Hi AllJust wondered if anyone like me has swollen ankles and feet due to their BP and / or Heart Meds and has had difficulty finding compression travel socks big enough.

If so, you might like to check out VitalActive at vitalactive.com, who I found recently, who do various sizes and also made-to-measure ones. If you call with your measurements they will advise the best-fit from their off the shelf ones, or tell you if you really need to have ones made.

Just thought with summer coming up some of you might have travel plans and may find this info useful.

Thank you 1234_6 . I hope someone will find this useful.

I’ve recently come back from a trip and this was the first time I wore compression socks as a precaution since my heart diagnosis. I’m a size 3-4, but as they didn’t cater for my feet, I had to get the 5-8. My feet didn’t swell going there, however, they did swell on the way back which I found odd.
