Best Compression Socks for Traveling

Compression socks have undergone a transformation in recent years. While formerly only available as tight, white, medical stockings, they have evolved into the ultimate travel essential. From frequent flyers to those heading out on a long vacation, compression socks are beginning to be recognized as a must-have product for anyone who wants to travel in comfort and style.

Here at Comrad, we are on a mission to bring you comfortable and stylish compression socks at an affordable price, keeping your legs and feet healthy – and looking good – during all stages of your journey.

What Are Compression Socks & How Do They Work?

Compression socks are your latest travel essential. They are specifically designed to promote blood circulation around the body by squeezing the tissues and veins in your feet. They are designed to prevent leg swelling and pain by encouraging blood from the legs and feet to return to your heart.

Why Are Compression Socks Great for Traveling?

Compression socks provide a number of benefits for travelers. They are essential on long haul flights, because being immobile for long periods of time can increase the risk of circulation problems and swelling. Because compression socks squeeze the vein walls on your feet and encourage blood circulation, they reduce the risk of swelling and blood clots. The risk of DVT, or deep vein thrombosis, can be lowered by wearing them on your next flight.

Traveling isn’t just sitting on an airplane – there’s the transfers, rushing around airports, and a lot of walking when you get to your destination involved. Compression socks can aid you in the whole travel experience by stopping your legs aching. They also promote muscle recovery, meaning that after a long day on your feet you’ll be ready to go again the next day.

There are also practical reasons that make compression socks great for traveling. At Comrad, we design products that you'll want to show off, and you can wear them for every occasion. From walking around a new city to a fancy dinner, you'll want to wear our socks, so you can save precious space in your suitcase by including a few pairs of compression socks rather than different ones for every occasion.
