I have been a CEP Compression fan for years and they have been awesome to work with on the blog and at race expos. When they asked if I wanted to check out some new products and host another giveaway, I could not say “yes” fast enough. I mean, if it worked for Meb in Boston, it works for me! Mostly kidding on that… I know they work for me.
You may remember that I tried the Dynamic+ Short Socks last summer. I originally said “In short, these socks feel awesome – especially if you need a bit of extra toe or ankle support. Ran a 5K in them at the Gospel Run and biked a bunch. Felt like a million bucks. On the downside, I looked like I was a business man who forgot his pants. Not the most flattering in photos and a I am pretty vain! So… I did not wear them for the Women’s Half the next day. I will wear them though.”
Well… I did wear them and I loved them (still do). I wore them in all of these races last summer: ‘Merica Trail Run, Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10, Seawheeze Half Marathon, North Country Trail Half Marathon, Michigan Wine Trail Half Marathon. I love them for ankle stability and foot support. I especially liked them in my trail races. I pretty much sold the heck out of these when I worked for CEP at the RnR Chicago 2013 Half expo and got a bunch of my friends to buy or try them, too.
This year at the RnR expo, folks were asking for brighter colors. CEP delivers. The Dynamic+ Short Socks are now available in flash green and flash pink in men’s and women’s. I don’t have a photo, but trust me. They will be bright and cool – just like people want them!
CEP is offering one reader a pair of Dynamic+ Short Socks in flash green or flash pink. ($25 retail value)
That’s not all, they are offering a new product now: Progressive+ Run Merino Socks. These are a new version of the Progressive Run Sock line with the addition of premium merino wool. Why add merino to the tried and true formula? For better moisture management, heat management and antibacterial/odor reducing properties. How awesome is that? These socks are a unique combination of premium merino wool, polypropylene and high-tech spandex. Like the other Progressive+ Run socks, they are nice and tight in the feet with comfortable padding to prevent blisters. These are also great for travel – the merino will keep them fresh if you can’t machine wash. They come in gray/black and blue/black for now and are offered in men’s and women’s in the traditional sizing.
They still have all of the benefits of the defined compression profile:
- Optimum recovery and performance
- Maximum stability for muscles and joints to help prevent injuries
- Special design activates the flow of blood in the muscles
- Metatarsal compression zone for arch stabilization
And guess what? CEP is offering a pair of these new socks to one lucky reader, too! ($65 retail value)
