[pct-l] Compression Socks?

[Dan Engleman]

I strained one of my calf muscles on my 2011 thru.  I met a man who owns a shoe store in Bend (an ultramarathoner) and he talked to me about the compression socks and so I purchased a pair that covered my lower leg from above my ankle to below the knee; they made a big difference in my abilty to finish the trail.  I'd carry compression socks again.

Does anyone have experience hiking in runner's compression socks? I tried some on the other day while trying on shoes and they feel amazing. My feet felt like they were getting hit with a cool breeze just sitting in the store. It seems like they would help with swelling too.
