I agree that compression socks can help especially on travel. There is a reason why some athletes use this kind of socks, maybe it is because they find it helpful. As for me, it is a great help not just health wise but even when it comes to style. There are variety of compression socks that are colorful and fashionable.or those who don’t know, when you run at a relatively high level, a lot of racing encompasses long travel days and then lots of sitting around at a hotel. I must say out of all of the uses for compression socks this is where I saw the most benefit.
