Swiftwick Flite XT 5-- Not really Swiftwick Quality

Swiftwick Flite XT 5-- Not really Swiftwick Quality
Swiftwick has been my brand for years, All racing and training, work, travel and recovery. They had the best socks hands down. Race after race, I can honestly say the one thing I never once thought about, my feet.But now, In my opinion, swiftwick makes far too many models, variations, and I believe their quality control is slipping. I have a large tupperware filled to the brim with Swiftwick Pursuit 4's, 7's and 12's. I can compare those to the new models- and the new is thinner, and of a lesser quality. The Flite XT 5's are a great sock, comfy (although seem to run larger than normal) has the right amount of cushion for everyday use, but after one wash, hang dry, the threads are coming undone. I've literally worn these for 3 hours, and you can see the threads fraying from the sock. It could be just a defective sock, but I've never had this happen with Swiftwick. I will buy a few more and see if it's just this sock, and i will also drop to a medium, as the large seems to have extra fabric. Again, its fine for everyday use, but for running, riding, hiking or racing, I'd want the tighter fit because extra fabric will just cause blisters you get deeper into the journey.

    These socks are thin, but they feel great. The support is surprisingly good due to the sock thinness. They stay in place perfectly resting on your leg 4 to 4.5 inches above the ankle. It’s like you’re wearing no sock at all but, your foot is fully supported inside your shoe. Highly priced but worth the cost.

    Some of the swiftwick socks I have are serious compression socks, almost too hard to get on and off.

    These feel very close-fitting but not too tight-fitting. They are now my go-to swiftwick socks. The fact that they aren’t just black like my others makes it easier to tell them apart.

    These socks are amazing. They offer a snug, supportive fit. I have run in these and played a 90 minute soccer match and the socks have been great. No blisters, even when cutting on turf. I highly recommend them. As an added bonus, Swiftwick’s customer service team is amazing. They responded quickly when the socks didn’t arrive due to a postal service error. Great company to work with.

    Before washing, I was ready to give 5 stars and buy these socks for everyone I love. But after carefully washing per instructions (wash on cold, dry delicate on low heat), they are horrible! Now the fabric continually bunches under my feet, causing pain and irritation (blisters if I were running). The sock slides around on my foot and won’t stay in place. So annoying! They’re supposed to be non-slip. And so disappointing, because before washing, they were my favorite socks ever!

    I wear a size 7.5 women’s shoe. I got size small socks for women’s shoe sizes 5-7.5. My feet are at the upper limit for these socks so I’m really surprised the socks are slipping and bunching, feeling overall loose.

    When they first arrived, I wore them for several days without trouble. They worked as advertised— staying in place, no slipping. The compression was just right, so supportive, and after the first few hours of wearing them, my chronic foot pain was nearly GONE! (What?!?!) The socks were life-giving! They retained their shape so well I was surprised I could wear them so long without washing them! I wanted to buy many more pairs! A supportive, rejuvenating, consistent, stable, non-slip, long-wearing sock was what I first tried, and then after the first wash, all the benefits washed away with the dirt. Now the sock is like any other sock — it slips, it gathers, it bunches, it’s uncomfortable. It’s just SO EXPENSIVE for an awful sock!

    I am extremely disappointed about this sock’s performance. If a sock can’t be washed, it’s no good.

    These socks are thinner in material then expected especially considering the substantial price tag. I normally wear a US size 12 shoe but went down to a size 11.5 and the snug fitting supportive socks then came into full effect.
