You may have heard of compression socks, whether from your travel-happy friends or fitness-obsessed coworkers, but you may not know what they actually do. Compression socks can help with blood circulation, reduce swelling, and decrease your risk of blood clots, no matter the activity. That means that those of us who work on our feet all day, those stuck behind a desk, or those who are enjoying life in a recliner can wear compression socks to keep our bodies healthy. They’re especially great for long-haul flights to keep blood clots from forming while your legs are inactive and long-distance running to keep your legs from swelling. And while most compression socks are designed to just blend in, you can also get some pretty great options that have just as much personality as you do.
