Good news, loyal NMA readers. Based perhaps on how pleased I was with CEP compression socks (or, more likely, on Chris H.'s wistful comment, "No free giveaway though? :O[ "), CEP Compression Sportswear has offered up a pair of their compression socks to give away to a reader!
This might be the coolest giveaway I've ever done, so I'm excited.
Here's all you need to do to enter.
1. Head over to CEP's website.
2. Figure out which of their socks or sleeves you'd most like to win. (They have the running socks and all-sport sleeves that I reviewed, plus walking socks, trekking socks, skiing socks, and soccer sleeves.)
3. Leave a comment on this post telling me which ones you'd choose.
As always, this contest is as non-techie friendly as possible. Tweets, Facebook shares, link, and subscribes are all GREATLY appreciated and will boost your karma, but they won't actually increase your chances of winning.
I'll select a random winner a week from now. Good luck!
Important info about the compression sleeves
After reading my review, Michael from CEP Compression Sportswear also gave me a word of warning that I thought I should pass on to you.
Apparently, wearing the sleeves (which don't cover your feet, like the socks do) for long periods of time can cause swelling in your feet, as blood pools there. Not everyone will have the problem, so train in them before racing to figure out if they work for you. But the sleeves are really designed for short runs, and definitely NOT for long car rides or flights, as the swelling could even be dangerous if not addressed. (For that matter, any compression tights that stop at the ankle should not be worn for car and plane rides.)
The full socks put compression on the feet to prevent swelling and are therefore better than the sleeves for longer-period use. So when I used the sleeves for my long run this weekend, I probably should have been wearing the socks instead. Oops. Luckily, I'm still alive and kickin'. 
Now get those entries in!

Exciting! I've been wanting to try these for a while now… I think I'd go with the Running O2 Compression Socks.

Oooh. I was just looking at their site after reading your last post! (And discovered that no one seems to sell CEP stuff near my Boston MA location.) Even with the caveat, I think I'd go for the All Sports Sleeves.
Ooo….I would totally love CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks! After my long run I love to put my feet up and give them a rest. I've got several different brands and have wanted to try CEP but the budget isn't allowing me to right now.
I'd have to go with wanting to try the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. I like the black.

Hmm… CEP Running O2 Compression Sportsocks would be my choice. I wonder what my legs & feet would say after my weekend long runs…
Greetings from Portland, Oregon!
If randomly chosen I'd go for the CEP Running Progressive Compression.
Cheers!
Hi Matt!
I was thinking I wanted to try out the sleeves (as I have a particular sock I love) but after your "PS" above – I'm hoping to try the CEP Running O2 Compression Sportsocks (pink of course!)
Thanks for another awesome opportunity…
Very cool! I'd love a pair of the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. It would be a real treat for sore calves after a long run.
WOOO HOOO! Nice one. If i was the randomly chosen person I'd lurve the Progressive Compression Socks in Black!
Nice giveaway!
I'd go with the CEP Running O2 Compression socks. And if I had the option of color, I'd totally go with the bright pink!

I definitely think these would help my legs on my longer runs!

