Indeed. I can't quite bring myself to wear compression socks in public. Although I sometimes wear them during the day under my trousers

But the fact is that people do swear by compression. Apparently it stops sore muscles by preventing much of the micro-tears and therefore allowing quicker recovery.

I would say that calf muscles are the number one priority. So try out the socks first and see if they make a difference.
