Compression Socks are pretty sweet. They've been the secret weapon of pro athletes for years now.
More recently they've been discovered by:
- Pregnant Women
- Nurses, Waiters, and people people who stand for 8+ hours
- Computer workers forced to sit for long periods
- Air Travelers
- Anyone looking to avoid ugly varicose veins
Compression socks are built differently from regular socks. A good pair of compression socks will provide 20-30 mmHG of graduated compression to aid blood flow and reduce foot/calf/leg swelling.
