Customer Reviews CW-X Compression Support Socks

Warning! These socks are pictured as though the entire sock is all black. When they arrived, I was shocked to see a large white label CW-X going up the outside leg on both socks.

As an avid sports competitor. I am training about 6 days a week majority of it requires a great deal of running and cross training. I started feeling a constant tightness in my calves. After week of trying everything I was fed up and sore, and read about compression support socks and figured I would give them a try at one of my training sessions and sure enough after my first use of the CW-X Compression Support Socks the pain in my calves subsided. I swear by them now for soreness and use them while training once or twice a week and have no more problems with soreness.

I purchased these for skiing. The size is true to fit. Feel so comfortable and supportive and they do not fall down.

These socks are well constructed and seem to be holding up well after a few wash/drying cycles. They offer good cushioning in the right spots and wick away moisture so they have the baseline running sock requirements covered. I wouldn’t say they make me run any faster or run longer, but I can tell when I wear these socks during a run and continue wearing for about 20-30 minutes after the run, that my legs feel less fatigued or "banged up". I have noticed a reduction in calf soreness and shin splint related pain. I would say the "lateral support" claims of these socks would be a little bit of a stretch from reality. I didn’t buy into that claim anyway, but all the other advertised benefits seem to be true. Good product and cheaper than C.E.P. brand socks.

Very tight and supportive. I might not sleep in them (a little too tight to be comfortable for more than a couple of hours), but they help during runs and immediately after for recovery.

I must be too short for them (5'2"). I cannot stretch them up completely so they feel better if I fold down the top. Whether folded down or not the top elastic is too tight and hurts, leaving a red, achy mark, after my 12 hour RN shift. Otherwise, I would like them. They have certainly held up after many washings.

A pretty good compression sock. I wear it around the house after long runs. I\'m sure you could run in it as well, but I do not run in compression socks. Fits true to size.

These are great for recovery in working out. However, they are a bit on the tight side. I would go one size up if anything. I wear between a 7.5 and 8 and these were a bit tight for me. However, they really do help in recovery from working out! Awesome!

I must have skinny calves because I do not find these tight at all. Foot bed sizing is fine. Maybe since they are unisex sizing it allows more for a man's calf. Nice socks, but not sure they are going to give me the support I was looking for.

These are interesting, but I do not believe the product does what it claims. I wear medical compression wear and these are the same. I do not think they are properly graduated.

I didn't like these at all. When I put them on, they looked like old-man socks. Not sure the socks made me perform better or ease pain. I run just as well without them.

You can wear them with your running shoes or your suit, great socks for these old legs!

Expensive, but worth it. After pulling my left calf during workouts, my trainer recommend these socks. Wear them for all my workouts.

These were exactly what I had expected based on Zappos' site information. I work 12 hour shifts and these socks are amazing.

I have been running for a moderate amount of time and never thought that technical gear such as this would help all that much. After running a half marathon my legs were in agony for days. I started looking into compression gear and decided I would try these socks. I will never go back. These socks do everything they say they do. I never run without them. They keep my legs feeling great no matter how far I run. A must have for serious runners! CW-X makes incredible items. Looking forward to purchasing more soon.

Received the socks and when the recipient (Xmas gift) opened the package there was a hole about the size of a small finger near the top of one sock. Called Zappos. They were very helpful and as they were now out of stock and I was in Canada and had the sock delivered to a hotel on a visit to the US they credited my credit card without even returning the defective socks. Excellent customer service. Product rating irrelevant as item defective and not worn.
