Flight Attendants Rave About These Now-$5 Compression Socks for Travel

The season of travel is upon us, and whether you’re flying, walking, or hiking to your next destination, compression socks are a must-have to help you unwind.

It seems Amazon shoppers got the memo since more than 8,000 of them already picked up a three-pack of these Charmking Knee-High Compression Socks this month. The socks have earned over 50,000 perfect ratings, plus a best-seller status to boot. And right now, you can snag the multipack on sale, where each pair is under $5.

The socks have a pressure level of 15 to 20 millimeters of mercury, which gently compress your feet, ankles, and calves to reduce swelling and promote oxygen and blood flow through your legs. Still, the socks are designed with comfort in mind: They’re made from a soft and stretchy fabric that’s flexible yet durable, which makes them easy to move in.

The material is also breathable, so you can wear them outside without getting too stuffy this summer. Even better, the socks are machine-washable for easy care, though many reviewers note that they prefer to let them air-dry to help maintain their stretch and compression.

The brand states that the compression socks can provide relief to people with certain circulatory conditions, pregnant people, and folks that generally spend a lot of time on their feet, like athletes and teachers. “I’m a nurse and these help keep my legs from throbbing after a long 12-hour shift,” one reviewer shared.

They’re also great for frequent fliers — one of PEOPLE Shopping’s Hawaii-based editors uses them for her many trips to the mainland. “These help keep swelling down while I’m working as a flight attendant,” another Amazon customer wrote.

Whether you plan to plop down on an airplane or walk for miles this summer, pick up this multipack of Charmking Knee-High Compression Socks while it’s on sale to take the pressure off of your legs.
