Description
No-one wants to start their holiday, or work through a business trip, with cankles – particularly if you were planning to wear shorts or a skirt. But take any long journey where you aren’t moving around for several hours, and you risk swollen ankles and tired, aching legs – or even worse. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is always a threat that goes along with long haul flights; long periods of inactivity or sitting in cramped conditions, such as on an aircraft, can hamper the normal circulation of blood, leading to it pooling in your feet, ankles and legs.Milkteds® Travel Compression Socks gently support circulation, with graduated compression to 18-22 mm Hg, British Standard Class II, and provide a massage to the feet, encouraging blood flow upwards as it should be and leaving you feeling lighter, with a spring in your step rather than the symptoms of travel legs.Better yet, Milkteds® feel fabulous on your legs. They are the first compression socks to be made using revolutionary milk fibre fabric, derived from simple, pure drinking milk. The resulting fabric is naturally infused with amino acids that are skin nourishing and softening, also making Milkteds® very healthy for your legs. Milkteds® are breathable and hygrosopic, meaning they can absorb and wick away moisture, sanitising and anti-microbal too, keeping bacteria under control.UK designed and manufactured in Italy, Milkteds® are seamless, with a 3D knit that incorporates micro massage fabric technology on the soles to stimulate the foot. The socks are made with comfortable ‘Stay-Put’ non-constricting cuffs and hand linked toes for smooth seams. Heel and toe reinforcement keeps Milkteds® going for miles for wear.Milkteds® are much easier to put on compared to other compression socks. You can pull Milkteds® on much like any normal sock, just roll them on and work progressively up the foot and leg, adjusting to your lower leg length by smoothing downwards once in place, trying to avoid any folds or creases.Milkteds® elasticity and compression factor can be maintained by regular washing, preferably by hand, using a wash bag and in cold water with gentle soap, or machine washed on a 30° gentle wash cycle with mild detergent. Do not Iron or dry clean, and avoid fabric conditioners or bleach. Milkteds® are best replaced after three months of regular use (or six months of occasional use) to maintain the correct level of compression.Travellers should endeavour to move, flex and rotate feet and ankles every 30 minutes, and take a short walk if possible, in addition to wearing your Milkteds® Travel Compression Socks. Remember to drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids.Available in a range of colours, why not wear Milkteds® throughout your trip, helping keep legs light and energised every day? Milkteds® come packaged in a stylish milk carton design box.(04/15)
