La Chaussette de France Rockies

The Rockies by “La Chaussette de France”, are mid-high compression socks, oriented to Trail and Ultra running, but also for recovery, so two-in-one; action + recovery. As well as the progressive compression characteristics, the Rockies are also thermoregulatory thanks to the use of bio-ceramic thread. These socks are anatomically formed and so have a Left and Right foot.

We tested them in different conditions, from short fast outings, speed sessions, to long outings, and not forgetting recovery periods. It is always difficult to evaluate a compression models, each one having preferences on the compression “dosage” wished for. To choose the model, La Chaussette de Francemakes it easy for you by providing a choice uniquely by foot size (unlike other brands who ask for calf measurements as well), so will the compression be enough? Or too much?

 

The Rockies are fine to the touch, and you quickly see the different specific compression weaving. The textile seems very tough and flexible. They go on very easily and sit in position perfectly. No need to battle with them to position them correctly. The material slides well on your skin. Once on you have the sensation of compression that is spread out and comfortable.

 

Now it’s time to run! Here we can discover the real compression of the socks, and the absorption of muscular vibrations. You don’t need to get used to them as soon as you start running you forget you’re wearing them thanks to their weave, good ventilation and finesse.

At the end of the outing the socks are slightly damp, but we noticed the performance of the thermoregulation especially during intensive or long sessions or competitions. They come off as easily as they go on.

Worn for recovery too, the compression is comfortable and pleasant for half a day’s wear. Very difficult to evaluate and quantify the final benefits of this type of product.

The only negative point would be the presence of little bits of stitching, but you can’t feel them at all whilst running. But if you caught a nail that hasn’t been cut properly it could quickly alter the sock.

The Rockies are a compression model that would satisfy a wide number of runners thanks to their very well-thought out design which produces socks that are so comfortable you forget you are wearing them.
