I've seen Mikitenko, Paula, Tune, etc wearing compression hose during marathons.
Why do men not wear them?
I own 2 pair of Oxy socks, and could never figure out why they worked. They were just hot and uncomfortable.

They don't work hence the reason the largest % of those wearing them are triathletes who walk between 4-6 hours in an Ironman. Compression garments are critical for these athletes!
My fastest IM 'thon was a 3:34 and I did not use compression socks. I have a pair now and I wear them around the house and to work. I have no idea if they provide any tangible benefit, but they are very comfortable for me.
