As you all know, since I talk about it all of the time, I have meaty calves. Its a great and terrible thing that prevents me from wearing normal compression socks and sleeves. These babies like to stop compression sleeves half way up my leg and laugh at me. Now let’s move on the next problem. Calf compression socks and sleeves do come in cute colors but nothing that makes them any different than others. Well look out world because Lily Trotters is here to save the day!
A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to help fund the first manufacturing of Lily Trotters and I couldn’t be more excited! Finally an answer to having multiple options of CUTE compression socks. Lilly Trotters are made from the finest micro nylon and currently are available in 5 different designs for you to preorder. They are not only antimicrobial and moisture wicking but they also consistently deliver 15-20 mmHg compression when wearing them. (If you are unaware of the benefits of compression socks and sleeves, please read this post to learn more.)
I received a pair to put to the test myself and I could not be more in love with them. Not only are they fashionably adorable, THEY FIT MY CALVES. Yes, you read that right, they fit my big ole meaty calves! These bad boys kept my calves compressed and worked like a charm. I would recommend them for any activity from running to traveling to sitting at a desk all day at work.
Want more on why Lily Trotters are so awesome?!
– For starters, cute feminine designs
– Easier to put on and take off than other brands**extremely accurate!!!
– Comfortable to wear for many hours
– Thin enough to fit inside any style of shoe
– Cushioned heels and reinforced toes
– 100% sourced and made in the USA
If you love what you’re seeing and everything that I’ve raved about, please go check out their Kickstarter campaign and support them! I, myself, will be pledging for their campaign as I’m craving another pair already! You can also learn more at lilytrotters.com, and connect with Lily Trotters on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

What cute socks! A few of my friends have similar problems with finding socks that fit their calves so it’s awesome that this company is here to solve that problem (and I love the fun designs!) <3

Those are super cute. My friend wears compression socks, so I will show her this.
I’ve not heard of these socks before.
I do love how cute they are. I could see me wanting these in the winter months!

Running of course
I’ve also been cursed with very muscular calves. So much that they’re bigger than my thighs. It’s nice to see that some companies are making products to actually fit them now, and not at an extraordinary price.
Oh, I love these! My daughter is a runner and LOVES colorful socks 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

I can’t wait to try them out!
I already backed them. Can not wait to receive my first pair!!!
I cannot wait to get some of these. Cute designs, subdued colors so you can actually wear them on a plane while traveling and not feel like a dork? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I’ll add them to to my collection of Running Compression Socks
So excited about these socks!
Meaty calves of the world – unite! I’m looking forward to compression socks that FIT with a unique look. I’d definitely wear these running but would also wear them when travelling.
I have an obsession with sock and I’ve been DYING for a pair of these!

I’ve been following them on Facebook for a bit, and was super excited to help with the Kickstarter campaign. Cannot wait to give these a try!
I love compression socks for recovery, but I may consider wearing these during my run because they are so darn cute!!!
Really excited about Lily Trotters! Thanks for the review and the giveaway!
I love these Jeska! So fun! Much better than boring black. I’d wear them for running, which I don’t do nearly enough.
Great to meet you at blogfest 🙂
hugs

Me too, but they are super cute and they look comfy. My girls will love these socks.

Yes, yes and yes! I will be coming back to enter the giveaway because I also am blessed with meaty calves!! If I were to focus weight workouts on these bad boys they can get downright huge (thanks Dad)!! I love compression socks not just for running, but even for long days at work.

Those socks are so absolutely adorable. Is it ridiculous that sometimes the only reason why I run is to wear the cute workout clothes I’ve bought?!?
These designs are awesome! My wife would love them – I’ll definitely have to share it with her.
These socks look super cute! I hadn’t heard of compression socks before. I love the idea though.
These socks are too cute. I love how colorful they are and I also love that they support the legs.

I’m loving that you say they’ll fit bigger calf muscles! Mine are pretty meaty also!
This is something my girlfriend would love a lot, those color patterns are so her thing!
Love these! I also have muscular calves, so these would be awesome. I dance and do yoga, so I would use them when I do those.

These are some pretty socks. They’ll be great for running or dancing as they offer support.

These are so cute! This would be a perfect gift for one of my friends, who has a similar problem!
It’s so nice to see compression socks that are cute and good looking like this! I need to try some for restless legs!

As someone with larger calves I feel your pain. These are so cute! If they feel as good as they look I’m in!
Okay, I’m not a runner, but I wear a lot of boots, and I love fun socks and these are stinking cute!! I love the pink dots!!

Can’t wait to get a pair of these! I’m already signed up on Kickstarter, but if I manage to win a pair and love them I plan on increasing to a 10 pair pledge. I wear compression socks almost every day and desperately need to find a new favorite, the current favorite style I wear is no longer available 🙁
What a fun accessory for the summer to wear with shorts and skirts! Very stylish, too!

I have been thinking about getting a pair of compression socks for running and travel. I love the styles these come in.

Would LOVE to win a pail of Lily Trotters!
I would use them for running.
OK…this is the weirdest thing. I was browsing through my Facebook feed, and I saw an old friend wearing something just like the blue multi-colored polka dot pair of the socks featured in your above pic. I wonder if the socks are from this company. I wish them luck on their Kickstarter campaign.

That’s a great giveaway. I could use some help w/my calves. 🙂
What a great kickstarter! I love the fun colours and how feminine the patterns of the socks are. I would wear these.

I would use them for running because I am starting distance running again.
I love these! I have meaty calves too and I could never get cool boots and knee high socks like all my friends. I like that these come in really cool colors and patterns.
