I am Dave Walters and have run over 110.000 miles during the past 38 years. I started wearing Recovery Socks a year and a half ago and they have made a remarkable difference in my running and recovery. As you can imagine - that many miles has put a strain on my lower legs and I am always looking for ways to reduce that. The cushioning in the Recovery Sock running sock is excellent and the Recovery Sock compression sock has helped dramatically in post run recovery. In fact I have started to train and race in the Recovery Sock's compression socks as well.
I finished the 2008 New Yorlk City Marathon in 2 hours 43 minutes while wearing the Recovery Sock compression sock. I felt strong throughout the race and especially over the last 6 miles. I was closer to my main age group competition that I had previously been. My lower leg recovery has been phenomenal. Normally my calves are very stiff after a marathon - not this time! Anyone wanting to boost their performance or speed their workout recovery should be using them. Recovery Sock is not the sole manifacturer - there are a number of them that cater to athletes. Recovery Sock's vantage is that it's compression socks incorporate a Graduated Compression design that enhances and stimulates circulation in the lower leg - making it a superior sock. Other socks do not differentiate pressure from bottom to top which provides limited benefit and can actually be counterproductive. Recovery Sock's running and recovery socks can help anyone looking for boost in performance!
