Compression socks - yea or nay?
Runninwild was reading an article from Runners World about the use of compression socks. The author says he uses them postruns and he likes the 'squeezy' feel of them and that it kind of feels like a leg massage. Has anybody out there tried them and what are your thoughts?

who needs stinking compression socks when you are racing in Perl Izumi's...... heheheeeee.... I prefer orthopedic knee high socks with yellow stripes. there stylish and very ooooooohhhh....... so nice and tight.......... ok seriously, I think compression socks help with minor swelling, but so does, rotating between elevating your legs and soaking your feet in a cooler full of ice cold Black Butte Porter. if elevating and soaking doesn't work, then just stick to drinking a Black Butte Porter, it tastes a lot better and for us members of RPS the swelling never really goes away we just keep on running 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
