compression socks
Tight therapeutic legwear
Compression socks are tight-fitting socks designed to apply pressure to the lower legs, promoting blood flow and reducing swelling.
They're worn by people with circulation problems, those recovering from surgery, or anyone spending long hours standing or sitting—nurses, travelers on long flights, runners.
I always wear compression socks on transatlantic flights.
