Spun Performance Compression Socks and Giveaway

 I was given the opportunity to try out a pair of Spun Performance Apparel Compression socks.  Because I am on a bit of a green kick I chose the Nano Green color.  Not sure I would call them green except for the stitching on the feet and around the ankles, I would call it awesomely bright neon yellow.

  So far I have worn them

•  to work once, since I am on my feet all day at work I like to wear compression socks to work
• on three runs varying between 8 and 14 miles
• spent time in them for recovery

Impressions

• the band and the top is wide so it never pinches or becomes uncomfortable
• seems lighter weight than some of my other compression socks so might be great for summer distance running.
• never have felt uncomfortable
• feels like a  perfect amount of compression
• no complaints
• Nobody will miss seeing me on the road in these..really

I recently got a pair of compression socks that were one size fits all... luckily they fit me, Spun Performance bases theirs off of shoe size and calf circumference which I like a lot more.  I went off my calf circumference for these and got a size smaller than I would have if I went by shoe size and was very very happy with my decision to go with a size small. Even though they looked short when I first got them they come up to a perfect height below my knees.

I think my skirt is telling me to lay off the Starburst jellybeans...oops

They also come in black, white, pink and grey.  You can see the colors here.

How did Spun Apparel come up with their name?

No matter what the sport is, there is almost always something spinning. In Olympic Weightlifting, a barbell is spun as a lifter drops down to catch a heavy snatch. In softball, a pitcher spins the ball to get it to rise. In soccer, a ball is spun to bend it around a defender. Even a runner's legs resemble a locomotive as it starts spinning to get up to speed.
 

You can read more about their company here.  They also have compression shirts, shorts, and tights and extremely reasonable prices.

Why so reasonable?  They don't sell through retail locations so there is no markup and they don't pay athletes to wear their gear.
