FAQs
Are these socks intended for daily wear?
While they can be worn whenever support is needed, they are specifically designed for long periods of immobility, such as during travel.
What does 10 mmHg mean?
It refers to the pressure level (millimeters of mercury). 10 mmHg is considered light-to-firm compression suitable for healthy travelers.
Can I wear these with my existing shoes?
Yes, their material thickness is designed to be similar to standard socks, allowing them to fit into most travel footwear comfortably.
What should I do if the socks feel loose?
Ensure they are pulled up fully to the knee. If they continue to slide down, they may not be the correct size for your leg circumference.
Are these suitable for people with existing medical conditions?
If you have a history of circulatory problems, diabetes, or skin conditions, please consult your physician before using compression socks.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the socks on
Ensure your feet and legs are dry and free from lotions. Use a rubber glove to help grip the nylon material for better control.
Socks feel too tight or constricting
Check that the socks are not bunched or folded over at the top, as this creates a tourniquet effect. Ensure they are smoothed out evenly across the calf.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Meets rigorous British Standard BS7563:1999 requirements
- Provides essential 10 mmHg compression for travel safety
- Discreet look suitable for any travel outfit
- High-quality nylon construction ensures long-term durability
Cons
- Sizing is limited to generic medium, which may not fit all foot sizes
- Compression feel may be uncomfortable for those not used to medical-grade hosiery
- Requires careful manual care to maintain elastic integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the effectiveness of your flight socks, it is important to put them on before boarding your transport while your legs are least swollen. Reach inside the sock to grasp the heel, turn it inside out, and slide your foot in, then smooth the material up your calf, ensuring there are no wrinkles or bunches.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash in cool water using mild detergent.
- Lay flat to dry away from direct heat sources.
- Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry, as these actions will damage the elastic fibers and compromise the compression levels.
