What People Are Saying

I run 60 to 100 miles a week, I live in the humid low country so no matter what socks I wore or how new my shoes were, if I ran more that 6-7 miles I would get blisters. I thought it was just something I was going to have to live with if i wanted to run. I went to my local running store, Palmetto Running Company, to get a pair of shoes for an upcoming marathon. They advised me to get a pair of Swiftwick’s to try. They worked great! Not only did I not get any more blisters, but the ones I had started to go away =) I no longer wear any other brand for longer runs. Swiftwick is the only brand I will buy now.

I was wearing Smartwool Phd Outdoor Light Minis and a friend of mine at Big Peach introduced me to Swiftwick a few months back, and my life has not been the same since. I Trail run 3 days a week and the performance I get from my Swiftwick’s is what I expect from my gear: nothing but the best! I have high expectations from the gear I put on from head to toe and my Swiftwick’s have not let me down. I can perform at my best knowing my feet are in good hands with my Swiftwick’s on for the duration of my training. I look forward to wearing my Swiftwick’s and I will spread the word that there is nothing else like them.

I went into Fleet Feet and asked for socks that are tight and comfortable, ones that wouldn't slip in my shoes (especially at my heal), or make my feet sweat. The salesman told me about these new socks that they just got in that weren't even on the shelf yet - Swiftwick. He got a pair for me from the back. I tried them on and it was instant sock-love. I have been searching for a sock exactly like yours. Thank you for making my feet so happy! I bought three pairs! I have never written a company before to tell them how happy I am with a product - but you had to know!

The first time I tried out a pair of Swiftwick socks was at a 10k sponsored by the local athletics shop. As a promotional item, the shop was giving out a pair of socks to the runners and my older sister seemed to be thrilled. Though I prefer to run with minimalist shoes and didn't really wear socks, her fervent endorsements of the Swiftwick compression socks lead me to try them out. What a difference they made! While usual socks were almost impossible to wear in my running shoes, Swiftwick socks fit perfectly and completely eliminated the blistering that came with longer runs. Also, by wearing socks, I don't have to worry about my shoes starting to stink!

Nothing is worse than blisters from cruddy socks. Thanks, Swiftwick, for making great products that will stand up to long runs in the Alabama sun.

I love your socks! I've been wearing Swiftwicks since August of last year and they are great. Just started trail running back in December and you're wool socks are perfect. I love that when I run through some water and my feet get wet, they are dry again a few minutes later. I even wear the wool socks during distance races and long runs for added cushion.

I started running in May 2008. As I added mileage, I acquired the necessary "gear" a runner needs. I bought better shoes, better shorts, wicking shirts, etc. I just could not find running socks I really liked. The socks I bought were adequate, but weren't always the best option for the longer runs. I went to Fleet Feet in Birmingham to buy some shoes. While there, I told the owner that I was struggling to find the ideal running socks and assumed what I wanted just didn't actually exist. He asked if I had tried Swiftwick and I said no. He told me to try a pair to see how they worked out. I came back in the store after that Saturday's long run and bought 5 more pair. I like the thinner socks and have never had an issue with my Swiftwicks. In fact, I eventually got rid of all of my other running socks!

I am an experienced marathon runner and sweat an extreme amount in comparison to others. My issue is that my socks get heavy from retaining sweat and moisture while training on long runs and marathons. My close friend sent me pair of Swiftwick socks for Christmas and I have worn them for 2 marathons and numerous 18-22 mile runs since. I have not experience any issues. My feet are soft and dry at the end of each run and I have not had to wring out my socks after. I have tried Thorlo, Balega, and many other brands with no such success. Thank you.

I was given a pair of Swiftwick socks to try out when I bought a pair of shoes at my local running store and I will never wear "regular" socks again. My feet feel great and remain blister free mile after mile. I don't know what you guys and gals have done, but there's no reason why anyone should be wearing socks other than Swiftwicks.

I work at the Pentagon and in the winter we end up doing a lot of indoor exercising. For spin class there isn't the normal breeze one would get while cycling so I was ending up with a lot of sweat on my feet/shoes. My Swiftwick ultrathin’s really help keep my feet dry and foot issues to a minimum. Thanks!

Going into the Ragnar my Achilles tendon was inflamed, I was concerned because in my training the longest distance I could run was 6 miles and my first leg was 9 miles. At the Ragnar Expo, I talked with the Swiftwick team and decided to give them a try. I finished my leg in a good time running the whole distance. The Swiftwick compression sock supported my Achilles and calf, enabling me to run all three legs and contribute to a great team experience.

I am extremely impressed with the compression capabilities of the Swiftwick socks. I just come off of a 6-week break from a stress fracture and jumped right back in to 7 straight days of race (Pikes Peak Ascent followed by the 6-day stage race known as the Gore-Tex Trans Rockies Run). I wore the Swiftwick twelve and podium socks pretty much the whole week. They helped to reduce soreness, increase recovery time and keep me running hard day after day. By far the best socks I have ever pulled on in my life.

Love, love, love them! Make my runs so much more enjoyable and comfortable. I have really bad ankles and the extra bit of support they give my feet make all the difference!

I bought a pair of Swiftwicks for my first marathon (2011 Outer Banks, NC) in eight years. Swiftwick socks combined with compression stockings helped me not only run a 3:57 (smoking fast for me, and 50 minutes faster than my previous marathon), but also recover surprisingly quickly. By that evening I was chasing my two year old around, and by the next day I felt almost back to "normal". I truly believe that Swiftwick socks contributed to my recovery, and to my running the marathon blister-free (another first for me). Thanks for making great socks!

The first time I ran with Swiftwick socks it was an amazing feeling! They wicked away the excess moisture and made the run really comfortable! They are great!

Your socks really have the right amount of compression and wickability. You just don't have to worry about your feet while wearing Swiftwicks.

I’m really liking the Aspire line of socks. Is so interesting that I have favorite socks for different usages. When training I’m still a fan of the performance line because of the support to the arches, top of the foot and ankle. They remind me of a lightweight elastic ankle support brace. When traveling on long trips and international flights the wool 12” are heavenly. When going about my non training day to day activities the aspire line is definitely sleek and cool footwear.

The Aspires have been awesome in competition. My feet don't get hot from too much material, sweat is wicked away from my foot but not absorbed by the sock to make it heavy, and the one inch just stays in place. The main reason though is because every time I've had them on in competition I don't even know it. I never have to think about my socks slipping, bunching, or creating blisters.

Your socks really have the right amount of compression and wickability. You just don't have to worry about your feet while wearing Swiftwicks.

Got a pair of 4's for cycling... loved them... got two more... love them more... only wear 4's and nothing else. No other sock feels as good or performs as well. Started running in them... love them for running too... thanks for making such a great product.

I kept getting blisters from running so I went to a running store to find out what socks they recommended to help. All the employees HIGHLY recommended the Swiftwick socks. I couldn't believe that such thin socks would actually work. After my first run with them, I fell in LOVE! My feet did not get hot, I did not get any blisters. I have recommended these socks over and over now. I can't run in anything else!

I have been a fan of Swiftwick socks for several years. I began using them for running, but after realizing how great they were I began using them as an everyday sock. I wear them with all types of footwear, from athletic shoes to western boots. I tell all my friends that they should be using them too. There are a lot of choices but none better than Swiftwick. You have a customer for life with me.
