Swiftwick- ASPIRE TWO Running & Cycling Socks, Lightweight, Compression Fit

Just finished a half ironman in 90 degree weather in these, and they were fantastic. Usually I'll change socks between the bike and run, but these felt great and I wore them for both parts. No blisters, no weird seams to rub. They stayed up and didn't bunch inside the shoes. The compression is helpful for foot fatigue and swelling as well. Honestly, I didn't even think about my socks the whole time, which is great. Yes, they're expensive. I could get a 6 pack of cheap socks for less than one pair of these. But to me it's well worth it to not get blisters and for my feet to be cool and dry on long runs and rides.

If possible i would give this product a5+ rating. In my experience nothing else comes close. I use these socks primarily for golf. Not only do they look and feel great they are so robust. Other socks wear out fast because of the friction within the shoe. Not so for these socks. I have a lot of these white colour ones for wearing with shorts. I also have dark coloured ones for using with long trousers. I also run about 20miles a week and love these socks for running, yet appreciate that for running there are other socks that also perform well. In summary I love them!Please note they are compression socks, which takes a little getting used to and maybe are not for everybody. My experience with this compression aspect was that it took maybe two wears to get used to the different feel compared with normal socks. I now don't even think about it - to me they are very comfortable to wear for up to 6 hours (and whilst I have not needed to try it - I feel I could use them all day).One tip - buy a bigger size than normal. I take a US Size 12 shoe and I buy the extra large socks.

I bought these socks because we do 5K marathon’s often. Frequently, I would get blisters on the backside of my heel. These socks removed that issue! They are great for wicking moisture and are very comfortable! I have two pair, and will use these from now on. Good product.

Love these socks. Perfect fit for my men’s10. Not too tight on the piggies, but not bunching up either. Perfect thickness for my tastes. Wear them for everyday, even for dressier occasions with slacks since I buy the black color and the white logo is pretty low key. Also wear them for running - everyday training miles up to Ultra distance. Again, perfect thickness and fit for protection and blister prevention but tiny enough to be cool and stay smooth under shoes. Tend to last a long time, years even, but eventually the elastic properties wear out and they lose their perfect fit, ultimately getting a hole in the heel or toe.

Really good performance socks.

The package says it all: Light Cushion, Firm Compression, Moisture Wicking -- plus seamless and perfect ankle height. I plan to use these for fitness/weight training. Could have gone with the Swiftwick Flite XT, but I prefer the Aspire line's firmer compression and quarter-crew height (vs no-show or crew).The Amazon product page is rather vague about other details, so I will share: Fabric content is 69% Nylon, 27% Olefin, 4% Spandex (Elasthane). Machine wash COLD, tumble dry LOW, no bleach, no iron.My (women's) shoe size is 8.5 / 39-40 Euro, and the size chart was exactly right. Kinda pricey at $16/pair, but glad I found these.

These socks have the weakest threads in the toe area. I've worn holes on my first run in two pairs of these socks. My other socks don't do this. Yes, I keep my toe nails trimmed and filed. Can't recommend these to anyone.UPDATE- Seller responded to this review and refunded my money.

The socks feels great, and I wear it for my morning runs. However for $16 I would have expected better quality. Barely 6-7 times of wearing and barely a month old the socks from the toe area is torn. I don’t have any sharp nails or long as I run frequently, so not sure how it tore. Below average quality.They sent me a new pair and it’s fantastic. Now these are the only socks I wear! Highly recommend

They seem ok .but the sizeing is very tight. I got the large but they feel pretty tight . I have a size 10 fit .

I really like these socks. So durable and non slip whether for my golf running or gym shoes. Great!
