Zensah Compression Socks = LOVE!

I love wearing compression socks on the trails. They are comfortable, I love the foot support, I love that they protect my legs from poison oak and ticks, and I also love them if they're cute. I also like wearing them if I'm running through snow, or on those days it seems too warm for tights/capris, and too cold for shorts. I reviewed the CW-X compression socks last December, and although I initially fell in love with them, I was soon sorely disappointed because they didn't last very long. Both toes had holes very soon after my first run with them, and then they snagged on some bushes (or something) during a trail run shortly after that. Then they just looked dress socks gone ghetto.

My new favorite compression socks are made by Zensah. These are in the "men's" section online, but really they're obviously unisex (pink anyone?) and fit perfectly. I have the small size. And of course I have pink. The Zensah's are MUCH preferred over CW-X because the material is more well made and after a 100 mile race, they were very much in-tact. They are insanely comfortable, tight, lightweight, and I LOVE the way they look. I'd originally wanted a pair of calf sleeves to try, but now I think I may just purchase a pair of these in each color. If you like compression socks but experienced some of the same issues I was with the CW-X, then I highly recommend the Zensah's.

Happy Friday, everyone!!
