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

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

I have purchased both the dress sock and the regular compression sock. The dress sock is more of a traditional knitted type sock. I didn't feel the dress sock felt like as firm of a compression as the regular sock.

They come as a pair. I use mine while doing leg lifts on my exercize machine. They only have one velcro strap in the middle and if used while running they will slide down. They might work behind your socks.

I do not know about the ultra lights; however, the Darn Tough quarter hiking socks are at least twice as thick on the bottom as a crew sock. This provides a nice layer of "padding" while walking or hiking.

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

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 think for both it depends on ur size, its a good product i've been using mine for a year no runs so far and the compression seems still good on my calf.

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!

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 think they are somewhat similar but thinner and silkier. I prefer a thicker sock.

I kept a pair of the originals to use at our lake camper and I cannot tell that much difference in the thicknes between the two sets. The new pair works just as well, but as has always be the case with these gloves, they run small. Hope this was helpful.

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.

I found out the hard way. It is only one, so I had to order a second one. That being said, they are a unique type of compression sock that is worth having around. I would buy my "two" again :)

It calls for the Large/XLarge, but if you have a very thin calf, I would recommend you look into the Sockwell Men's Elevation Compression sock, they are 20-30mmHg in compression where the Circulator's are 15-20mmHg. Hope this helps.

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.

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