Staying healthy while traveling is important. Our site has a variety of sock compression styles designed for travel. Frequent long distance travelers have a higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or blood clots in the deep veins. This occurs when one spends a significant amount of time spent in the same position without moving. Wearing gradient compresison travel socks increases circulation and encourages blood to flow back to the heart, avoiding the blood from pooling in the veins and risking dangerous clots.
