You know I was expecting much sobbing from my legs on Monday following Rundle’s Revenge. And there were tears. But there was no way around it, I still had to run. (I skipped 6 a.m. Crossfit) I believe it’s always good to do a shake out run after a hard effort. Good to flush all the ugly out of your legs.
Fortunately my new compression socks from Dr. Segal’s arrived on Friday. The good folks at Dr. Segal’s sent a lovely grey and black argyle pair. Super pretty and not too flashy. I am not a fan of matchy-matchy. I knew there wouldn’t be a better time than this week to truly give these babies a run through.
On Monday afternoon I readied myself for my 8-10K shake out run. I put on my new lulu shorts and pulled on my new socks. Some compression socks are such a pain in the butt to put on and take off. I think these were easier because they are graduated compression. An awesome diagram was included in the box for those who may need a little extra help putting them on. Score one for me. No instructions needed.
I must say … they felt amazing. Not too tight and not too loose. I could feel them on my legs but they didn’t feel heavy or constricting. My legs felt fresh and I rocked a nice 8K run.
In fact, they felt so good I wanted to test them again. I wore them on Tuesday at the track – the predicted DOMS wake up call. Again my legs felt fresh and energized. Maybe the socks were lined with magic fairy dust?
In case you were wondering, I did take them off this week. I wore them again at Crossfit on Wednesday and during Thursday’s tempo run. I can’t get enough. I bet they could pass for regular socks for work.
They just felt so damn good on my poor, tired legs. I want more. I’ve tried other brands before and I don’t think my legs ever felt so good. A big plus is the ability to put them on and take them off quickly because I am a busy woman. They are also Canadian-made and not over-the-top expensive.
I’m a fan.
They work and they are really cute, bonus!
I purchased a pair the other day and really like them!
Oh-and being able to put them on without pulling a muscle in my arm is a BIG bonus.
I want to get more colours now!
I absolutely love Dr. Segal’s compression socks! They provide the perfect balance of support and comfort, making them ideal for long days on my feet or during travel. The graduated compression helps improve circulation and reduces swelling, which is a game-changer for someone like me who spends a lot of time standing or sitting. The material is breathable and durable, ensuring they stay in place without feeling too tight or restrictive. Plus, the variety of colors and styles means I can wear them with almost any outfit. Whether I’m working, exercising, or just running errands, Dr. Segal’s compression socks have become an essential part of my daily routine, keeping my legs feeling energized and pain-free
