those of you who run with and without (compression) leggings, what differences do you notice? (feddit.de)

do you also notice differences if you use ½ lengths or compression shorts?

I've run ultras in the past and i honestly found wearing then down around my ankles and only pulling them up for brief recovery walks or after any race felt way better to me.

To clarify, i was talking about calf sleeves. I've never noticed a diff between shorts vs leggings.

I have some that are full socks that I've used during Yamacraw (50k) partially for the compression, partially to help keep crap out of my socks :)

The first half of that has a number of water crossings, and usually I'll swap into a second set of dry socks/shoes at my drop bag.

I have also worn the calf sleeves the next day after a big run for recovery also.

Oh man i used to have a pair of knee high compression toe socks from Injin(?) and i loved those things. Totally forgot about those.

I believe mine are 2XU. They're hard as hell to get on / off :)

Mine were as well. I used to play soccer so i didn't really have the typical runners calves so they were tight as hell on me which is probably why i never enjoyed running in them for longer distances.

I too am a fellow large calved ex soccer player / bicycle rider
