Whether you’re going on holiday, taking a business trip or visiting friends, if you’re travelling long haul you should consider Scholl Flight Socks.
A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) can be caused when blood is not returning to the heart properly and gathers - or clots - in the lower limbs. Long periods of inactivity or sitting in cramped conditions (such as on an aircraft) can hamper the normal flow of blood as the process of returning blood to the heart from the legs is normally assisted by the movement of the leg muscles.
A DVT is not actually dangerous in itself, it's the complications arising from it that can be life-threatening. If the clot detaches itself from the veins and makes its way through the bloodstream to the lungs, you could suffer from chest pains which are exacerbated by breathing and, in some cases, the coughing up of blood. In rare instances, if the clot is large, it can travel to the heart and lungs, interrupt blood flow and result in sudden death.

| Directions |
You should wear your Scholl Flight Socks or Scholl Flight Socks Sheer throughout your journey, and not, necessarily only on your flight; you may have long distances to travel on one or both sides of your flight and should also wear them then.
Wear them in place of socks or hosiery and always ensure that they are pulled up to just below the knee. Try and make sure they are free of wrinkles and do not roll them down.

Why Scholl is unique…
Experts in foot health and comfort since 1904.
The name Scholl today is synonymous with feet and footcare in over 70 countries throughout the world.
But while the Scholl brand is familiar to many millions of people, few realise that it's named after the company's founder, Dr William Mathias Scholl, a man who made it his life-long mission to improve the health, comfort and well-being of people through their feet.
This heart-felt fascination with feet, this dedication and drive, formed the foundation of the company and the Dr Scholl spirit and legacy are as much a part of the brand today - 100 years on.
