2 days agoI Wore 1 Ankle Sock and 1 Compression Sock on a 15-hour Flight-and the Difference Shocked Me
Admittedly, it was my fault, and was the result of an experiment: What would happen if I only wore one knee-high compression sock on the 15-hour flight from Newark to Cape Town? On my other foot, I wore a regular ankle sock to see just how effective compression socks can be for circulation while in the air. Surely, after 10 years of flying across the Atlantic monthly for my career, my body has acclimated to spending hours at high altitudes-right?
