Review on Compression Socks For Swelling Reduction During Travel - NuVein Knee Highs For Men And Women, Closed Toe, Navy, Medium Size, 15-20 MmHg Compression by Krystal Boyd

These close-toe knee-high socks provide regular compression are designed for use when traveling and wedged into an airline seat with no leg-room or anytime sitting or standing for extended periods of time. The socks have an attractive diagonal striped texture, 15-20 mmHg compression, and a 2 inch double thickness top edge that is snug but does not constrict the leg. The fabric is 90 percent nylon and 10 percent spandex.I selected the medium size because I wear and 8 1/2 woman’s size shoe and since that is the end of the small range was concerned it would be too small. Admittedly the foot portion is a little long but the rest fits perfectly although the compression feels mild. Do check the size chart and take the time to measure ankle and calf for a good fit. Fabric care is hand wash in lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Do not twist fabric, rinse well in cool water then blot to remove most moisture and dry flat. The thickness is substantial and they are quite comfortable.
