Refer to the sizing chart provided by Go Travel, typically based on ankle and calf circumference. A correct fit means the graduated compression feels snug but not painful, with the tightest pressure at the ankle.
These socks are specifically designed for use during long periods of immobility, such as long flights or sitting for extended durations. For daily wear, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional, as continuous compression may not be necessary or recommended for everyone.
While approved for DVT prevention and improving circulation during travel, they are not a substitute for medical treatment. If you have specific medical conditions related to circulation, consult your doctor before use.
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat.
Yes, the socks feature a unisex design and are suitable for both men and women.
Graduated compression means the sock applies a specific level of pressure that is tightest at the ankle and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg. This helps to encourage blood flow back towards the heart.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the socks are consistently uncomfortable, they may be too small or not fitted correctly. Try re-adjusting them or consider a different size if measurements suggest it.
Make sure the socks are pulled up smoothly and evenly without creases. Ensure the leg is dry before putting them on. The garment might be too large for the leg if sliding persists significantly.
Verify that the graduated compression is correctly applied, with the tightest part at the ankle. Ensure the socks are worn throughout the entire duration of travel. If issues persist, consult a healthcare professional.
Setup: These flight socks require no setup. Simply put them on before your journey. Ensure they are pulled up smoothly and evenly, without any twists or folds, with the graduated compression being tightest at the ankle.
Compatibility: The socks are designed for adult use and are unisex. They are compatible with most travel attire. Ensure you select the correct size based on your calf and ankle measurements for the intended graduated compression effect. They are medically approved for use by individuals seeking to improve circulation and prevent DVT during sedentary periods.
Care: To maintain the effectiveness and integrity of the graduated compression, hand wash the socks in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Proper care will extend the life and performance of the socks.
