'morning All,

I have been wearing these all summer on my hikes/scouting trips as a base layer sock and then my normal hunting socks over them.

I am very surprised and happy with them.

Mojo brand ----------->

Anyone else gone to these type of socks?

Good luck, Robb

What style are you using? Elite, firm or moderate? Did you have any issues with them being too restrictive?

What is the benefit?

I've been a type II diabetic for about 18 years and it affects circulation. The socks go a great ways towards helping that. My doc recommended them.

racers use them for recovery all the time, very helpful during or after endurance events. could be just as beneficial for hunting activities too.

I've worn them almost every day for many years. My legs used to get so tired until my sis-in-law, a nurse, told me about them. Knee high, a little hot in Texas summers, but without them my legs swell. I do wear shorts and ankle high socks some days in summer if I'm working outside in the heat, and I sweat enough to compensate. In winter, if it gets very cold, a good wool blend goes right over them and my feet stay warm, but we don't have many cold days here.

Mine are the medium as I didn't want to tight nor to loose so I went medium. They come just below my knees.

They really have helped with almost no more cramping in my sleep (even though I do phosphate/magnesium pills and eat a banana) and I haven't had a blister since last year!!

Groupon has them on sale every now and then so I get a few more now and then.

Good luck, Robb

I don't wear them during the hunt but sliding them on in the evening for an hour before bed gives great relief to sore legs/feet.
