    Does anyone run with compression leg sleeves or socks while running or for recovery?  If so, what brand and do you think they help?

    I think they help quite a bit during and after the run.  They have virtually eliminated my calf pain during some of my longer runs.  It had gotten to the point where I was almost unable to go long distances because of the aching.  I would highly recommend them.  I think Zensah is a good brand to go with.  They're cheaper than 2XU or CWX, and work just as well.

    I train with skin leggins and I use Cambridge compression leggins, I always got knee pain during a run and lactic acid after a long run, (anything over 5 mile). Since I bought these my pain or acid build up has virtually gone.

    Thanks for the responses.  I ordered some Zensah leg sleeves.  I'll report back after I use them.

    My pink leg sleeves seemed to help a lot.  I didn't want to take them off, so I ordered a second pair in black.

    I bought some Skins Powersox just prior to running my first half marathon this past August.  I find they have helped tremendously in stopping shin pain and lactic acid build up in my calves.

    At the risk of being flamed, i think it is a fad...hopefully it will pass soon.
