Zensah Compression Socks Review and GIVEAWAY!

Disclaimer: I won this pair of Zensah Compression Socks. I received no other compensation. All opinions in the post below are mine and mine alone!

A few months ago I was the lucky winner of a pair of Zensah Argyle Compression Socks from Karen at Just Me and My Running Shoes! When they came I immediately tore open the package and put them on! Aaahhh! They felt so awesome!


I love compression socks but these were the most comfy ones I had ever put on! A lot of times the band at the top of compression socks hurts me but these didn't do that. They were also so soft and felt very sturdy.

A few days later we left to go on vacation to Disney World. I was doing the run streak at the time and my legs were super tired and I even had a few shin splints coming on. I grabbed these compression socks last minute as we were heading out the door and wore them the entire 8 hour drive to Disney.


Guess what? No more shin splints! I couldn't believe it! These socks were like magic!!!

So what makes Zensah Compression Socks so special? I love that their name comes from the word "SENZA" meaning "without." They believe their athletes should be "without limits."

This is what sets Zensah apart according to their website:

Zensah® was the first to develop high performance sports apparel. We use the finest yarns which provide the most performance, but don't give up comfort. For those of you who have experienced chafing with the other brands you know what we are talking about.
All of our products are created with state of the art computers and Italian machinery. There is no child labor in our factories. We let the computers and the machines do all the precision engineering. Zensah® seamless technology is cutting edge and very different than what you will find in the big box sports stores.
Zensah® provides athletes with the most comfortable experience.
  • Seamless construction - Eliminates Chafing
  • Zensah® Silver Ions- Reduces bacteria growth & Takes Away the Stink
  • Soft Hand - Most comfortable workout you will ever have
  • Pinpoint compression- Provides compression where you need it
  • Moisture Wicking- Faster than the other guys
I will say that I have worn these compression socks so much lately! I haven't yet run in them because it's been way too hot for that but I know this winter they will be perfect! The recovery aspect is amazing! Any little ache or pain I feel in my legs goes away once I wear these for a little while.

And they are perfect for lazing around on a Saturday afternoon while you watch your favorite tv show! ;-)


Because I love these socks so much I contacted them to see if they would be willing to offer a giveaway to my readers...because you MUST try these! They were very happy to offer a giveaway for not one, not two, but THREE winners! Each winner will receive a pair of Zensah Compression Socks of their choosing!

Enter below for your chance to win (please follow all the guidelines...I will be checking)! Good luck!!!

Pro Compression Marathon Sock Review and Giveaway!

I told you this would be a week of giveaways!!! I'm getting you ready for Christmas! ;-)

Compression socks seem to be the craze these days. But what's the big deal? Does compression really work? Does it help?

Here are some benefits of compression socks:

  • Improves circulation
  • Supports your muscles and ligaments
  • Aids in recovery by flushing out the lactic acid in your muscles
  • And they are soooo cute!!! (my opinion of course!)

I have been wearing knee high socks while running for a long time. But I really wanted to try some socks that were real compression. Eric at Pro Compression told me their marathon sock would really help me during marathon training! He sent me two pairs to try!


I could not wait to try them! But I wanted to test them out on a really long run. The first run I wore them on was a 16 mile run. These socks were a lot tighter than my normal knee high socks and it took me a minute to get them just right on my legs. But they felt great!



My 16 mile run was awesome! I think the compression socks helped with that! But I also wanted to test them after a long run. So I came home and showered and then put on the second pair. I wore them all day! And my legs felt great!


You know that achy feeling you get in your legs after a long run? Well that feeling wasn't there. And I had just ran 16 miles!

I also wore them for my 18 mile run...before and after! And it was the same awesomeness!


I am definitely a fan of Pro Compression!!! And I really like that their socks come in so many different colors: black, pink, red, purple, orange, lime, white, baby blue argyle, pink argyle, and khaki argyle! A girl has to have options!!!! ;-)

And right now for Christmas they have the Limited Edition Marathon Holiday sock!!! Soooo cute!!!! You can save 40% and get free shipping on this sock with the code SOM12!


I believe these socks are a must have for any runner! YOU need a pair and the awesome Eric at Pro Compression wants to make that happen! All you have to do is enter!!! :-)
