Compression travel socks
Compression travel socks
Function shouldn't be frumpy!
These great looking yet practical Sock It To Me compression socks can be worn throughout a flight, when playing sport or whenever compression support is needed. They finish below the knee and are designed to support the calf muscles with graduated compression from the foot and ankle. These socks will help reduce swelling on a flight and are typical of those sold over the counter at chemists and other travel stores.
Check out the cute Sassy Socks that not only give good compression, but are cute enough to wear with skirts or shorts!
Tip: Doctors advise you put your travel flight socks on when you get up in the morning the day you travel, wear to the airport, and don't remove them until a couple of hours after you have landed for best results to reduce swelling.
Please note: if you are prone to blood clots, are pregnant or have had recent surgery, please get your doctor's advice.

My husband Ian had club sized feet, doctor told him to get travel/pressure socks, yes works for him. Leonie
Probably the most comfortable compression socks I’ve ever worn, effective but still easy to get on and off. Nice looking too
Awesome! Thanks for the review - Megan
I am 5'3, have size 9 feet, skinny ankles and large calves. I went for the XXL size for the circumference and found that they were too loose around my ankles and too long in the foot to really help with the swelling in those areas. I think sizing down might be better but don't know if it would be too tight and uncomfortable around the calves?
They were perfect for my needs. With tye lingering effects of soft tissue injuries and swelling to my foot, I was searching for something to go under my moon boot to help support my foot and leg on a trans-Tasman flight for a conference. I’m happy to say the sock was a great solution - it gave me a lot of comfort. I also wore it walking (moon boot hobbling) to/from the conference venue and during. It was a real relief to have the socks with me. I also wear them on occasions at home when my foot feels strained, sitting at my desk etc. I think they’re going to be a constant travelling companion from now on.
Thank you for this great review Clare. I'm so glad they did the trick for you - Megan x
Excellent travel socks. Fitted well and stay firm and comfortable. Will buy more.
