Run socks are used by athletes to recover after a long run. Using compression
socks helps relieve muscle soreness and pain in the legs. A study conducted in the
year 2015 suggested that runners who use compression socks had better recovery
when compared to those who wore a placebo. The runners who participated in the
study were assessed after two weeks of a marathon.

performance. A study that was conducted way back in 2011 showed that the use of
compression socks increased the leg power of the user after the endurance
exercise. But, there was no change in the user’s performance time.
