Traveling Compression Socks

Traveling Compression Socks

Sitting still for extended periods during a flight can lead to tired legs, swollen ankles, or even thrombosis. Compression socks stimulate blood circulation in your lower legs, help prevent fluid retention, and provide greater comfort during travel.

Our collections include medically certified socks: lightweight, breathable, and perfectly fitted for long journeys. A must-have for long flights of several hours or intercontinental flights.

Why compression socks are essential when flying

During a flight, you often barely move for long periods, especially on journeys lasting several hours. This slows down blood circulation in your lower legs and can lead to tired legs, swollen ankles, or, in some cases, even thrombosis. Compression socks support blood circulation by applying targeted pressure around the ankles and calves, which can prevent these problems.

Herzog compression socks are specially designed for extended use while traveling. They fit snugly around the lower leg, without pinching or slipping, and remain comfortable, even in a cramped airplane seat. Active pressure distribution stimulates blood flow and limits fluid retention. This way, you'll arrive feeling refreshed, whether you're on a short European flight or an intercontinental trip.

A practical tip: put on your socks before you leave and keep them on until you're moving again. This is most effective for your circulation.

Why wear compression socks while flying?

Compression socks actively support blood circulation, reducing the risk of fluid retention, heavy legs, or thrombosis. During long flights, blood circulation in your lower legs slows down.

Are there special compression stockings for women or men?

Herzog compression socks are unisex and are worn by both men and women. Thanks to their medical-grade fit, they conform closely to the shape of the lower leg, regardless of gender.

Instead of separate women's or men's models, Herzog chooses based on your calf circumference and shoe size. This ensures an optimal fit and maximum compression, precisely tailored to your body type. Want to know what size you need? Check out our sizing guide.
