[pct-l] Compression Socks?

[Jim & Jane Moody]

Nick, 

I bought and used a compression "sock" in Ashland last year, to help relieve the pain of a shin splint.  Mine was more like a baseball sock - a heel stirrup but did not cover the foot or toes.  I used several other treatment strategies along with the compression sock and the pain went away.  Not sure which combination of treatments was most helpful.

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.
