PRO Compression is a local company – headquartered right down the street from me in Carlsbad – that was born of a runner/golfer’s desire to introduce superior compression socks to ALL outdoor athletes and everyday people.
When I started on my running journey a little over a year and a half ago, I had no idea what compression gear was. When I saw folks wearing compression sleeves or socks I just thought it was a “cool” way to keep warm or to add to a costume [my first half marathon was the 2012 Disneyland Half Marathon {FULL RECAP HERE}, and a lot of folks dress up for the AWESOME runDisney events, so I am sure you can understand my assumption]. Little did I know what a great benefit compression gear can be.
Once I got my first pair of PRO Compression Marathon Socks I started wearing them after my long runs (I would say over 10 or 12 miles). I felt that they really helped me in my recovery process – helped the blood flow so that my muscles weren’t as sore, limited the amount of swelling in my feet and ankles after pounding the pavement for the extended period of time, and seemed to speed up my recovery time.
Lately I have actually worn my PRO Compression Marathon Socks in a couple of my races (originally because I thought they ‘went with my outfit’, but more recently because I have felt the positive effects DURING my races, not just afterwards for recovery).
I have been suffering from slight shin pain in my right shin (only when I try to go faster than my normal pace though) and it has been suggested to wear my PRO Compression socks to see if that helps alleviate the pain. I am looking forward to testing it out (and of course reporting back my findings :) )!
The AWESOME folks over at PRO Compression were gracious enough to offer a FREE PAIR OF MARATHON COMPRESSION SOCKS as a GIVEAWAY!! Make sure to enter below (there are even some options that you can do DAILY for additional entries).

I love @procompression socks! I wear them even when I run 5Ks!
ORANGE!
Looks like these would be awesome to try!
They look super cute & comfy!
I'd pick the baby blue.
I would choose yellow! I'm dressing up as Belle for the Princess race at Disney in February and those socks would complete the look!
I have been meaning to order a pair for awhile now. Really need to order (or maybe win) some
Yippee! These are my favorite compression socks :) So many fun colors too!
I love these socks. I already have purple and pink ones! I think I would get black ones to go more with everything!
I've been curious lately about compression socks. Too bad they don't make ones that would alleviate my IT band problems.
SO hard to choose a color. Thinking black (but that's so boring, I'd probably go with something much brighter).
thank you for your review. I've been thinking about trying out compression socks recently. So many runners swear by them.
I'm partial to pink.
(I don't see my original comment, so this may be a duplicate. sorry)

I bought my first pair of Pro Compression socks at the Disneyland expo and love them! I bought the neon yellow w/hot pink swirls so I think this time I would go for argyle or black so that I don't stand out quite so much around my neighborhood. ;)
I would probably be the most boring-est runner ever and go with the black ones. Since I would use them for recovery more I would end up wearing them to work as a business sock.
I love Pro Compression! I would go with the swirls, or maybe just yellow or pink :)
I'd probably go pink!
I need black ones!
