Advantages: Help prevent dvt Disadvantages: Look awful
Scholl flight socks
With all of the hype about these I am always amazed when i get onto an aeroplane that i seem to be about the only one wearing them. I know this because I see people in their shorts, although it's more tricky to decide on business flights when people are suited and booted.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
When on an aeroplane, the long periods of inactivity, combined with often cramped conditions and dehydration can cause circulatory problems including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). DVT risks increase as you get older, during pregnancyand with a previous history of blood clots, but it is recommended that everyone wears the socks unless medically advised against it.

Astroturf shoes can be purchased from most sports shoe retailers, and are no more expensive than your average pair of trainers. I think I paid £60 for mine at the start of last season, but I did buy a brand name (Adidas) for a change, and cheaper pairs are available.
