Compression for recovery is amazing!

I *heart* my Zoot Rx Recovery tights but they are not only pricey, but a PITA to put on. So much so...that I only wear them when absolutely necessary. Like Oak, I have a pair of 20-30 mm Hg Futuro 'socks' from Walgreens. I wear these after almost every run and they work just as well (for my calves - they don't go above my knees). As long as your garment is high compression and graduated, it should help.
