The Run 4.0 Compression Socks and Sleeves

The Run 4.0 is CEP's most advanced compression sock and sleeve collection, evolving the best-selling 3.0 line with a redefined medical-grade compression profile, enhanced breathability, and climate-adapting technology. Engineered in Bayreuth, Germany, The Run 4.0 uses CEP's signature 3D Compression to deliver precise, targeted pressure that activates nutrient delivery to your muscles, so your legs feel stronger and lighter every mile.

3D Compression Technology in The Run 4.0

Every product in The Run 4.0 is built on CEP's 3D Compression, an advanced circular knitting process that delivers 360-degree graduated compression at 20-30 mmHg with targeted support zones. The 4.0 generation applies more precise pressure than its predecessor, boosting blood circulation and reducing the muscle vibration that leads to fatigue and shin splints.

Smart Dry Extreme Air Technology for All-Season Comfort

The Run 4.0 features Smart Dry Extreme Air Technology, a climate-adaptive system. In warm weather, the mesh-like calf structure, air channels in the footbed, and ventilation zones in the toe maximize airflow. In cooler weather, the open structure retains warmth while allowing moisture vapor to escape. HEIQ clima-management cools the skin, and a silver treatment reduces unpleasant odors and eliminates bacteria.

Targeted Support for Performance and Recovery

Graduated compression in The Run 4.0 goes beyond circulation. Deep sensory stimulation enhances proprioception, improving movement accuracy and reducing injury risk. Targeted arch and ankle compression zones relieve discomfort from plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and Achilles tendon issues. Anatomical padding absorbs shock at the heel and forefoot, while the locked-in fit prevents slippage and blisters. Recovery begins during activity thanks to accelerated removal of lactic acid, and wearing tall socks or calf sleeves post-run further reduces swelling.

Socks and Sleeves for Every Type of Run

The collection offers multiple styles in men's and women's sizing. Tall compression socks deliver full calf-to-toe 3D Compression for long runs, marathons, and recovery. Calf sleeves offer graduated lower-leg compression to pair with your preferred running socks. Mid cut socks balance support with a versatile height for daily training. Low cut and no show options suit speed work and warm weather with the same moisture-wicking fabric and odor-reducing silver treatment.

CEP Compression Heritage and What Comes Next

The Run 4.0 draws on over 70 years of medi's medical compression expertise, and every product undergoes 16 rounds of testing to ensure medical-grade compression accuracy. CEP continues to push compression technology forward with the Core Run 5.0 collection, the next generation of performance socks and sleeves built on the same German-engineered foundation.
