CEP vs Pro Compression

[libbygrl109]

Does anyone notice a difference between the two? I've noticed that when I put on my CEP socks, my legs get very happy, but when I tried the PC sleeves, it feels like they're getting strangled. When I ran with the sleeves the other day, I actually had to take them off after about .25mi because my calves kept cramping up. Did I get the wrong size? I went by the measurement guide on the website.

I have no idea, but I (occasionally) run in CEP sleeves and (occasionally) recover in PRO socks. Maybe your feet just don't like being so bunched up? CEP is definitely more snug. It's a weird/new feeling and which is why I won't even attempt running in full compression socks.

Actually, I've done worse in the sleeves. That's what's got me puzzled.

For a month or 2, my calves would cramp up for the entire first mile when I wore my CEP calf sleeves. Now they don't do that at all. I've never tried compression socks, but maybe you just need some time to adjust to the sleeves?

I have a pair of PC socks and I like them well enough. Never had an issues with them. My mom got me 2 pairs of compression socks for my birthday and I don't know what brand they are. But I like them better than my PC socks. I'll have to find out.

My H tried CEP sleeves and had such awful cramping while running in them, he just gave them to my brother to try.
