Sport & Running
Compression socks for running, training and recovery days - supported calves mile after mile, from parkrun to marathon.
About our sport & running
Ask a room of runners about compression socks for running and you will get a room of opinions - but the ones who wear them tend to keep wearing them. The appeal is simple: a snug, graduated fit that supports your calves through the miles and feels great when the legs are working hard. Our runners compression socks are built for British conditions - breathable zones for summer 10ks, cushioned soles for winter pavement plods, and a locked-in fit that will not slide down at mile nine. Compression socks for calves come as full socks or footless calf sleeves, so you can pair sleeves with your favourite racing socks. Off the road, compression socks for sport earn their keep in the gym, on the bike, on long hikes and on easy recovery days when your legs want comfort more than pace. Sizes up to wide-calf, free UK delivery over £20, money-back guarantee on every pair.
Sport & Running - FAQs
Should I run in compression socks or wear them after?
Both are popular. Some runners love the supported, locked-in feel during a run; others save them for the sofa afterwards as comfy recovery-day wear. Try both and see which your legs prefer.
Socks or calf sleeves - what is the difference?
Sleeves are footless, so you can wear your usual running socks underneath and get calf support on top. Full socks give you the cushioned sole and seam-free toe as well. Racers often keep both.
Will they stay up on a long run?
Yes - the graduated knit grips gently up the calf, so there is no elastic tourniquet at the top and no sliding down at mile nine.
