    Hi I was just wondering if anyone can recommend which compression socks they think are good for steady running to protect my calfs as I keep getting problems with tightness in them.

    Thanks

    You should try doing eccentric calf exercises 2x a day for a week and then do them 1x a day after every run, making sure you do them straight legged and also with your knee bent. Not only strengthens your calves but stretches them very well. Helps me a great deal with my calf issues.

    I like medical grade compression stockings. They are sized by ankle and calf girth, not shoe size. Jobst and Sigvaris make good compression stockings, some in athletics styles.
