From my experience as a competitive runner, they are not worth the money.
They might serve some recovery benefit for elite athletes, but if you are not going for world records I would pass.

I wear ones like these, just from the local medical wharehouse, when I'm on long flights, especially overseas. If nothing else, they keep my socks from falling down when I'm window seat and reaching down to pull them up would wake everyone up. Keeps my feet from getting 'puffy' and I feel like I'm doing my part to avert DVTs.

It's that simple.

I have a pair and when I was training for several half marathons, I would use them after long runs. Never could get into wearing them while running. They do help some with recovery, though.

Compression stockings like TED hose have been shown to do nothing to prevent DVT in postoperative patients.
Wear 'em for comfort (if they're comfortable), not for health.
