One negative I've noticed among compression sock companies is the price. They often range in prices from $50-$70 for just one pair. $60 for socks is just crazy looney to me ( I huff and sigh at paying $9 for a movie or a $5 cup of coffee #helpmeimpoor, but they help me during my training, races and recovery, so TAKE MY MONEY. A couple weeks ago, Tiux reached out to me and sent me a pair of their compression socks to try out. I read a little about the company first and was really impressed with their business model.

If the company wasn't awesome enough, they've partnered with MAG ( Mines Advisory Group) and donate 1% of their revenue to the organization.
"At Tiux, it’s important for us to look for ways to make a positive difference. That’s why we’ve partnered with MAG (Mines Advisory Group) and will donate 1% of our revenue to help save lives and protect communities from landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other weapons remaining after conflict. This means that 1% of every purchase will go towards providing a safe and secure future for men, women and children affected by violence and conflict" source
When I received the socks, I first noticed the difference in packaging. They arrived in a sleek black box, and I'm a nerd so it made me excited.
I choose the pink and purple pair in an x-small ( I wear a size 7.5 shoe, but an 8 in running sneakers). The second thing I noticed right away was how soft (they're made of 200 thread count) and durable they felt. The material is so dreamy and fit like a glove, but didn't send me into a fit of swear words and sweats from trying to get them on. Tiux uses premium technical fabrics for awesome moisture wicking and breathability. I was so excited to try them out and took them for a couple runs of differing distances, one race and 1 day of recovery. They held up great and I was immediately hooked!! The graduated compression of these socks was seriously awesome. There's a wide band at the top that is comfortable and not too tight, amazing calf support, achilles tendon protection and a supportive and soft-padded footbed. They also added a left and right anatomical design. No more guessing which sock goes on which foot!
After I took these out for a few spins, I emailed the company to ask when they'd be coming out with more colors because I was in love! More colors should be coming out later this year. I can say in all honesty that these socks will be staple in my training and recovery and I'll buying the other 2 colors. If you're wondering how they stack up against other companies:![]() |

I hope you give these compression socks a try! I fell in love and I am so excited to see this company grow! They really have a passion for what they are doing and really really care about their customers.
Disclaimer: I was provided a free pair of Tiux Compression Socks in exchange for this review, however, the opinion are entirely my own.
Happy running! xo
Hi,
ReplyDelete35$ that a good deal !
I love compression and am always looking for new brands to try out, you never know when you'll fall in love! Runners are loyal fans of certain products and to me socks are a very important aspect of the sport just like shoes. I wore Mizuno Wave Elixirs for many years and now they don't make them anymore, leaving me searching for a new shoe to obsess about. I've been through about 20 pairs and the last few are almost ready for retirement. I'm going to try out the Adidas Tempo Boost, sorry Mizuno...We had a great run together. I normally wear Swiftwick compression socks but would love to try out Tiux, they could turn out to be my new go to sock for marathons!
ReplyDeleteI really like their business model...A great product, produced in quality factories with no middlemen and no high markups to pay highly endorsed athletes.
