Best socks for when taking off shoes (and compression socks)

[Anonymous]

Female, 43. I'm flying to Asia and will be entering a lot of homes, taking off shoes. I wear pants. I need socks that will look good, keep me warm on cold floors and am also considering buying compression socks for the long flights (though I don't normally wear compression socks.) Any advice on brands or types? Thanks

Columbia crew socks are comfortable and have cushion.

Bombas are popular but I have not tried them.

I love Smartwool socks for everyday.

Wellow works well for compression socks for flights.

I really like the Dr Motion ones available on Amazon and in DSW stores.

They don't care about your socks unless it has holes in them. Just make sure they are clean.

I'm east Asian and just back from there visiting family.

When you get compression socks, make sure you get the ones with the feet, so the whole sock, not just the ones for your calves.

I wore one just for the calves on a long haul , and omg, the area just below the sock above my feet were so swollen. I'll never do that again.

Remember that the floors in Korea (and Japan I think too) are heated - that’s the system there) so don’t worry about cold feet so much.

I hate how much I love Bombas - both regular and compression socks. I wish I could say they are not worth the price but I reach for my Bombas socks over the Smartwool and other brands every time.

That's helpful, thanks!
