Great during pregnancy

i've worn these socks on a long haul flight and my legs and ankles were not swollen one bit. I'm 18 weeks pregnant with a varicose vein and find the socks also work brilliant on a daily basis. I've bought several pairs!

Very comfortable

These socks arrived very quickly, have to admit when I first got them out of the packet I thought they were never going to fit but they did and are very comfortable, I haven't flown yet but have worn them around the house and am very pleased with them. Will buy more and recommended them and your company. Thank you.

First experience

I have purchased socks in anticipation of flights to Australia to visit my family.

I found that the advice, support and information on both the website and 'phone was helpful and professional. My questions were answered promptly and courteously.

I have already passed the VitalActive link on to my family and friends.

    Original Super Fit

    My measurements were outside those on the standard chart and had to call for further advice. The advice I received was very professional whilst being friendly and non-judgemental. The socks themselves, whilst tricky to put on, were well worth the effort and money. No more swollen ankles and feet for me after flying. Would recommend these to anyone. Thank you so much.

      VR - Original Super-Fit

      Bought these to help with a swollen calf and ankle caused by varicose veins. They have made my leg look and feel normal again. Comfortable to wear and thin enough to wear under my normal sock. Seems to be a top quality product and well worth the money.

        VR - Original Super-Fit

        Took a while to review these as I wanted to give my opinion after wearing them as opposed to receiving them.

        They were very hard to put on at first, as they were so tight, but now, they're very comfortable. I suppose I'd got used to my old hospital socks, that after about 10+ years were getting loose, and forgot how tight new one's were.

        Delivery was very quick. Received mine in a few days from order.

        Overall, yes, I would recommend this company & this product.

          Feedback on Vital Active Sock

          I'm really please with these socks. The services was excellent, indeed I even received a call to discuss my original order (i.e. based on my measurements), which resulted in a change in socks that I received. The socks themselves have relieved the ankle and calf swelling I usually get when sat on flights or in all-day meetings, and I'm planning to order more.

                  QUALITY SREVICE AND PRODUCT

                  Ordered a pair of socks for my husband who has damage to one of his ankles causing swelling. I ordered a different type and received a call from a gentleman who asked a few questions regarding the use and who would be using them and was advised that the type ordered would probably not be the best. I was very impressed as this saved me buying yet another pair which were to difficult for my husband to get over his rather large calves. I am now about to order another 2 pair as he is so very impressed with the service and the comfort of these socks.

                    How to feel better.

                    It was with interest that I tried your Compression socks. I first bought some from Boots the Pharmacey. I found that one size fits all which is their approach didn't suit me. Your initial 2 pairs were so good I purchased 3 more.

                    I find from your product I feel in myself so much better,sleep better,more energy,in fact I wish I had known about you years ago. Thank you.

                      Bar original super fit, navy

                      After buying and using some "Off the shelf" flights socks, they bring back bad memories on a trip to Oz. We had to remove them in the end as they were so tight behind the knee we thought they would cause more harm than good.

                      I have been advised again by a consultant that it would be a good idea on another trip to Oz in a few weeks to wear them for ankle swelling I always get when flying.

                      So, I did research and stumbled across this website which I am very impressed with. I have picked the original super fit socks purely because they were the only ones I could have in navy. (I want to co-ordinate)! They did seem a bit expensive to me at

                              They feel ok.

                              This is my first pair of flight socks, bought to wear on a 12hr flight. I chose them because they offered different calf sizes. I have tried them on but not worn them for any length of time. They fit well, although it was difficult to open them up enough to pull them over my foot. If my arthritis was worse I don't know if I could have pulled them on. I have deducted one star because the seam round the toe is a little uncomfortable.

                                  Bought some socks a few years ago for use whilst flying but ended up using them recently for when I'm driving on long trips. Very good socks which ensure ones ankles don't get swollen. More impressive though was the service. I ordered a different type and had a call from someone who posed me a few questions and recommended I stuck with these ones. If only bigger companies cared about their customers health as much as this one we would have much more confidence in buying online.

                                    A huge thank you

                                    Dear Compression Advisory,



                                    I would like to say a huge thank you for your help in supplying very satisfactory compression socks.

                                    When a leg ulcer was diagnosed, compression socks were prescribed as a method of reducing the risk of further ulcers in the future.

                                    Having found your website, I was very impressed with the range of colours and types of sock available.



                                    Barrington was extremely helpful in identifying the most suitable range and I have been thoroughly impressed and worn the VR gctech socks on a daily basis ever since.



                                    As a member of the clergy, I was particularly pleased that I could buy socks to match the liturgical seasons of the church.

                                    So my green socks for Ordinary time and red for special saints days, the socks keep me standing at the font and the graveside and are a valuable talking point in the parish.



                                    I look forward to ordering some purple socks for Advent!