I'd sure enjoy a pair of the CEP Running Progressive Socks. I'm thinking they'd be great at reducing pain for Marathon+ distances.
I eould like to try the CEP Progressive Running in Black…
oooooh. The hot pink Running O2 Compression Socks for sure!
Awesome. I love my Zensah compression socks but would love to try the CEP. If I win I've like the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks.
I wear the socks for recovery mainly but have had great success traveling in them and not feeling dead-legged after a long trip.
I would absolutely go with the hot pick compression socks! In fact, I have that exact pair on hold at a local running store. Maybe I will have to hold off picking them up in case I win
Thanks for the giveaway!
I recently purchased these Lululemon compression socks and would love to see how they compare with CEP! I would love to try the Running Progression Compression Socks.
The posts on compression socks are really helpful!
I would love to try the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. I've used other compression socks for recovery, but never tried them while running. (I might have to wait for winter, when no one will be able to see them under my tights.)
I would go with the CEP Running O2 Compression Socks in hot pink. Thanks for the giveaway. Just started following this blog, it's awesome
I would love to win a free pair of the CEP RUNNING COMPRESSION SOCKS. They look awesome. I'm a poor graduate student so haven't been able to invest in a pair just yet…
The black running socks would be great to try. This is a pretty cool give-away.
I'd try out the Running O2 compression socks in hot pink please. Love the color in those!
Ow! So fun. I'd want the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. Fabulous giveaway.
.-= Erica´s last blog ..Easy Pasta Salad, BAoK, Charleston Meet up =-.
I would go for a pair of CEP Running O2 socks. I've only seen one guy wearing compression socks during a race, and I have to say that he looked somewhat ridiculous, but if they give you 5% improvement, I'd do it too!
.-= Jesse N.´s last blog ..I'm Still Alive =-.
I would go with the CEP Running O2 Compression Sportsocks in PINK
The first time I saw an athlete wearing them it was Chrissie Wellington as she was signing autographs after we did the Timberman 70.3 half ironman.
OMG WANT! I would go for the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks, in the hot pink color. I've got some cheaper Nike compression socks that I like OK, but I'd really like to try some really GOOD compression socks and see if I can detect a difference!
I'm running a "private marathon" pretty soon as a birthday present to myself. Those compression socks could come in pretty handy for such an event.
I would love a pair of the all-sport socks in hot pink!! Love the color! Thanks!
This is great! I've never tried compression socks but I've always wanted to! If I had the chance, I'd try the Running O2 Compression Sportsocks. Thanks Matt
.-= Lauren´s last blog ..‘Best Ever’ Bean Burgers =-.
I would like to win the compression sleeves!
I love the CEP Running O2 Compression Socks in hot pink– the color alone would make me run my marathons faster!
Great giveaway! Definitely worth de-lurking for. These would've come in handy for Boston training, but would love a pair for my next marathon. The Running O2 Compression Sportsocks in black would be my pick.
With the update on the scariness of wearing the sleeves for long runs, I opted to comment on the progressive running socks. I need my feet!!
Thanks for the giveaway.
I've only worn compression socks on flights, but I think it would be great to try them on my runs…. hmmm, would the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks help???Maybe if I go for the hot pink, the run will be that much faster! Great giveaway. Thanks!
The black CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks look fantastic! I'd choose those.
i like the CEP Running O2 Compression Socks in pink. and thanks for the sleeve information
I would love a pair of CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. Thanks Matt!
i've been hearing more people trying compression socks. if i were so lucky, i would like CEP Running O2 Compression Socks in white (despite the fact that those probably turn a lovely dingy color fastest!).
I would absolutely love to try the CEP Running O2 Compression Socks!
.-= ashley´s last blog ..Luna Bar Review and Pictures =-.
Awesome! I'd like the CEP O2 compression socks in pink. Thanks!
I would love to try the CEP Running O2 Compression socks in black–because what looks better than tall black socks? Thanks!
Reading can pay off (hopefully)
If so lucky to be selected, I'd love the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks in black (mens)
Walking would work wonders for me, especially since I do about 7 miles a day of it
CEP Running O2…would love these! Thank you for the giveaway.
Ooh, tough call on the choice. I was originally going to go for the sleeve as well but after your warning, maybe I'd go for the socks, just in case! Would be awesome to wear during a marathon because after my 20 last weekend, my calves were cramping bad as soon as I stopped!!
Wouldn't mind trying out some of the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. Though I'll have to measure my calves.
As an aside, I've seen a couple references that actually wearing them during the run may not do much (other than a psychological benefit…which isn't bad!) but that they're great for recovery. I'll have to see if I can find those articles. Of course, they're more than worth it for style point!
sweet giveaway!
i'd choose the running socks. they look great!
I would try the black running compression socks.
I've been keen to try these for a while now – both for the calf support and also to evaluate their effectiveness in protecting the shins from vegetation when running off-trail (I'm a competitive orienteer). I don't want to give up my Thorlo Trail Runner socks, so I'd go for the sleeves in a Mens Size IV(4) in Black.
Ohhh…I would love to win a pair of these! I would love the Running 02 compression socks!
.-= Aimee (I Tri To Be Me)´s last blog ..Platte River 1/2 Marathon Race Report =-.
Awesome! I am trrying to get back into distance running. It is a slow progression and I would love to try CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks!
Very sweet. I would love those CEP Progressive compression running socks. It never would have occurred to me about the swelling of the feet over the long run but that makes sense! Thanks for the tip.

I would go with the walking sock. I will be walking the Avon Two Day Walk in July, sounds like a great place to use them!

