Having earned more than 38,300 perfect ratings at Amazon, these best-selling compression ankle socks are confirmed to do the trick for reducing swelling and supporting healthy blood circulation during travel and daily activities. Compression gear is known to be effective in allowing oxygen and blood to flow more smoothly through the body, limiting swelling, cramping, and overall discomfort, and these socks deliver.
The lightweight yet durable socks are low cut and breathable, absorbing sweat and moisture to help keep your feet cool during wear. Well-constructed and ultra-comfortable, the nylon and spandex material offers a tight fit that still provides a full range of motion while providing extra arch support and protection to the Achilles, limiting your risk of blisters as well. The six-pack comes in black, gray, white, navy, pink, and electric blue in sizes SM and L-XL.
