Does anyone actually wear them apart from me?

I'm a reasonably fit 34yo with no known risk indicators but always wear them and feel like a strange maiden Aunt donning them at the gate...

Yes and I find them very comfortable, don't do it for safety reasons, I just find my feet and legs feel a lot better after a long flight when I wear them.

I've recently purchased some Skinz tights for running....

And in the literature I see one can also use them form long flights. Am doing NZ in Feb next year, so might give them a go.

(it's not a good look tbh wink )

On short haul I don't but on longer flights I always put on the ones you get in the bag of 'complimentary stuff' I usually get my shoes off shortly after boarding and wear the socks over my normal socks as my feet get cold otherwise.

No idea if these ones help with DVT or not though.
