valiant professional running socks your running protection god

Many runners know that different terrains require different running shoes. However, most runners overlook the importance of athletic socks. Since socks are in direct contact with the feet, their primary function is to protect the feet. A good pair of athletic socks is essential for us running enthusiasts to start our runs healthily.                             

I have to thank my running group friends for introducing me to Hanjiang functional athletic socks. They wore Hanjiang-sponsored functional athletic socks during the Chongqing International Marathon and everyone praised them. Since then, I have been very interested in the Hanjiang brand. Persistence pays off, and Codoon's Xiao Dang brought us a review of Hanjiang's long-distance running tool—the 3X Gradient Compression Socks. I applied for the review without hesitation. Thanks to Xiao Dang and Hanjiang Sports Technology Co., Ltd., my wish came true.

Hangzhou Hanjiang Sports Technology Co., Ltd. is a cutting-edge company specializing in the research, development, and production of functional athletic socks and equipment, with a focus on internet operations. Relying on its 'parent company,' Zhejiang Oriental Baifu Hosiery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which has been dedicated to the craft of sock-making for 28 years, Hanjiang advocates for an active and healthy lifestyle. Their mission is to create China's leading brand of functional athletic socks, committed to providing sports enthusiasts with professional products that enhance athletic potential and offer protection. Now, let's take a look at the Hanjiang compression socks I've been dreaming of.

The packaging is simple and clear, with Hanjiang's QR code, product size, color, material composition, and functionality all clearly visible.

Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Socks are made from Lycra elastic fibers, featuring a comfortable elastic cuff that reduces pressure from prolonged wear, allowing for free movement. The Chinese dragon design on the leg part of the sock is very beautiful.

The Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Socks are based on the research findings of ergonomic design experts. The scientific gradient compression effectively reduces muscle vibration in the legs, tightly wrapping the calf muscles in the socks, and alleviating fatigue caused by lactic acid buildup.

The footbed of the Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Socks uses rod-shaped flow knitting, which effectively dissipates heat and wicks moisture, keeping the feet dry. It also has shock absorption and anti-friction functions. The toe and heel areas use special high-strength blended yarns, making them durable and wear-resistant.

The Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Socks feature an extended Achilles tendon design, enhancing support and protection for the Achilles tendon and ankle joint, reducing the risk of injury. The Y-shaped heel ensures a snug fit, preventing slippage during exercise. Additionally, the socks are designed with separate functional zones for the left and right feet, catering to the needs of professional athletes.

The Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Running Series Socks come in seven colors. With such high-quality color options, I couldn't decide which one to choose and wanted a pair in every color. Ultimately, I chose black.

The night I received the socks, I went for a 10-kilometer run. My running shoes are size 40, and I chose size M-T2 for the Hanjiang Gradient Compression Socks, which fit perfectly. The comfortable elastic cuff of the Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Socks tightly wrapped my calves. Initially, it felt a bit unfamiliar, but my legs could stretch freely. I'm not sure if it was because of the slightly slippery insoles of my Ultra Light 13 shoes or the initial break-in period of the Hanjiang socks, but there was a slippery feeling between the socks and the insoles during the run. My calves felt very comfortable, similar to wearing compression pants in winter, with the fabric tightly wrapping my legs. Perhaps this is the legendary gradient compression. In 31-degree weather, the socks felt a bit stuffy, but overall, they were very comfortable, and the socks remained dry after the 10-kilometer run.

For the second trial, I switched to my Codoon smart running shoes and did a 10-kilometer jog. Perhaps due to the material of the insoles, the Codoon insoles and Hanjiang socks fit very well. My feet were tightly wrapped during the run, and despite the thick socks, my toes were unaffected after the 10-kilometer run in my size 40 shoes. I took photos of the scenery along the way, and before I knew it, I had finished the 10 kilometers, attracting amazed looks from morning runners. The socks remained dry, but taking them off was a bit challenging. After nearly a week of testing, including walking, running, and wearing them to work, the gradient compression of Hanjiang socks performed admirably. Although my calf muscles felt tight, it was a very comfortable feeling. After wearing them for several days, the socks retained their elasticity, making them a bit difficult to put on and take off. I planned to hand wash them to see if the fabric would fade, but my wife washed them while I was taking a nap, and she said they didn't fade.

The Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Athletic Socks are very suitable for races, long-distance LSD runs, hiking, trail running, speed training, and regular training. They are ideal for spring, autumn, and winter, but can be a bit stuffy in the summer.

The Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Athletic Socks feature high-quality color options, professional design, and comfortable feel. Just like a good horse deserves a good saddle, pairing them with professional running shoes will help you run farther, faster, and healthier. Hanjiang 3X Gradient Compression Athletic Socks are your guardian on the road to fitness, and you deserve to have them!
