Ellis Andrews, Penticton, BC, 2009 Ultraman World Champion (65-69)

The reason I started to wear compression sox a couple of years ago was the need to see if compression could eliminate or help to reducing calf cramping which has been a problem in marathons.  When I first wore CEP sox the difference was night & day between my former brand & CEP. Since wearing CEP I have not experienced any calf cramping while running and recover quickly.  – Ellis Andrews, Penticton, BC, Ultraman Athlete

Statement/Feedback to CEP: With CEP, I have been running faster times, by one minute in the half marathon.  I forgot my socks for the Vancouver half, and I felt a lot of pain in my gastrocnemius and soleus.  Plus I got blisters. This really slowed my time.  When I put the CEP socks back on for my other running, the pain went away.

I call them “The Magic Socks.”  My legs feel good all the time and I train and race in them.  You can feel them working.

The CEP socks are totally excellent, in fact it hold the muscle tight, so it assist me because I had a serious injury. The product is really fine, I cannot even explain, especially when you have any muscle problem, it assist so much.Personally I run, hike and bike in compression socks. I would definitely recommend CEP socks to any athlete or traveler looking to reduce injuries or pain in the lower leg, improve their performance and circulation.

The CEP socks did amazing things for my calves!  Prior to wearing CEP socks, I would have very tight and sore calves during and immediately after the race (or after any run longer than 15k) and for the next 48 hours.  - Brad, Winnipeg

Chris, I'm doing really good.  The CEP socks are unreal.  I had a lot of swelling in the foot and it was very painful. I was icing it probably 3 times a day since I could take the boot off but not much happened.  Since wearing the socks about 6-8 hrs a day I can just about see all the same veins that I have in the other foot.

I was the man who had fallen off of a ladder two years ago whose ankle was still swollen.  Well on the day of the half marathon I put on the socks without much expectations. I can't say that I'd ever write a fan letter about compression socks. There's a first for everything! They were amazing!. For the first time I ran essentially pain free for 21K. Not only that, after the race I took off the sock to find the swelling almost completely gone and my ankle bone was clearly visible. In two and a half hours of running the CEP socks accomplished what physio treatment could not do in two years. I now wear them very time I run. I thought I was a little loopy spending $90.00 for socks. They made the world of difference. They helped make running fun again.

I have had years and years of sore feet and bad knees from sports related injuries and basic wear and tear, plus genetics thrown in.   I have always dreaded going for walks and standing on my feet for long periods of time. The day after we bought the socks at your display, we got up at 5:30 a.m. to watch Ironman 2009 in Penticton.  After the first 6 hours of standing and walking around in my favorite Keehn sandals, my feet and legs were killing me! I went back to the car and decided I had nothing to lose so put on the trekking socks that I bought from you the day before. Well, the relief was instant.  And by midnight, twelve hours later, my feet and legs still felt light and pain-free like never before.
