"I'm planning on buying a second pair so I don't wear them out as fast. "Bob1326

(3)

Ease of installation

The ankles are obviously small to maintain compression, but if you have weird ankles like me, it makes it tough to get them on. I busted a few stitches around the ankle getting them on.

(4)

Ease of use

I love them. I have terrible circulation and I noticed an immediate improvement in my run. The first Sprint I used them, I ran a PR on the 5K.

(3)

Quality of Construction

The busted stitches around the ankle bug me, but all in all they are OK.

(4)

Fit

They are snug without being constricting.

(4)

Comfort

I feel great with them on. My calves and ankles don't tighten up, and I don't fatigue nearly as fast.

(5)

Value

I think they were worth every penny.

(5)

Appearance

I actually like the look. I grew up playing soccer and love the tall socks.

(5)

Performance

A PR on a 5K the first time out kinda speaks for itself.

Strengths

Results!, Comfort, even appearance.

Weakness

Just the issues with the stitching around the ankles, but I think this is more a result of my bone structure and not any design flaw.
