"My calves have been tightening up on runs and just generally giving me sh*t for months. Recently, my ankles started swelling, too. It's been a fun Summer! You can see why I jumped at the chance to try these Dr. Motion Mild Compression Knee-High Socks ($8). I've been wearing them on runs, and though they haven't loosened my tight calves overnight (I'm going to need a lot of yoga and/or a new pair of running shoes to get to that point), I could've cried at how well they relieved my swelling. The stockings also helped the blood flow in my legs, which helped them stay energized and warm (so to speak) when I took breaks." — MR
