Jobst Travel Socks 15-20 mmHg Black Size 3

Jobst Travel socks are knee-high graduated compression socks made for long flights, bus trips and drives where you spend hours sitting still. The 15-20 mmHg compression is firmest at the ankle and eases off towards the knee, which helps keep blood moving and limits swelling in the feet and lower legs. A soft cotton blend keeps them breathable, and they pull on and look like an ordinary black sock. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Sizing

This listing is Size 3. Measure the narrowest part of the ankle and the widest part of the calf, ideally in the morning, and check both against the Jobst Travel size chart.

• Ankle circumference: 22-25cm
• Calf circumference: 33-43cm
• Approximate shoe size: AU/US women's 9.5-11, AU/US men's 8.5-10, EU 41-42

If your measurements fall between sizes, choose the size that matches your ankle measurement, or ask a pharmacist to help with fitting.

How to Use

• Turn the sock inside out down to the heel.
• Slip your foot in and ease the sock over the heel.
• Roll the rest of the sock up the leg a little at a time, turning it right side out as you go.
• Smooth out any creases with both hands. Rubber gloves can make this easier.

Put them on before you travel, ideally first thing in the morning.

Care

Wash daily or every second day with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach or stain remover. Roll in a towel to remove water instead of wringing, and dry away from heaters and direct sun.

Warnings

Speak to your doctor before use if you have peripheral arterial disease, diabetes with reduced sensation in the feet, heart failure or any skin condition on the legs. Remove the socks and seek advice if you notice pain, numbness, tingling or skin discolouration.
