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.

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.

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