I was just telling my friend about your blog post on the compression socks/sleeves today! I would love to try the good old socks. I don't really understand the difference between the two models, but they both look/sound helpful!
I would love to try a pair of all sports compression sleeves. As a 193 lb distance runner, i need all the help i can get on my long runs. On my 20 miler this past weekend, I experience some calf pain and was actually thinking about how much I could benefit from something like this!
P.S. I enjoy the site big time.
Tom
It really is amazing what a good pair of socks can do, and these babies sound pretty amazing. I'd go for their trekking socks because my job involves a lot of hiking.
After an injury last year I do all my runs in compression socks because my legs feel great afterward. I need get another pair so I can rotate them. I'd love to try the running compression socks, in pink of course.
.-= Gina´s last blog ..My Decision on 26.2 =-.

.-= AndrewENZ´s last blog ..Weigh-in #15 2010: Weekend problems =-.
I haven't been running for too long, but I do occasionally experience heaviness in my legs after a particularly strenuous bout of running. Also, the nurses at work will wear something similar to help circulation etc. b/c they are on their feet ALL day! I would love to win the CEP All Sports Sleeves (in white)…b/c the socks would be difficult to use with my VFFs! Thank you for the opportunity.
Great idea for a giveaway!
I would love the CEP All Sports Compression Sleeves (Men III in black)
Cheers Matt!

I am a triathlete that does a bunch of running! After reading your review, I went running to my local fleet feet but, they didn't have any of the cool sports compression sleeves.
So, I would like to try the sports compression sleeves.
Thanks

Just looking at the picture here I want hot pink ones! But then I visited the site to get specifics … and yes, I am still lovin' the hot pink running socks!

I'd love the Running 02 socks, thanks for doing the giveaway!
Been having some calf trouble and would love to see if these will make the difference.

I would love to try a pair of the skiing sport socks. I always have problems with my feet swelling while skiing..which is weird b/c it never happens in any other type of exercise..but it always kind of stresses me out so if the sock fixed the problem that would be awesome. Good karma come my way!
Thanks again Matt!
Greetings,
Please pick me!!! I'd like to win a pair in black and try it out on a run. It would go great with my no meat athlete t-shirt.
I'd like to try the running socks, thinking of buying a pair but it would be cooler to win some

I would love to try the CEP Progressive Running Socks – woman's in white – please no pink!
I received severe leg injuries almost 6 years ago in an accident. Doc almost amputated my left leg, but took a risk, did days of surgery and saved it – yes! But they weren't sure of the level of recovery it would have. Years of physical therapy, hours of walking and last year I began running again! (pre-accident I was a marathon runner) I ran in 5Ks last year and did a 6-mile race this past weekend and loved it.
Both my calves are still funky, especially the left one and I think these socks would help my running as I prepare for my first half-marathon later this summer.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. I am less than a week away from Boston ( I finally qualified as well) and am battling with awful insertional tendentious…so much so that I may not be able to run
I will try anything to help these legs!!
CEP Running O2 Compression Socks…in pink, of course
I'd love to try the compression running socks! Thanks for this!

I'd love to try out the running O2 compression socks. Good thing your feet didn't swell up!
Matt, I'm happy to have just discovered your blog! I've been busy reading through your archives and learning from your experience. Thanks for taking the time.
And while I'm at it, I'm intrigued by the science behind these compression socks, so if my random number comes up, I'll take a pair of those black progressive compression running socks.

I am oddly having a hard time deciding between the socks and the sleeves. I think I'd pick the socks (CEP Running Progressive Compression socks). And although black would be more practical, I love me some pink and life is about having fun, right? So I'd go with pink!
Great, great giveaway, and thanks for the thorough review.
Lots of people want pink… I'm waiting for the first male to request pink.
Ooh!
I would go for the CEP All Sports Compression Sleeves (since I run in FiveFingers) in black (which would be more forgiving on muddy trails).

I would like to try the CEP All Sports Compression Sleeves, I am picky about my socks, so I think the sleeves would be better for me.
After reading your review I went to the local REI and was sad to see they had no compression socks. If I were to be the lucky winner of a pair of these nifty socks, I would choose the CEP Running 02 Compression Socks size II in white. (I've heard it's bad to run in black socks because the dye seeps into your sweaty feet.) Thanks for the opportunity!
Well, after reading the info about swelling feet, I would definitely go with the running compression socks. The CEP Running O2 Compression Socks in black would be my pick!
Thanks for the giveaway! I'd love to try the CEP running O2 compression socks! If only they came in polka dots…
I would choose the CEP Running Progressive Compression Sports Socks– after your review anyone would be silly not to want a pair!
I would love a pair of white compression socks! It's a long shot, but you can't win if you don't play!

