gentle squeezing pressure to your feet, ankles, and lower legs (depending on which height you wear). They are \u201cuseful in travel or extended sitting situations by increasing circulation and decreasing swelling in the lower legs,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riverstonechiropractic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.riverstonechiropractic.com\/\">Sandy Baird, DC<\/a>, a chiropractor in Oakland, California, who primarily treats runners for foot, ankle, and knee injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot all compression socks are created equal,\u201d says Dr. Baird, explaining that the amount of compression is classified in numerical ranges. The lowest limit is around 15-20mmHg\u2014the rating of Bombas\u2019 Everyday socks. More serious socks have a higher range: 20-30mmHg, the rating of Bombas\u2019 Performance socks. Above that, you get into the \u201cmedical grade\u201d range, and you\u2019d want to check with your doctor before trying that much compression. For the general population, 20-30mmHg is the sweet spot, says Dr. Baird, though Dallas foot and ankle surgeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasdirectpodiatry.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.dallasdirectpodiatry.com\">Nam Tran, DPT<\/a>, recommends \u201cstarting at the lowest and increasing the compression as tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bombas-compression-socks\/\" current-title=\"I Travel More Than 40 Days a Year, and These Compression Socks Keep My Feet Feeling Fresh Through Flights and Workouts\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/GettyImages-1430078337-425x285_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-04-10\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bombas-compression-socks\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bombas-compression-socks\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img decoding=\"async\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bombas-compression-socks\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\" class=\" js-inline-lazy-load\" src=\"\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To ease myself into the world of compression socks, I ordered a few products: one everyday compression pair, one knee-high performance pair, and one targeted performance (crew height) pair.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Bombas compression socks stand up to travel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before my long travel day (including almost 12 hours of in-flight time from Salt Lake City to Italy), I wore my classic white and blue Bombas Everyday socks. When I first slipped them on, they offered barely perceptible compression, which is preferable for me, especially since I knew I\u2019d be wearing them for hours on end. They\u2019re fairly thin so they fit nicely under the baggy jeans I was wearing. One downside? I tend to overheat on clammy, crowded flights, so by the wee hours of the morning I was starting to feel them.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1120469\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1120469\" style=\"width: 879px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1120469 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"Closeup of legs in Bombas Everyday Compression Socks and a backpack\" width=\"879\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-05-at-10.03.35-AM_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1120469\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Author<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, I was thrilled at how my body felt. Throughout my entire life, I\u2019ve gotten what I call \u201cleg aches\u201d and often have to pop an ibuprofen to ease the discomfort. So, I normally arrive at my destination feeling restless with calf pain. But not this day\u2014I walked into the Venice airport relaxed and ready to beat my impending jet lag.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How they feel during workouts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Running is far from my favorite activity, so if there\u2019s anything I can do to make it easier on my body, I\u2019m here for it. \u201cOne benefit a lot of people are unaware of is that compression socks can dampen the muscle vibration that occurs during running,\u201d says Dr. Baird. \u201cThis may decrease muscle fatigue and lessen post-exercise soreness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1120475\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1120475\" style=\"width: 870px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1120475 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"Closeup of legs in Bombas Performance Compression Socks and sneakers\" width=\"870\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bonmbas-Performance-Compression-Socks_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1120475\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Author<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>So, obviously, I wanted to see for myself and took the Bombas\u2019 Performance socks on a road run. These socks have a higher compression rating, and as soon as I put them on, my feet started to tingle. It took me a few wears to get accustomed to the sensation: My entire leg feels like it&#8217;s in a blood pressure cuff, especially around my forefoot, ankle, and top of the calf.<\/p>\n<p>While I still feel immense relief every time I take them off, my legs thank me the next day when my persistent calf soreness is quietly absent. But most impressively, my feet were pain-free the morning after breaking in a new pair of boots on a 10-mile city walk (and yes this counts as a workout in my book).<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: It looks like I have a new must-pack item.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
