Good news! Compression socks aren't all bad!
And more importantly, I didn't spend $50 on socks for nothin'.
I believe my main problem was not warming up properly. The second time I used them I biked to the gym from my house. It was just over a 2 mile ride, so nothing too strenuous but just enough to loosen up my muscles. I stretched when I got the gym, then hopped on the treadmill anxiously awaiting the fate of my decision to keep $50 socks. My endurance wasn't great, but I didn't get my dead legs! I've had the same results every time I've used them since.
Three cheers for not having to return things.
