The Support Compression Stocking is the most suitable: lightweight, medically sound, and comfortable for extended periods. Exactly what you need on the plane.
When do you wear compression socks during travel?
Whether it is a short flight or a long car journey. When you travel, you will have to sit still for a long time. You move less than normal and your body will respond to this. Blood flow comes to a standstill and your feet feel cold. Fortunately, the Herzog Compression Socks help make your journey a lot more pleasant.
Why travel can be hard on your legs
-
Prolonged sitting
During a journey, you move less than usual, which means your leg muscles are barely active. Especially on longer journeys or flights, this can lead to a heavy and tired feeling in the legs.
-
Slower blood circulation
Lack of movement causes blood to flow more slowly through the legs. This can lead to cold feet and a less comfortable feeling during and after the journey.
-
Increased thrombosis risk
Slower blood circulation increases the risk of fluid retention in the feet and ankles. During longer journeys, this can also increase the risk of traveler's thrombosis, especially in people with an elevated risk profile.
Benefits of Herzog Compression Socks while traveling
No more swollen feet
Herzog Compression Socks ensure optimal blood circulation and maximum oxygen capacity to the muscles in your legs. This helps prevent swelling of your feet.
Prevent traveler's thrombosis
The compression socks have a preventive effect against traveler's thrombosis. The risk of traveler's thrombosis on long flights is 18.75 times smaller when you wear compression socks. But even during short flights, a pair of compression socks can make a difference.
Warmer feet
During the journey in the train, bus or car, it can get quite cold due to the air conditioning. If it turns out that your blood circulation is not optimal due to sitting still for a long time, your feet can become even colder. Compression socks ensure that your blood circulation remains stimulated and your feet receive enough oxygen to warm themselves.
The positive effects of Herzog socks
When you have to sit for a long time, such as a plane trip or a long car or train ride, fluid can build up in your feet and ankles. This can make your legs feel tired. Herzog Support Compression Socks prevent this discomfort.
