered a second pair in size small. They fit perfectly, not to tight and don't stretch out too much during my workout.You'll love these socks. Good luck:)

The price is for one sock, given that people usually suffer from PF in one foot in particular. It seems like an outrageous price, but this sock made a huge difference in my recovery. In fact, it allowed me to continue running while recovering. Well worth the price.

I have both, and I prefer the ultra. The regular barely feels like any compression. It's much more comfortable, but it doesn't make a big difference for me. I should mention I use them primarily because I have low blood pressure, instead of solely athletic reasons. The Ultra makes a big difference, and the regular maybe makes a slight difference, but really just feels like I'm wearing snug leg warmers. I agree with the first reviewer though, the top band of the ultra does bind.
