Is there a big difference between these 2XU running socks and the 2 XU recovery socks?

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

These are much thinner than my Balega socks. I thought they would be comparable, but they're really not. I wear my Balega's when running and these for other times...they're too thin for me.

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.

yes, but there are different strengths of compression stockings as well. The tighter they are, the harder they will be to get this device into them. It all depends on how much strength you have and how much strength your stockings have and your own dexterity. I've bought two and pre-load them with the two socks myself and leave them for the patient, so that when the patient is ready to put on their own socks, they can do that part themselves. You can always return them if they don't work for you, right?

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:)

Dr. Scholl's massaging sport insoles seemed to offer more cushion so they felt better (at least in the beginning). Airplus Ultra Work insoles were firmer and the fabric on top seemed to be more durable. So I think Airplus Ultra Work insoles probably last a little longer. Good luck!

Yep. I got these for running, so the interior socks were soaked in sweat. So even though my feet did not get wet from the snow, they were wet from sweat and just as cold because the air and ground was cold. If you are not working out too hard, interior socks might add warmth. These socks are not warm like wool, just water proof. :)

I usually put them over the neoprene booties on my waders. But i have used them just over cotton socks when i don't wanna use the waders . Not the thin kinda dress socks mind you but the kind you would ware with running shoes. Both work fine

Nothing really, except alignment socks will "crush" after a while and loose their effectiveness. But they may be a little more comfortable due to the coziness factor if you like socks on your feet. Separaters will retain their form.

I am a powerlifter so only use them for deadlifts. They seem good. No sock is invincible, if you are going to constantly scrape a sock against a bar or a rope they will eventually break down. But better a $10-15 sock then your shin.

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

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.

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.

Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping. Original Yaktrax are a good product for occasional use, but the rubber you are running/walking on will fail with much use (same for the heel area of these you are considering). Stablicer Run are excellent, but a handful of bolts-weight on each shoe! (I get the mail with them, only) Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping.

I had not thought of them as compression socks, but in a way they are a light compression because the upper sock retains its hug on your calf nicely, unlike some discount socks that stretch out quickly so you have to tug them up your leg and back in place after a while. The foot portion is not as 'huggy', but it holds its shape and position on your foot nicely. They are very comfortable!
