What’s special about this brand?

If you don’t need this particular brand, I’m pretty sure they sell compression socks at drug stores, walmart, etc.

Hello:

I got mine at Hannulink.com, but I just discovered that Ironman.com store is selling them for $10 each CHEAPER. Who would have thunk that? Tim

I have looked at, but not used the drug store type, and I think they are OK if you are going to be sitting in a chair all day and want to avoid DVT, but not good for athletics. I have used CEP socks on a compu trainer three times for two hours each (heavy sweat workouts) and find them to be real athletic socks. I haven’t done any actual running in them, but I think they will work well. Tim

I use the compression socks from Walmart. They’re $4/pair and labeled for air travel. I do make one modification, though… I cut the feet off so that I can use my sock of choice. (I have to have my Balega Enduros for long runs!) Turns out as something like this…

…but for 1/10 the price. The only downside is that you’re limited to navy or black. No issues with them unraveling, etc. (I used Pinking Shears to cut the feet off.) I love them and use them all the time.

Why wouldn’t drug store compression socks be good for athletics? Do they lose their compressive properties when they get wet?

I picked up a pair the other day and have only used them for recovery but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work for running. They’re thin and fairly light weight so I can’t imagine they would absorb sweat or somehow not work while active.
