A couple of weeks back I got an email with a deal to purchase a pair of Zensah compression socks at 50% off. The deal was through a Groupon-like website called Schwaggle by Active.com. The compression socks retail for $49.99, so for $25, this was a great deal.
I have been wearing the Zensah compression leg sleeves for a couple of years and have been going back & forth on trying the socks out for a while. My feet are very persnickety when it comes to footwear of all sorts ever since I first suffered from plantar fasciitis in May 2010. I can only tolerate certain socks and wearing any shoes other than my running shoes is hard, though I did finally find a pair of shoes to wear while running errands that work for me (I’ll share those at a later date).
Once I decided to go for it, I couldn’t decide which color to buy. I loved the hot pink & the argyle, but I ended up settling on the hot pink.
Sassy, right?
Normally I run at the gym at 5 AM, but couldn’t help but put on my new socks & hit the road Wednesday after I got these in the mail. Who needs rest days, right? I am thrilled with these socks! They give just enough support without being too tight. My feet are comfortable and even receive a bit of support in the arches, which I can definitely use having high arches.
I have run 2 shorter runs and a 6 mile hilly run since getting these and can’t say enough good things about them. Last week when I ran hills, my plantar fasciitis was starting to bother me part of the way through my run (only 4.5 miles that day); I didn’t have any issues this week at all. The trail was full of gravel and uneven surfaces, which is normally a sure way to irritate my feet. I have had these socks on all day today (during & after my run) and may never take them off.
Check out how the socks are labeled to make sure you wear them on the right feet:
I do have 2 small complaints about these socks.
1 – Seams by the toes. While they haven’t been overly bothersome, I can see how they may be if they aren’t positioned just right.
2 – They seem to be pilling a bit on the tops of my toes. While this may be from usage and rubbing inside of my shoe, for the amount of money these cost, I sure hope they hold up seeing as I have only worn them 3 times.
