These circulation-enhancing socks earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because they provided the most accurate compression and were the most comfortable. The socks were analyzed by a hosiery compression-testing center and The Best socks provided the most accurate, proper compression that was tighter around the ankle and 87% looser at the calf, unlike lesser socks that actually increased compression by 42% at the calf. Panelists wore the socks for eight hours and The Best socks were lauded for being "very light" and they "never felt itchy" unlike lesser models that were "very itchy" or "too tight." The Best Circulation Enhancing Travel Socks are made from a breathable, antibacterial polyester blend that wicks away moisture and keeps feet cool and dry, leading one panelist to say "My feet stayed dry all day even though I was wearing boots." Machine wash and dry. Black or Brown.
