Vitalsox Compression VT1211, Large

On 2016 I purchased seven pairs of Vitalsox after having suffered from swelling legs. Eight years after I am still using them, they look great and still perform very well. I work on my feet and most of the time do long hour shifts. It is remarkable that after eight years these socks still look and perform great. Out of the fourteen individual socks only one has developed a small hole in the ankle area but considering the use and abuse I have put them through these socks are nothing short of amazing in terms of performance and durability. I have purchased much more expensive compression socks of very well known brands, some costing me over $40 per pair and I still prefer the Vitalsox, not to mention that nothing I have ever purchased have lasted this long. I just ordered a few more pairs of Vitalsox because the eight years old socks have certainly lost a bit of the compression strength but quite honestly is has been minimal and by the way they still look and feel I would assume they can go for a few more years, impressive to say the least. Simply put I no longer waste time and money trying anything else. When I order these I know exactly what I am getting and through the years they have more than exceeded my expectations. Another thing I love about these socks is that they are very comfortable around the toes. They don't have the extra fabric many socks have in the extremity of the toes that often results in pain and discomfort. I read reviews of people complaining that these are too tight and difficult to put in. Please keep in mind these are compression socks. They need to feel tight otherwise they wouldn't be compression socks and inheritably they will be more difficult to put on than regular socks but that's the way it is supposed to be. Any sock claiming that it is a compression sock and that it is also very easy to put on would be questionable to me. All and all these are simply the best socks I have owned. They perform great, look of great quality and the durability is simply mind blowing. These are the real deal!
