Swiftwick- ASPIRE ZERO Running & Cycling Socks

These socks are superb, fit great and keep my feet dry and are super comfortable and lightweight.

Have tried three different pairs of socks now, two of which were more expensive and thicker than these.This most recent Spartan race was soaking wet with tons of elevation change and my feet were in significantly better shape while using the same shoes as the previous races. The only variable that changed were the socks and I'm going to stick with these from now on because of the made a huge improvement. Material was perfect and it turns out that the thinner sock reduced the amount of water retained inside my Speedcross shoes and the thinner sock meant my foot has less play inside the shoe, which I didn't expect in advance.These are really great.

You do not like so that fall down in my shoes and these socks don’t fall down in my shoes. I Love these socks they’re durable they last time they feel so good on your feet and give your feet a lot of support

After a LOT of searching, money wasted and more blisters than you could ever imagine, I've FINALLY found *the* perfect running socks...for me!I'm a neutral runner - medium arch, no pronating, etc, but I would ALWAYS begin to get hot spots after mile 3-4, right on the ball of my foot, about 1" under my big toe. If I kept going another 1/2 - 1 mile? BLISTER CITY.I tried all the lubes - Aquaphor, BodyGlide, Vaseline...nothing helped. I'd blister right through the lube, but at least my feet were soft. My foot sweat and lube seemed to form some kind of weird paste (like Ross and the lotion/powder leather pants incident), and would NOT wash out in the laundry.I tried keeping my feet dry - Anti-Monkey Butt Powder (awesome stuff, but not for blister prevention), Monistat's Anti-Chafing Powder Gel (totally a dead ringer for Smashbox's Makeup Primer), but again...BLISTERS. Plus, all of the powder poofing out of my shoes made me feel like Lindsay Lohan. It too made a paste :(I even tried duct tape, which just left my feet coated in that gray-black "Band-Aid goo". Never again.I tried wicking socks, going through Balegas, Thorlos and any kind of sock with the words "DRY" anywhere on them. Again, blisters. The Thorlo Experias were nicely padded, which were really soft and comfortable when I WASN'T running. Once moving, that padding just seemed to accelerate the hot spotting and blistering.Finally, my running coach suggested Swiftwick, after hearing me whine and moan about the sad state of my grape-like feet. My local running shop was out of my size, so I ordered on Amazon and the socks arrived the very next day (thank you, Prime!). I immediately put them on (no lubes, no powders) and knocked out a 5 mile evening run with no foot issues whatsoever. I've since bought 5 more pair and thrown out all of my other socks - I haven't had a single blister or hot spot yet, even after 10 miles.The Swiftwicks are TIGHT, which is good. No fabric rubbing around means no friction, which means no blisters. The fabric is nice and stretchy, and wicks GREAT. They don't stretch out or shrink in the laundry (wash them inside out). The only downside is the price, but the price is honestly comparable to many other brands of running sock!

I ordered a medium according to size chart should have bought large arch support is great

I wore them in 3 races, and they felt great.

I've been wearing Swiftwick Aspire Zero for years as a workout sock. I love this new version that has a tab on the back. So many shoes theses days seem to have a high back so these prevent any rubbing against your upper heel. The Aspire Zeros are super comfortable. They do NOT squeeze your arches with compression. They hold snuggly to your feet without any slippage. You never even think about them as they do not slide, roll or bunch up. They keep my feet cool and dry. I just love them. My husband tried to get me to switch to his new brand but there was no way! Now he's back to MY brand - Swiftwick. : )

Socks are awesome. I’ve had for a year and no holes. I love the fit, and how thin they are.

nice
