The Swiftwick Aspire Seven Socks are knit in Tennessee of Olefin yarns. Olefin is a lightweight polypropylene fiber that wicks moisture to keep your feet dry. Dry feet mean less chafing and blisters. Additionally, the Olefin is hydrophobic so that it won’t absorb moisture from the outside. The footbed is cushioned and conforms to the shape of your arch with a knit-in nylon and spandex arch support. This thicker knit gradually becomes a channeled upper that acts as a subtle compression sock, helping to improve blood flow through your extremities.

In my mind, there are only two real options when it comes to socks, Swiftwick Aspires or Swiftwick Visions. The aspire, which this review will focus on, is a compressive sock that fixes any of the "burning toe" sensation that I have dealt with in the past. The cuff length at 7 inches looks super pro and they last FOREVER. I have pairs that are a couple years old and look almost new, totally worth the investment. Sizing: I wear a size 42 in specialized & giro shoes which ends up being a size 9 in running shoes and got the medium. That was definitely the correct choice.

Less than optimal socks actually bother me. That includes height, colour, level of compression and their ability to stay up. I believe Swiftwick may have made the best sock I’ve ever worn. They offer a variety of heights, although I wear mine high. Colours are simple and effective (white for road, black for gravel and MTB). Compression and their ability to stay up is outstanding. An outstanding product that I’ll continue to buy over all other brands. I’ve found my sock brand for life.

Swiftwick is the BEST! I've been wearing them for years for cycling, running, and daily use. If they happen to get wet, they dry super quick. There is also an added touch of minimal padding in the right places. Swiftwick has stole my heart in the sock department.

These Swiftwick socks are super durable. Slowly converting my entire cycling sock collection to this model. The compression on this sock is the perfect amount, and the 7” cuff provides nice brush protection on the trails.

Maybe the best? At least as good as Assos, definitely better than Defeet. The only other sock that stands out in my mind as competitive is the Giro Hrc Team. Stay tuned for updates....

Title says it all. Can't go wrong with Swiftwick! Makes your feet happy even on those long, hot rides.

I love these socks. They are the perfect thickness to be slightly cushioning and also vented well. I use them to run and to cycle in and they do great. I've have them for a couple months and they have held up really well. I like the length although that is very much a personal preference. Kinda the same height as Nike dri fit socks if that helps at all.

If you're the type that says "I draw the line when it comes to buying "Cycling" socks", let me be the first one to tell you that you should give Swiftwick socks a try...If I'm wrong, then return them. Most compression sock manufacturers focus on the heel to the knee. What I dig about Swiftwick is their love for feet and making a sock that helps blood-flow in your foot. You can read more about Managed Compression on Swiftwick's website. Here's the reason I choose these socks over others in my sock drawer: COMFORT My foot is between two different sizes in most cycling shoes, the fact that Swiftwick ASPIRE socks are designed with their contour focused stitching through 200 needle construction, allows me to fit perfectly in both my mountain bike shoes and my road shoes. On a side note: These are definitely the first socks I reach for when I dig around my sock drawer. I, like most of you, have a drawer dedicated to my Cycling socks. My other socks from the days before I discovered Swiftwick go completely neglected and have dust on them. It's come to the point where I love these socks so much, that I use them for any highfalutin affair. Whether I'm on a bike, hiking, or sportin the socks with sandals, the Swiftwick Sevens are what I wear everytime! FACT. PROS: + Made in America - Enough Said. I'd buy Swiftwick for this reason alone. + My feet can breathe and don't come out looking like prunes after a long ride + My entire foot gets to benefit from Compression + No color fading after 100+ washes + Socks are not stretched out after 100+ rides Do yourself, and the guy riding behind you, a favor... buy these bad boys.

Swiftwick socks are simply the best. We should all have the pleasure of staying extremely comfortable and cool on summer rides, while honing enviously high tan lines that tuck perfectly under the calf muscles. Cover up those achilles and put these in your sock drawer.

Swiftwick socks are fantastic. Nice and snug to your leg, no sliding up and down., and durable to withstand many wash cycles. It is one of those socks that you could feasibly buy 2-3 pairs and rotate those through consistently and not see the sock break down. For those of you that wear out socks and take pride in it... Good luck wearing these ones out... Happy cruising out there!

These socks are perfect. Fits true to size, perfectly around the feet and, most amazing, they last forever. Really.

I've used swiftwick socks for the past 3 years almost exclusively. I searched and searched for the best running sock I could to avoid blisters while running. Probably tried 15 different socks before I discovered these, which was ridiculously expensive to figure out. I just needed something that wicked well to kep my feet dry, fit snuggly even after lots of use/washes, and something that had the right amount of slip inside my shoe to keep my feet from blistering. After three years of high usage, I finally had one pair wear out. I also love these for cycling. I recommended these to one of my buddies to try for long distance hiking, and he also has fallen in love with them. I can't recommend them enough.

I have had consistent hot spots during long rides. I switched to these socks before a multi day stage race in hopes that they would provide some relief. The compression has been just enough that the hot spots have been noticeably reduced and late race foot cramps have completely disappeared.

I own multiple pairs of the Swift Wick socks and I keep coming back for the consistency and durability. Ive never had the Aspire blow out, ever, or get loose. On the flip side, the compression that keeps them together is not overbearing. Made in the USA is also a great reason to purchase.

I bought these based on some other swiftwick socks I have & love thinking they were the same. The others were merino like & a bit more padded. I like them better but these are nice. The height is good as they provide some support to you calves but are not too tall i.e. over the calf. They dry quickly & don't seem to get too stinky... I'm a solid 10.5 & the large is perfect sizing. I would buy them again - they just were not what I was expecting.

Need Socks to give you best Cyclist tan line, these are them, they look cool, stay up, and keep your feet feeling great. The white ones hold stains if you happen to get them really muddy and then wash and dry them. I have been replacing my entire sock drawer with Swiftwick

Very comfy and fit excellent. I like the long profile and they look cool too. They stay tight and cozy the entire ride and through the rest of the day as well.
