If you are looking for the full benefits of compression such as shin splint relief, reduced cramping, increase in circulation, and reduced swelling, we recommend a knee-length sock such as our Tech+ socks. We have many other innovative crew-length, ankle-length, and no-show socks that offer different benefits such as blister protection and arch support, while also offering different levels of padding for those looking to pair a great running sock with their leg sleeves.
