A few weeks ago, the kind people at PRO Compression offered me an opportunity to try their Marathon line of compression socks and host a giveaway for my readers. They also gave me a PRO Compression coupon code to share for 40% off!
They have so many fun colors and patterns to choose from! I’m already a fan of PRO Compression socks (check out my hot pink pair here!), but if you are interested in learning how compression socks can improve your performance and recovery, they have some technical information on their website:
PRO Compression socks deliver maximum comfort and speedy recovery times. The science is complex, but benefits such as improved blood flow, stability and comfort are universally understood. The moment you put these socks on your feet, you will feel the difference. True graduated compression promotes circulation by pushing fluid up from your feet and ankles to toward your knees. This design also helps reduce swelling and inflammation while providing critical support to muscles and tendons.
They say that they use “a proprietary blend of nylon and poly materials” that is “optimized for performance,” but I love that the material is relatively thin and dries quickly.
My dirty little secret of Ragnar is that I wore my new PRO Compression socks for every leg! They just felt so comfortable and kept my calves happy over all those hills. (You can benefit from wearing compression socks before, during and after a run, because they enhance blood flow which aids performance and speeds up muscle recovery.) And, I promise they weren’t sweaty or smelly when I put them on again! 😉
Another bonus about PRO Compression socks? They are designed and manufactured in the USA!

I have never tried compression socks before, but I am very curious about how they work, and I am thinking that in the cold weather at the very least they can keep my warm.
I love wearing ProCompression after a long run! They really do save my legs!
is it sad and wrong I WEAR THESE WHEN I FLY?!
<3 <3 <3
I wore them on every leg of ragnar and also in between legs. I think it really helped!
I love my Balega socks but I’m wanting to pair them with some ProCompression sleeves as my runs get longer
I love pro compression! I only have 1 pair but definitely need to get more so maybe I will use this coupon 😉 I love the ones you have and I want a pair of hot pick ones as well!
I LOVE procompression. They helped me at Ragnar DC also!! (and with my recovery afterwards!) Love the game face btw. 🙂
I’ve never heard of running socks. I always thought compression socks were for old ladies with varicose veins.
I’ve tried the CEP Compression socks for running and I’m very happy with them, however I’ve heard great things about ProCompression and look forward to giving them a try.
I love compression socks post long run as well! Much more comfy than an ice bath for recovery 🙂
Procompression and Bioskin are my favorites!
Yes! I love Injinji and ProCompression.
My relatives every time say that I am wasting my time here at web, except I know I am getting experience
every day by reading such good posts.
Usually wear them while running, but I need to start wearing them more for recovery. I really love the blue and white pattern above! Super cute!!!
I run in plain nike socks but race in compression sleeves!
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. Nevertheless
just imagine if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could certainly be one of the very best
in its field. Very good blog!
I love Balega and Thorlo socks – I usually save compression for recovery
I’m not very particular with my running socks but I do like compression socks for my long runs or back to back hard days!!!
I love love love pro compression low trainers!
I also wear ProCompression
I haven’t invested in a good pair of running socks, but I’ve heard awesome things about Procompression and have been wanting to try them!
I don’t really have a favorite brand of running socks. I typically wear whatever I have available, or whatever’s the best deal.
I love ProCompression. But then again, I’ve never tried any other brands 🙂
1) ProCompression for anything longer than 5 miles or if I am feeling sore and 2) Nike low cut socks are my back up go to sock.
I’ve heard so many great things about compression socks in general, and ProCompression in particular. I’m very excited to try them!
I love wearing Experia socks, but there’s nothing like recovering my a pair of PRO Compression socks or sleeves!
I don’t have a favorite brand of running socks…. but I would love to try compression socks!
I like procompression and Zensah, each for different reasons.
I really like Feetures!
Got some great Pro Compression socks for my Avengers race costume! Would love to win:)
I don’t have a favorite pair of running socks. Really I just toss on whatever is clean
Procompression!
I love pro compression sleeves but haven’t tried their socks yet. Usually now I wear balega or nike. Hopefully I can win so I can try PC socks!!
I like injinji socks right now. I love my pro compression socks for recovery!
My fave socks are either the Pro low trainers or the Balega enduro. Depends on what mood I’m in, haha.
I have a pair of Zoot compression sleeves that I love to wear while I’m running but I also have a pair of Pro Compression socks that rock my recovery world.
yes! I love procompression and Feetures!