                                    Thank you very much and kind regards.

                                      Having just been discharged from hospital after total knee replacement surgery the hospital stockings were so uncomfortable that I was considering not wearing them. Then I found your product on the internet. The customer service was excellent, actually talking to someone who took measurements to ensure the right size etc. Having determined which product was for me I was pleasantly surprised when my new compression socks arrived the next day. I cannot express how happy I was to have a comfortable pair of socks where my toes were not sticking out of the bottom. In fact I was so impressed that I ordered more and now have 5 pairs. I would highly recommend these and am delighted that I found them.

Your compression socks have been a godsend. After a day or two you don't even realise you're wearing them. Can't recommend them enough.

I'd had varicose vein surgery 10 years ago and it had left me with a swollen foot, ankle and leg, and 'leaky veins.' I 'trialled ' them on a long car journey this weekend and couldn't believe how comfortable they were. I wore them all day and that evening, my foot and ankle were a much more 'normal' size.

                                                                  I haven't worn them yet but tried them on for size, they fit perfect,not too tight but you know you have them on. I ordered these because I have large legs and ordinary ones just don't fit, so it was nice to find someone who makes them for larger people. I have a long flight to Japan in the summer so hopefully they will be fine. I will be ordering some for my daughter when she gets home from uni, I just need to measure her up. Thank you

He has very fragile skin and the ones available from the chemist were too rough and difficult to put on. He thinks these are brilliant and extremely comfortable causing him no problems at all and reducing the swelling in his legs and feet as promised. The service is excellent and very supportive.

The sizing provides accurate fit and comfort and although I'm just received them (next day delivery) they are very comfortable and will hopefully do the job. Can't recommend the service enough. Thank you.

I am a size 16 shoe so cannot buy 'off the shelf', he advised size S3 would be sufficient. I bought one pair and they are very comfortable although supportive at the same time, very pleased with these.

                                                                                            I have now ordered another pair for myself and a pair for my wife.

In fact, I just threw the others out! These are very effective against swelling and leg fatigue, and now they come in colors, which is great. They are also much easier to put on than other brands. I wear these every day, with VR ProPlus Recovery when I need something extra. A great, useful product.

I bought two pairs of the recommended socks and didn't seem able to get them on. I called to query the size and after a further check was told that the size sent was correct. There was also a link sent tome for U Tube which showed how to correctly put the socks on. I then managed to put them on and they are very comfortable. Suggest maybe the company encloses simplified instructions to put the socks on.

It was my first experience of compression flight socks. I normally suffer from swollen feet/legs. The socks worked a treat. Yes, they were tight to put on but that's the whole point. I also put them over my short socks, but they were fine. Beautiful green colour looked great! Fast, efficient delivery. Would definately recommend.

I have bought other flight socks in the past but have found them too tight at the knee which troubled me. These gave good support exactly where you needed them to but were comfortable at the knee. I wore them for the whole 23 hr journey and was comfortable the whole time. Having them made to measure made all the difference. Well worth the money for the comfort and peace of mind

However, If your legs are going to be seen and you want to appear 'normal' for special occasions, then I would choose the Clara 140. I must say that VitalActive are great at working out the size you need from the measurements you give them.

They are comfortable, non-binding, very supportive and _much_ easier to put on than the heavy off-the-shelf travel socks sold elsewhere. They are worth the price. The color selection is very welcome, too!

Considering that on our return journey I wore them for over 30 hours, they were far more comfortable than any other pair of compression socks that I've had before and didn't feel tight round my ankles. The only negative was the rather large seam around the toes which was a bit hard & prominent. Hopefully this will flatten with use.

                                                                                                                                    I recently contacted vital active by telephone for information about their socks. The person I spoke to was most helpful and asked the reason I wanted the socks, so I explained to him that I recently had heart surgery and would be travelling to Thailand in November and that I have oedema. His advice was excellent, he obviously knew his subject and advised me on what to buy. Now I have NHS support socks standard black issue, but I can hardly go to the beach with shorts and black socks !! I can already hear the cries of expat regulars shouting NHS NHS ! So for my trip I shall be acquiring a couple of pairs of socks which should go well with my khaki shorts. In the mean time I am wearing around the house a nice red pair of vr original superfit, which arrived quickly by free post. Today I ordered a pair of Oxford socks in subtle hooped colours.

                                                                                                                                    I can heartily endorse the excellent range of support socks and the help given to me on the telephone by the staff.

                                                                                                                                    I love these socks. I'm reassured that they're going to fit by the wonderful My Measurements section and they fit better than ones I was fitted for in the chemist.



                                                                                                                                    I would recommend them to anyone. They're comfortable, stylish, affordable and last better than what I was prescribed.

This versatile UK Class 1 sock is great for long-haul travel, rehabilitation from injury, daywear, sports recovery etc.
