Happy Friday and happy 1st day of April. I’m in an extra good mood today because…IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!
Today Iām participating in the Friday Five link up with Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, Mar from Mar on the Run and Cynthia from You Signed Up For What?!.
Fitness is the theme this week, so I’m focusing on 5 reasons why I love Pro Compression socks…and in honor of my birthday, I’m hosting a giveaway!
Compression – One word. Compression! I’ve been wearing Pro Compression socks for a few years and they have really helped with my recovery time after long runs. Also these compression socks help increase blood flow, are moisture wicking and have advances cushioning in the foot.
Colors/Patterns – Umm…have you seen their selection?! Not only do they have tons of solid colors, but their patterns are on point! They also release a new sock every month (sometimes holiday themed) so you always have opportunities to add to your sock collection!
Variety – Pro Compression has something for everyone. The over-the-calf marathon socks are great for recovery or for running long distances. The trainer lows are great for every day workouts and cross training. The mid socks are a great cross between the over-the-calf socks and the trainer lows, and also so cute! Pro Compression also sells calf sleeves, arm sleeves and compression tights!
Discounts – Pro Compression ALWAYS has a discount code that you can use to save at least 40% off of their socks. If you haven’t done so already, sign up for their newsletter (scroll down to the bottom of the homepage) so you can get the most recent discount code (hint hint, they will probably send out an email today!)
Made in America – Pro Compression socks are made in the U.S.A! I’m all about supporting companies that keep jobs in this country.

This giveaway will end on April 8th. GOOD LUCK!!
Julie Robinson says
Great giveaway! I love wearing long socks and I recently found this group of runners on Instagram that all wear them among other things. I’m very tall 6’2″ so I’m always looking for a great sock to cover my legs. I’ve been eyeballing the pro compression socks for awhile now. If I had to pick a pair….I really like the simple black marathon sock or even the colorful marathon lavender.
kookyrunner says
Pro Compression is really awesome and I’m so glad that you found them on social media! The marathon lavender is an excellent choice!!
PavementRunner says
Yay

Smitha @ Running with SD Mom says

I love all their stuff, especially the calf sleeves. The more colorful, the better!! I wear compression for some of my long runs (10K and longer) and almost always wear them for recovery (much less swelling, etc.)
kookyrunner says
I totally agree – I know that wearing the socks, and calf sleeves, helps reduce my swelling and soreness

I love ProCompression but don’t have any of the trainers…and I need some!! š Mostly for running costume purposes but also shorter runs. I wear my marathon socks usually for anything over 10K but need some trainers for shorter distances sometimes!
kookyrunner says
The trainer lows are great for every day workouts – boot camp, weight training, etc.

Love orange marathon boom or black! Would also like to try the elite with padding… I love procompression!! My fave brand out of all of the compression socks/sleeves I have tried… And I’ve tried quite a few!
kookyrunner says
My next purchase will be the Elites! I think I’ll really like the extra padding š

kookyrunner says
I have the low trainers in both those colors. I love them because they match any gym outfit š
Amanda C. says
Happy belated birthday! I haven’t tried PRO compression yet but use CEP. Would love to try the marathon elite sock (maybe in Boston colors?!). Thanks for the review.
kookyrunner says
Thans Amanda! I have heard a lot of good things about the Marathon Elite socks (I still need to buy a pair)!
Caroline says
I’ve only tried the sleeves, but would love to give the full sock a whirl. Which do you prefer (and why?)
kookyrunner says
I prefer the socks for longer runs and I like the calf sleeves to wear underneath my work clothes. I like that I can wear the sleeves under my dress slacks, especially the day after a race!
Debbie F says
Haha normally I don’t like bright colors but these socks are so loud and cute I’d wear them š
I’d love to get the Marathon, Boston 2016 socks – at least I’d be seen from miles away and not in danger of getting hit by a car.
thanks!
kookyrunner says
Yes bright socks are their speciality, but I love bright colors so I’m all about it! But you are right, they are great for running around town, cars and people will see you!
Rhett says
Love my black pair, but think it would be fun to get something colorful too!
kookyrunner says
Bright colors make running more fun! š
Melorie Poteat says
I have not tried this brand yet. I am looking for a good one as I will start marathon training later this year.
kookyrunner says
This is a great brand and it will help with your marathon training as well!
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
I love ProCompression! The over the calf is my favorite, I’d love to try out a style with some stripes, like Aqua Swirl or Royal and Powder.
kookyrunner says
Those are two really cool ones that I don’t own but may need to pick up in the future!
Shiduna Townsend says
I’ve only tried compression socks once (from another brand) and they pinched my left calf terribly, so I’m somewhat leery of trying them again. If I had to choose, I would do the Purple calf sleeves.
