Zensah Tech+ Compression Socks - Running Compression Socks

Excellent

These Zensah socks are great. I have owned them for about a year, and just bought another pair since I have upped the frequency of my runs. Let's get right to what I like:1) NO BLISTERS. They prevent my feet from getting blisters on long runs (5+ miles)! Which is good. Because blisters are not fun.2) WARM. They keep my feet warm in subfreezing temperatures. I have run in temperatures as low as 7 Fahrenheit wearing these socks and running shoes. Running shoes are very thin, so I give a lot of credit to these socks!3) WICKS MOISTURE. My feet don't get really sweaty wearing these. Probably the cause of #1 (no blisters) but somehow it's like your feet barely sweat in most conditions. Everyone sweats differently. Your mileage may vary.4) MADE WITH DUMMIES LIKE ME IN MIND. You see that logo on the sock that is on the front, toward the top (knee)? That is not just for looks. It helps you put the sock on straight! You center that on your foot and on your leg as you pull it up. Which I always seem to have a hard time doing.5) SEXY-LOOKING. Yeah, I said it. They look nice. Dark color goes with everything! Makes my calves look beefy, too. So when people see me running, they are like, "Wow, that old fat slow guy has some beefy calves!"6) DURABLE. I probably have about a hundred runs on my first pair and I still use them. No holes, and I have razor-sharp toenails that love to make holes in socks. Big toe has this nail that kind of points up. It is really weird. And expensive due to constant sock replacement. But not with these Zensah socks!What's not to like:1) Not a huge color selection if you are the type of person to color coordinate with your head-band of the day or whatever.2) It takes some effort to put it on because they are tight. I have chronic back pain and the hardest part of a 9-mile run is getting dressed because frankly, some mornings, it hurts to put on these socks and my cold gear compression pants. But it is worth it, and now you know why because you first read all the many things I like about these.3) Someone said that these keep my legs from becoming fatigued. They may help a little, but don't expect miracles. They can't run the miles for you. You run the miles and your legs are going to feel it!Conclusion: I recommend these Zensah compression socks to anyone who runs for more than a couple miles at a time. Second most important piece of running equipment I purchased (#1 is running shoes).

I love these socks. The fit is perfect with just the right amount of compression, and it's surprisingly easy to put on for compression socks. I especially love the cushioning for the foot and heel area. They are very durable too, since the first pair that I bought is now 3 years old and still feels comfortable (granted with a small hole in the calf area).I have several pairs of these now (a couple of blue and a couple of the black/yellow/blue), since I wear compression socks on weekdays when I'm at work. I can then use them for exercise when I get home, and they still feel amazing.They are a bit pricey, but they are definitely worth the cost. If you can afford it and need compression socks daily, buy a few pairs.

Bought these for my girlfriend. She had a black pair that she really liked. Her favorite color is pink so when I saw these I ordered right away. She loves them. She wants another pair just like them. I will order more today.

I thought they were too expensive until I wore them. Now I wish I could return all of my cheap compression hose. These almost feel like they have a built in orthotic.

I have circulatory and blood clot issues that necessitate wearing compression socks which I hate! I'm 57 and pretty active so it's a real pain. When I saw the price on these I passed them over but that was a huge mistake because I've wasted so much money on ones that are terrible. There were plenty of socks that gave good compression for my calves but I could not find any that were comfortable on my feet. They either rubbed or made my feet sweaty, etc. Finally I tried these and they are the best! The seamless design means that they do not rub anywhere. And they breathe! I don't know how they do it but these socks are super comfortable and I don't even have to wash them that often because they don't get stinky!! It's so weird, but in an extremely great way! They are so comfortable in my shoes!!! I am a real consumer and I am not getting anything in return for this review. I also waited a long time before reviewing so that I put the to the test. If you need compression socks, just bit the bullet and spend the money for these. They are worth it!To Zensah - I love the bright colors for working out and stuff but I do wish the company would make some in a buff color (actually a few different skin tone shades would be great so people could match their skin tone!) so that they wouldn't be noticeable. Having to wear compression socks when I fly or drive has seriously hindered my ability to look fashionable while traveling so some all black or nude would be great Zensah! You make black but the heels are still colored and so they show. Other than that - you've nailed it!!!

Excellent product well made.The leg support material is as it should be and not just a suggested support like cheaper products. I can honestly recommend this product.

The socks did what they promised to do. Kept feet well circulated. Feet were not swollen after a long 10 hr flight. Very happy with this product.

Perfect for long shifts in hospital

Great compression socks. Would of gave 5 stars but took off a star due to price!

I wear US Women's size 12 (43 EU), so I got the large, as recommended. I have very narrow feet, so they are far from taut, but they fit well (no bunching). The compression is perfect for me - nice and snug around the Achilles, but not overly tight in the calf area (so fairly easy to get on and off). Someone looking for tighter compression might want to size down. I have a 36" inseam, so was concerned about the length, but they seem to stretch in all directions and come right up to my knees. I wear these for running, and they stay in place nicely. We'll see how long they last, but my first impression is the best of all the brands I've tried.
