I bought the seconds. Quality, 5 stars. Well made and seem very resistant to wear. For me personally, 3 to 4 stars. I have a 10 1/2 size foot that is EEE, so it is wide. And also thick. Also, I have neuropathy. I found your socks to be like my compression socks. I bought the larger size and found that the length was good. The slight balooning at the toes kept my toes from being cramped, but the arch area was pretty tight. I have worn them and will continue to wear them but I am concerned that they will be sometimes be uncomfortable. If they came in white or light grey, I would choose that color if I ordered again. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
