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

What keeps you going?
I would like to be a world champion and Olympian, I love winning and running with great people, running is my dream.

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 just wanted to email you and thank you for letting me sample the CEP compression socks.  First off, the pink rocks!  I get so many different responses from women (and men too):  all good!  Secondly, they are amazing!  The compression in them is unreal and I can't even pinch material when they are on.  Finally, I have been wearing them mtn. biking with my girls group "dirt chix" and they all want a pair!  I most likely will be going Wayne at Runners Sole in Kamloops to put a  big order in. 
PS:  I am also looking at getting another pair for my work (I work in the Operating Room on hard concrete floors).  Chris, I will promote your product 100% because they have helped me with my recovery and my plantar fasciitis has not flared up since wearing the socks.

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 benefits of compression socks on the lower limb are well documented to improve venous return and therefore enhance the efficiency of the circulatory system. For the athlete, especially the endurance athlete, improved circulation means better performance when used during activity, and improves recovery if used after training or racing. Compression should also be considered standard issue for any athlete flying to their race. Pressure changes as well as static sitting on planes is hard on the venous system and is not what you need just days prior to a big race. 

Personally I run, hike and bike in compression socks. I was excited to find such an excellent sport product (in CEP) with 20-30mmHg compression at the ankle. Finally and possibly most important they wash easy, over and over, no problem.
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. 

Ian MacAusland – Berg, Regina, SK

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.

Donna Buckley, Kamloops, B.C.

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.

Hi Chris, it was a pleasure meeting you at the Around The Bay event on Saturday. I purchased a pair of the CEP socks from you with the hope of these helping the shin splints I had developed following a half marathon I ran 2 weeks before. I must say I was skeptical, especially when I reflected on the fact that I had just spent almost $100.00 on SOCKS! Well off to the ATB I went yesterday morning hoping to try and make it as a far as I could bear with the pain of my shin. When I reached the 21k mark ahead of my half marathon time from 2 weeks before by almost 20 minutes without my legs arguing with me I was amazed at how fresh they still felt. The CEP socks were well worth the investment, and I was amazed at the life my legs felt as I continued to run. Well 30k and 3.5 hours later I crossed the finish line in my first ATB run. Following the race and the next day I can honestly say my legs do not feel as sore as they did when I ran the 1/2 2 weeks prior without the CEP socks. Now I have 2 questions- 1- how do I wash these, and 2- do they come in a size that will cover my quads as well..LOL
