Compression socks or not?

Question

I'm starting running and have a co worker who is convinced that I need to wear compression socks when I run but my sister who runs a ton never does and says unless it's cold she dosent see a benefit other then extra warmth... 
I wear them for work but I'm a nurse who's on my feet most of my shifts and use it more for blood clot prevention and swelling so idk if I really need them for a 30 min run?
Do you wear compression socks to work out in or no?

Answer

Yeah, you don't need to unless your body is telling you you should while you run. I occasionally wear them for long runs (like 2 hrs) but never for short runs.

Answer

Short runs, no... in the cold, long runs, or if you have horrible blood flow, then yes! I only use them for long runs but not completely necessary.

Answer

I sometimes wear them- like if I went to the gym and was sore but wanted to still run or workout. It is more of a comfort thing for me than anything

Answer

Give your legs a break while you run.
