I have some that are full socks that I've used during Yamacraw (50k) partially for the compression, partially to help keep crap out of my socks :)
The first half of that has a number of water crossings, and usually I'll swap into a second set of dry socks/shoes at my drop bag.
I have also worn the calf sleeves the next day after a big run for recovery also.
Oh man i used to have a pair of knee high compression toe socks from Injin(?) and i loved those things. Totally forgot about those.
I believe mine are 2XU. They're hard as hell to get on / off :)
Mine were as well. I used to play soccer so i didn't really have the typical runners calves so they were tight as hell on me which is probably why i never enjoyed running in them for longer distances.
I too am a fellow large calved ex soccer player / bicycle rider
