I've been messing with some different product (2XU calf sleeves, Sugoi compression socks)the last few weeks in my marathon buildup training phase. You've seen these most notably on Paula Radcliffe - those knee high socks that look like what I wore back in the late 70's / early 80's. So the deal is, better circulation / oxygen transport, less muscle vibration and support. Better post run recovery too if you wear them after your workouts.
Although looking like a jack ass - I'm sold. If you thought you were getting looks wearing those split running shorts, or heart rate monitor chest-strap without a top, you will get some glares with calf compression products on for sure -but who cares, these things are good. Better workouts and better recover.
Run fast!
