Engineered with medical-grade, graduated compression, they improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and support muscles to help you run stronger and recover faster. These socks help prevent shin splints and calf cramping during activity while flushing out lactic acid to reduce soreness.

Great socks!

"CEP tall running are the best fitting, best compression, and best looking of any compression running socks!"

— Blaine B. (5/5)

CEP Compression socks

"The CEP Compression socks are excellent quality. I've used them for several years now. It takes a little while to get used to them, especially when they're new. You don't slip them on like normal socks. You put them on a little at a time. The benefits are they don't slip, you don't fatigue as easy, and better blood flow. I wear them all day to work and to exercise. They are very expensive, especially the knee high socks. I appreciate the flash deal I got with Expertvoice immensely!"

— Britt L. (5/5)

Life long compression needs

"It feels like I've tried every brand when it comes to knee high compression, and most Ive experienced have had more cons then pros. On a whim, at the recommendation from Duluth trading company (who no longer makes a knee high compression socks) I ordered these socks. The compression is consistent, they're light weight and comfortable, and the toe box doesn't hurt your toes. So far these are the most comfortable to wear 12+ hours a day. I'll be wearing compression for the rest of my life, glad I found something that has more pros then any others."

Lightest weight most comfortable compression sock I ever had

"Lightest weight most comfortable compression sock I ever had. I do not like medium or heavy weight socks as they seem to retain too much heat during activity - running/jogging/working out, etc. I would make sure you watch their video regarding putting these socks on and read the instruction on how to properly care for them. If you do not follow these instructions, they will eventually become elongated (start going over the knee/stretch) and the threads will begin to come apart."

These are my everyday socks

"These are my everyday socks for work. I work patrol and they help with blood flow on those days your stuck in your unit or the office a lot."

— Andrew C. (5/5)

Excellent for tall women

"I tried these in the women's size and they were slightly too short, so I thought I'd give the men's version a go. Turns out they're the perfect length. I chose the same size (III) and the foot of the sock fit just as well. A nice light version for summer days."

— Ashley C. (5/5)
