sexy or geeky? i think we all know the answer to that one! i wore them on my hour long run this evening. they definitely helped a lot! it reduced my crampy calf to a mild dull ache that didnt show up until the last few minutes of my run. they were comfortable except my leg hair made them a bit itchy at times but even that was minor. once i shave my legs that wont be an issue. i even wore them for a while after the run to head out to run some errands but i wore pants so i wouldnt look like a total nerd! i feel they definitely helped for short term recovery. if you have any calf issues i would definitely recommend picking some up!

I had this all last year...so far this year the issue has not come back. Last year I did the compression hose but most importantly...strengthened the muscle. Gotta do the stair risers. Others:

Also, just got this yesterday to help with my Achilles/Heel area. Helps to stretch the calf also.

damn you for getting these so late in my pregnancy.. i definitely could have borrowed them to reduce some swelling of my own.
and yeah, when will you be shaving those legs? they're getting pretty scratchy under the covers! ;)
Very cool - I've got these too and LOVE them!
