Intensive prolonged bouts of exercise can result in deep muscle damage that may cause delayed onset muscle soreness, decreased range of motion, and impaired physical activity for up to 48 hours. Using external compression pressure increases tissue pressure, which decreases transmural vascular pressure (i.e., stretch of veins), resulting in relaxation of the vein. Zoot's CompressRx Socks prevent blood from "pooling" in the foot and increase blood flow to the muscles, therefore allowing greater muscle function for a longer period of time.

Katie says: "I accepted a challenge to run at least one mile every day for a month. This challenge came to me at a time I was training for my first ultra marathon. Instead of the minimal 7 miles per week I ended up averaging 40-50 miles. 2 weeks in and my calves ached with fatigue. Ice and massage would help but not enough. In my time of need I turned to Zoot's CompressRX socks. After a few hours of wearing the socks the aches and pain started to subside. The real improvement came after a few days of wear. Not only did my legs ache less they felt more refreshed and ready to face another day of running. Zoot CompressRX Socks are much more than socks; they're a necessity for high intensity and or high endurance training and racing. "
Measuring:
Accurate measurement is essential to ensure a perfect comfortable CompressRX
fit. Measurements should be taken using a tape measure around the widest part of the calf and will fit women's foot size 6.5-11. If you are between sizes choose the smaller of the sizes to ensure the compression benefits.
Athletes wearing CompressRx include triathlon World Champions Samantha McGlone and Luc Van Lierde, as well as team sports athletes from the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and several Pro cycling teams, including Team Ouch, led by Floyd Landis.
