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

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.

These compression sleeves will provide about as much protection as a pair of thick knee socks. I have not noticed any improvements in my agility due to the compression sleeves, though they do reduce to some degree the fatigue of standing or sitting for a long time.

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

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.

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.

sometimes online you can luck out with 2 or 3 pairs in a package. however asics is pricey but exceptional quality. for fashionistas they demand socks match their shoes. i honestly don't care myself but i can say these are long lasting and holds its elasticity as well. certainly NOT worth it for 1 pair - just keep shopping!

I can only answer from my own experience, of course. The yoga gems fit me better than yoga toes. They also stayed snug a lot longer.

Not that I could find. I have been happy with Dr. Schols (sp?) light compression socks from Walmart. they are cheaper, too.

A very subjective question. Nevertheless, I suspect you will be fine with the 2mm Neoprene socks.

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.

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.

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

These are thicker than Jobst, but still is a compression sock that really isn't for the purpose of keeping your feet warm.. Why not put heavy sock over?

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

I went to the 2XU website and checked what their size grid looked like. It is a grid, based on size shoe and calf measurement.
