I am the Sales Manager for CEP Compression Sportswear. Have you heard of CEP Socks before? <br /><br />We are actually owned by medi; one of the worlds leading medical compression companies. We have Run / Recover compression socks that I'd like to have you try and review for us. Every brand claims to have "Graduated" compression. Most products on the market can say this without backing it up because they're not tight enough to be medical grade. Anything below medical grade, 20mmHg, is considered over the counter and not regulated. <br /><br />In order to penetrate your deep veins and target the arteries you need a specific amount of compression. One sign to look for is when a product goes by shoe size. How does the athlete know they're getting the right amount of compression? Shoe size doesn't tell the circumference of ones leg which will determine the size range to get targeted compression. For example, I'm a size 12 shoe but have a 14.75" calf. In our competitor products I'm always a L or XL. In CEP I'm the men's smallest size. This is means I'm getting true graduated compression tuned for athletic performance.<br /><br />It's important for us to spread the truth about compression and that not all compression products match what they claim. We have a published medical study that I can send you that shows runners had 5% better performance running in our socks and used 6% less energy. That's 10-12min in a marathon! Our socks aren't just for recovery but for performance as well. That's what makes them so great. <br /><br />I would like to get you a sock and sleeve to review and possible some compression shorts in a month when they arrive from Germany. Please let me know your calf circumference, color preference and the address to send them to. Go to our website to see the socks we have. I really appreciate your time and let me know if you're willing to post a review on our products. Thanks and I'll look forward to hearing from you.<br /><br />Website: www.cepsportswear.com<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Michael Potter<br />CEP Compression<br />cepsportswear@mediusa.comCEP Compression Sockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590885233702766704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-88655818267281227142009-11-08T10:40:17.498-05:002009-11-08T10:40:17.498-05:00My favorite brand of compression sock, Sigvaris, j...My favorite brand of compression sock, Sigvaris, just came out with an Athletic Recovery Sock that I've been wearing for a week...
