Scholl Compression Flight Socks 3-7

Scholl Compression Flight Socks 3-7 are travel compression socks designed to be worn during long journeys such as flights, long bus rides or extended car trips. According to the manufacturer, Scholl Flight Socks use graduated compression, which means the sock is firmest around the ankle and gradually eases further up the leg. This design is intended to help your legs feel more comfortable when you are seated for many hours. The “3-7” in the name refers to the size range shown on the pack, so check the manufacturer’s size guide before use.

Many travellers in Malaysia and Singapore take long-haul flights for work, holidays or visiting family, and sitting still for hours can leave legs feeling tired, heavy or puffy. Compression flight socks are a popular travel accessory for people who want their legs to feel lighter and more comfortable when they arrive. They are designed to be worn discreetly under trousers and with most everyday shoes. Putting them on before you set off helps you get the most comfort from them throughout the journey.

Compression socks are not suitable for everyone. If you have circulation problems, diabetes, numbness in your feet, broken skin on your legs, a heart condition or a history of blood clots, speak to a doctor before using them. Flight socks are a comfort accessory and do not replace medical advice or any treatment your doctor has recommended. Always follow the fitting, wearing and care instructions printed on the pack.

• Check that the size range on the pack matches your measurements before wearing.
• Turn the sock inside out down to the heel, then slip your foot in and position the heel correctly.
• Ease the sock up your leg gradually and evenly, without pulling hard on the top band.
• Smooth out any wrinkles and make sure the top band is not folded or rolled down.
• Put the socks on before your journey and remove them after you arrive, or as directed on the pack.

Wear one pair for the duration of your journey, putting them on before departure and taking them off after arrival or as directed on the pack. Do not wear them overnight unless a doctor has advised you to. Wash the pair according to the care instructions before wearing them again.

Compression socks do not have an expiry period like skincare products, but their elasticity reduces with repeated wear and washing. Refer to any manufacturer guidance on the pack and replace the socks when they become loose, overstretched or damaged.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep away from heaters, irons and other sources of high heat.
• Wash and dry according to the care instructions on the pack.
• Keep the pair together in its original packaging or a clean bag when not in use.

• Compression flight socks are generally well tolerated when the correct size is worn as directed.
• Mild skin irritation or itching where the sock or top band sits.
• Temporary marks or indentations on the skin after removal.
• A feeling of tightness or discomfort, especially if the size is too small.
• Numbness, tingling, pain or a change in toe colour, in which case remove the socks straight away.
• Stop use and consult a doctor or pharmacist if any discomfort or skin reaction persists.

• Do not use if you have known poor circulation in the legs (such as peripheral arterial disease) unless advised by a doctor.
• Check with a doctor first if you have diabetes or reduced feeling in your feet.
• Do not wear over broken skin, wounds or skin infections on the legs.
• Avoid if you are allergic to any of the materials listed on the pack.
• Seek medical advice first if you have unexplained leg swelling, a heart condition or a history of blood clots.

• No known drug or food interactions.
• If you already use prescribed compression garments, check with your doctor before swapping them for flight socks.
• If you take medicines that affect blood clotting or have been told you are at risk of blood clots, seek medical advice before a long journey.

• Measure yourself and check the size guide on the pack before travelling.
• Put the socks on before your legs have been sitting or standing for long periods.
• Flex your ankles and walk along the aisle when it is safe to do so.
• Drink water regularly during the flight and limit alcohol.
• Keep the top band flat, never rolled or folded down.
• Pack a spare pair for long trips with connecting flights.

Scholl Compression Flight Socks are a travel comfort accessory and are not a medical treatment. Anyone who is pregnant, has recently had surgery, has a long-term health condition or a history of blood clots should speak to a doctor before a long journey for personalised advice.

Do not wear socks that feel painfully tight. Choose only the size that matches your measurements according to the pack.