I think I would want to try the soccer socks! I don't play soccer, but I do play ultimate frisbee, which is very similar athletically, but with even more running. Plus I'm recovering from knee surgery!
Well I saw the "Why lurk?" question, and decided that I WOULDN'T! This is my first time visiting your site as I am trying to transition into less/no meat.
I would definitely love the all sport sleeve. For me socks and shoes aren't a regular for every run so I think the sleeves would work the best with how I stride.
CEP Running 02 Compression socks — I would LOVE a pair of good compressions socks for running!
I'd definitely go for the pink O2 compression socks! I've been working on building my arches, which has wrecked a bit of havoc on my ankles, so I've been looking into compression for quicker recovery. Plus, pink goes with my pre-wrap headbands

Hot Pink All Sport Sleeves please! I figure if I'm going to be wearing them, might as well show a little flair. I've read that they can be good for those of us with low blood pressure, so I can't wait to try them out.
Hmmm…hot pink sleeves! I'm a beginner runner, running my 1st 5k on May 1st…always thought id hate running but I actually am falling in love with it…go figure that I get those darned shin splints and compression really feels good! Hot pink makes me smile. Bless! Les.
I'd love to be able to afford a pair of the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks. I'm a nurse so between work and working out, my feet and legs are always hurting!
I could greatly benefit from the
"CEP Running Progressive Compression Sock"
for distance running and a recent calf issue. Thanks for the great reads.

I would love some pink compressions socks in a women's size 3. Yippee! I just heard about them today and tried a pair on for the first time!
I'd love the running socks. Hopefully it would help with my shin splints!
I want some of those black running socks
I would definitely like to win the CEP Running Progressive Compression Sock. I've heard a little bit about these things helping people in their races.
Plus has the addition of blister prevention. That would surely help out in those long trail runs.
Black running socks would be wonderful
I'd pick the O2 white!
A great compression sock you should try is the SIGVARIS Athletic Recovery Sock, http://www.athleticrecoverysock.com
I think it's the best sports compression sock on the market.
I would love small pink compression socks.
The pink socks are amazing!! I think I am officially in love with them! I started wearing compression socks when I started steeplechasing to give my calf muscles support. Although a few nasty accidents later I quit the 'chase, I have stuck with the socks, and have really felt the benefit during and after track sessions. I'm a brit, and I think we've had the sock craze a bit longer than you guys thanks to the Paula Radcliffe effect, but we can only get them in black or white. I came to the US last year and your running kit is so much more fun! US size 6. Have a good season everyone. x
is the sock sleeve giveaway contest still open? just found this site, newish to running and have ran lots of 5k this summer to get into the running scene so far love it.. and wanted to try the comp sleeve size 6 ladies hope its not closed yet..great site by the way..
Jane, no, the sock giveaway is from several months ago. They really are great compression socks though, and I find that they really work.
Thanks anyway and glad you enjoy the site!
I would love to have a pair of the CEP running socks, size 3, white.

I am training for my first half marathon ever! Unfortunately, the dreaded shin splints have found me. I would love the CEP Running O2 socks in pink Size III to help with this frustration!
I would love the CEP Running O2 Compression Socks in pink , I've had horrible shin splints lately and I hope these socks really help. I run 20 miles a day so they may make a great difference
Thanks
I would like to win the CEP O2 Running Compression socks in Black!!
I would like to try the new progressive running socks.
I have recently started longer distance running, and triathlons. I would love a pair of the CEP Running O2 Compression Socks in White.
dream sock = CEP Running O2 Compression Socks {white, pretty please}
I've worn both CEP and Zensah and I must say, I'm sold on both sleeves. I love them equally and would recommend them to any long distance runner. I've only started running long (10+ miles) recently and prior to wearing calf sleeves, after each of my runs my calves would be sore and it would take a while to recover. However, since I've begun wearing compression sleeves, it makes the mileage much easier and recovery quicker.
Oh, I'd like the CEP All Sport Compression Sleeve in black size small(for my wife). I need to get her convinced and she's starting to develop varicose veins.
Hi Matt
Thank you for the very frank and honest feedback on the compression socks and shorts. I have been increasing my mileage in preparation for a marathon and was interested in finding out about the benefits of compression shorts and socks and found your website. Your personal recommendation of the compression sock has me sold on this accessory so I am hoping I can win a pair. My choice of compression sock from the CEP website would be the CEP Running 02 Compression Sock women size (III) in pink or white please.
I think that it's amazing that you're giving away a free pair of these socks. I have a secondary school, semi-national, cross country race coming up, and have been looking at the CEP Running Progressive Compression Socks, Black, Women's size, II. I would really like these, and they would really help me with my running!
