CEP Men's Graduated Night Run Socks 2.0

Great for night runs. I love the reflective stripe on the socks. FOLLOW THE ENCLOSED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PUT THESE ON. Great top band on the sock. It stays put with no binding or pinching. Are they worth the money over other compression stockings? For all day comfort and protection, CEP is by far the most comfortable compression sock I've ever owned. What follows is why these are such a great product:All your cells (including muscle) need oxygen and nutrients delivered to them by your blood stream, and carbon dioxide and other waste carried away by the blood flow in your veins.If this doesn’t happen, your muscles show it by feeling tired and heavy. At the end of a long day, your legs can feel tired and heavy, and even painful or sore.Standing can increase the pressure inside your leg’s veins by 10 times their normal pressure. A system of muscle action and valves in your veins help push the blood back up to the heart. But, over time, vein valves can break down or wear out. When this happens, blood flow becomes sluggish.Every cell needs oxygen and nutrients delivered, and waste and carbon dioxide carried away, and sluggish blood flow hurts this. When blood flow becomes sluggish, cells are starved for oxygen and nutrients. They begin to breakdown whatever they have on hand, and lactic acid and other waste products begin to build up. Without good venous return, these waste products are “trapped”, and your legs feel tired and heavy, and even painful at the end of the day.How do we keep good blood flow in our legs? Exercise, walking, standing, taking stairs if healthy enough, moving about. I stand almost all day at work, I run to emergencies, and climb at least 8-10 flights of stairs every day, and all around move more than sit for 8-16 hours a day as a nurse in a metropolitan hospital.As I’ve grown older in this profession, I’m a bit more tired at the end of long shifts, and it seems to take a bit longer to recover.One of our younger staff came in one day with CEP Progressive+ 2.0 stockings on her legs. She runs marathons, so I asked her if those were her “fancy running socks”. She said she wears them while training and running races, but she started wearing them at work because she isn’t as tired at the end of our long shifts when she wears them. She said, “These, I bought for work. They were on clearance.”I bought two pair. Correct sizing is vital. READ THE ENCLOSED CEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PUT THESE ON. They’ve lasted through almost three years of hard wear and tear, and I just bought three more pair.So, what do they do? They “ditch the tired”. My energy level stays up for the entire shift: no matter how rigorous. They support my feet with padding in all the right places, and support my plantar fascia (getting rid of the heel pain I was having from the concrete hospital floors). The fit is so specific, they are labeled with right and left feet to put the correct support across the insole and outsides of each foot. It’s reduced the stress along the plantar parts of my feet.The compression is “graduated” and “zoned” across different parts of my shins and calves. The muscles and muscle insertion points along my “shin-bones” are stabilized. No shinsplints.The circulation (arteries delivering oxygen and nutrients, and veins carrying away waste and carbon dioxide) is really improved. The sludge doesn’t have an opportunity to build up. My legs aren’t tired and heavy in the evenings.I have more energy to do things when I get home: walk the dogs, help kids with homework, enjoy time with my family all around. I’ve stopped being achy and tired at the end of long shifts.

Good product just too expensive. I would like to have more pairs of these but they cost too much. I would also like this type of product to have an SPF factor to protect my skin from sun damage. I was told by the manufacturer to wash as soon as possible after the socks come in contact with sunscreen. This isn't possible if at a tennis camp or other activity away from home.

The socks were very tight and hard to get on, this is probably my fault as I am 79 and not as agile or strong as when in my youth. I wish there was a easy way to put these on!

These are awesome! and they come in the right color. Long wear. Need them for my blood clots and can really tell the difference when I take them off. highly recommend them for anyone on their feet, or sitting a lot.

I love these! The compression is spot on, the padding is just right, and they are super comfortable.

We purchased these socks because of blood clots in my husbands legs. They work wonderfully for this purpose and he is very satisfied. The shipment was received at the scheduled time.

Good fit, stayed up all day. I use them for cycling, bright color

Great product. These are hands-down the best compression socks I have ever owned.

Lange habe ich mich gegen die "bunten Angeberstrümpfe" zur Wehr gesetzt.Nachdem ich aber von Laufkollegen immer nur Gutes über die Strümpfe gehört hatte, dachte ich mir: Naja, warum nicht mal testen.Als ich mich dann um den Kauf der Strümpfe gekümmert habe, bin ich in Anbetracht des -nicht ganz niedrigen- Preises zunächst einmal umgefallen. Glücklicherweise gibt es ja aber immer mal wieder günstige Angebote und bei einem solchen konnte ich dann zuschlagen. Das erste Anziehen gestaltete sich etwas schwierig, aber bei Befolgen der Anleitung geht das schon beim zweiten Mal richtig einfach. Die Strümpfe sitzen super. Beim ersten Lauf musste ich dann feststellen: Angeberstrümpfe? - Nein!!! Rein subjektiv ist das Laufen wesentlich entspannter. Es fühlt sich irgendwie "leichter" an. Auch habe ich den Eindruck, dass die Regeneration nach dem Lauf weniger Zeit in Anspruch nimmt. Auf jeden Fall habe ich inzwischen vier Paar und mache eigentlich keinen Lauf mehr ohne. Bei der Haltbarkeit konnte ich bisher auch keine großartige Abnutzung feststellen. Die Dinger sind auf jeden Fall jeden Cent wert.

Mein Mann läuft bereits seit langer Zeit mit diesen Kompressionsstrümpfen und wollte ein weiteres Paar haben. Habe sie bei Amazon zu einem unschlagbar günstigen Preis gefunden und sofort bestellt. Preis/Leistung sind spitze. Unbedingte Empfehlung. Über die Trageeigenschaft ist in den vorangegangenen Rezensionen ausführlich berichtet worden, denen stimme ich voll zu.

Ich laufe sehr viel und verspüre ab und zu mal das Phänomen der müden Beine.Also habe ich mir die Kompressiononsstrümpfe bestellt, auch bei langen Flugreisen sehr zu empfehlen.Ich fühle mich beim Sport etwas besser und danach fühlen sich die Beine sehr toll an.Hilft wirklich und die Farbe ist toll, leider nicht ganz billig

Finde die Socken sehr schön,, hab sie mir wegen der Farbe gekauft, die passen zu meinem Trikot. Ich hatte schonmal CEP Socken , diese haben mich ca 4 Jahre begleitet und vielleicht kommt es mir nur so vor, aber die Socken hier sind nicht sooo eng geschnitten. Jedenfalls erföllen sie ihren Zweck und machen einen schlanke Linie :-)

Produkt gut verpackt erhalten,ausgepackt und los gelaufen.Leider nach zweimaligen Gebrauch an einem Knöchel ein Loch entstanden, dies war aber vermutlich ein Materialfehler.Mit den Produkten von CEP bin ich grundsätzlich sehr zufrieden.
