Why don't African runners don't wear compression socks...

Have you taken a look at their calves? Nothing there to compress.

Hey size don't matter

No, in their case their calves are already compressed.

Maybe they should- Paula wore them.

They won't stay up.

Its bad enough that they have to wear giant shoes in order to get and keep lucrative shoe contracts but wearing compression socks is just too stupid, even if there would be some extra money involved.

Cuz they don't do sheit except lighten the wallets of entitled HS and kollege runners.

How do you explain this picture of Kipchoge training in neon green socks then?

Very good reply. Yes. Very good.

I'm imagining the socks just sliding down their stick-thin lower legs
