I came across the recent NPR article discussing compression performance wear, and thought it would be interesting to hear from those among us who wear them. The long held belief is that the socks increase blood flow and thus aid in recovery time. They have been used in the medical industry for many years to help [...]
Buffalo is a very friendly city. I am confident making this deduction after having walked and/or run through a number of cities.
