Lately I've seen several runners with these high tech compression socks. I looked them up at Sports authority.
They sound very worth while for hikers, calf support, less calf fatigue. some with ankle support. no weights reported.
and they would function as sock liners $20 - $50
I was planning on bringing a pair of elastic knee highs. You know those ugly beige knee socks old ladies wear.
I think the things for runners would be better.
