After much research. I splurged on a pair of compression running socks. I encourage anyone to research them.
Because of my roller derby accident I was already experiencing ankle issues on my second week of training. I did some research and found that these compression socks can help with ankle problems, shin splints etc.
I decided to purchase the CEP compression running socks. http://www.cepcompression.com/
And I'll have to say, I was a little skeptical, especially for 40 bucks! But I could tell the difference immediately. First of all, when I purchased them I was concerned about how these things are going to fit. I mean, "compression" doesn't sound that comfortable when you are running. Also, I have huge calf circumference. I get compliments on them often, but trust me, it's not by my doing, I was blessed with muscular legs. I was pleased to find that they offered several different sizes, depending on calf circumference. Anyways, long story, short. I forgot I even had the socks on! Then, half way through my run I was like "why am I doing so much better today?" Then it hit me. It has to be the socks. This is my review after wearing them on one run. Check them out for yourself.
