Flight Attendants Rave About These Now-$5 Compression Socks That ‘Keep Swelling Down’ While Flying

The travel season is upon us, and whether you’re flying, walking or hiking to your next destination, compression socks are essential items to help you relax.

Amazon shoppers seem to have gotten the memo as more than 8,000 of them have already purchased a three-pack of these Charmking Knee High Compression Socks this month. The socks have earned more than 50,000 perfect ratings, plus best-selling status. And right now you can grab a multipack on sale, where each pair is under $5.

The socks have a pressure level of 15 to 20 millimeters of mercury, which gently compresses your feet, ankles and calves to reduce swelling and improve the flow of oxygen and blood through your legs. However, the socks are designed with comfort in mind: they’re made from a soft and stretchy fabric that’s flexible yet durable, making them easy to wear.

The material is also breathable, so you can wear them outside without feeling too stuffy this summer. Even better, the socks are machine washable for easy maintenance, though many reviewers note that they prefer to let them air dry to maintain stretch and compression.

The brand states that compression socks can provide relief to people with certain circulation problems, pregnant women and people who generally spend a lot of time on their feet, such as athletes and teachers. “I’m a nurse and this helps keep my legs from throbbing after a long 12 hour shift,” said one reviewer.
