2xu (Two Times You) 24/7 socks are ideal for those who sit for long periods of time during travel or at work, or even those standing on their feet all day when decreased circulation can cause swelling and fatigue. Graduated compression improves circulation to counteract this for fresher feet and legs throughout the day. Here, passenger and pilot put them to the test.
“As a New Zealander living in Dubai, the majority of flying I tend to do is long haul, which means sitting in economy for 10-hours plus. I’ve become a pretty consolidated traveller, but these 2XU 24/7 compression socks have found a new place in my carry on. In the past I’d continually struggle to be disciplined in flight – walk around and stretch, but often no matter how hard I tried to keep myself moving it wouldn’t help the feeling of tired, achy and puffy feet. However, now I can walk off a flight feeling light on my feet. The socks fit easily in my on-board bag and I do not have to worry about changing my entire outfit when I get on and off the plane”, said Anna Roberts.
“Coolmax is incorporated into the foot bed for moisture management, so they don’t make my feet sweat at all and they feel great thanks to the added cushioning on the heels and balls of my feet” she added.
First Officer Ellen Roz found the socks restrictive and warm at first, but in the end was won over by the obvious benefit of reduced swelling. “I’m not used to wearing high socks that feel tight so at first I didn’t feel comfortable in them, but when I wore them again on a night flight I noticed a difference. My feet weren’t so swollen and usually they swell a lot when I don’t move much on a long flight. By the fourth flight I was used to them. I’ve tried different compression socks before and couldn’t bear them for more than an hour, but the 2XU 24/7 socks I could wear for the whole duration of my flight. I give them an 8/10. I really like them on night flights, where I can see and feel a
noticeable difference in reduced swelling and fatigue in my legs and feet.”
So, whether you sit for long periods or stand on your feet all day, 2XU’s 24/7 compression socks will improve your blood circulation, revitalising your lower limbs and feet. Say hello to your perfect travelling companion!
