Can we just talk about how awesome Swiftwick socks are?

[bloody sunday]

I've tried almost every brand - and Swiftwick are by far the best quality, best fitting, longest lasting socks I've ever owned. I bought a pair to try out last year and now I have a collection.

Anyone else a fan?

I bought two pairs and both got a hole (under the big toe in one and on the heel in the other) in a couple of weeks.

I'm back to Darn Tough, Smartwool, and Woolpower. I was unimpressed.

have to agree.big fan too.great socks.as good or better than anything I've used in the past.some of my defeets would run a close second

[OtayBW]

i'm a Woolie Boolie man, myself!

[arcadian]

Agreed. Awesome socks. I have some that are 4 years old that still see regular use. I wear Swiftwick socks everyday.

Smartwool used to be good, but not anymore.

Defeet makes good stuff, but Woolie Boolies are too thick for regular use.

Yep same results. I was very loyal to Smartwool they just haven't held up at all. My wife bought me some of the IBIS labeled Swiftwick merino wool shocks for a birthday present they have held up twice as long as Smartwool and I love them. I am wearing a pair right now.

I will never buy Smartwool socks so long as I can get Swiftwick.

I've long been a fan of Smartwool, but Darn Tough are pretty much bullet proof.

same here. Have the aspire 4's in every color they make + 3 pairs of black

I've got 3 pairs and after 3 years of semi regular use, one has a hole. So not bad at all. Although darn tough (2 pairs) are still going strong.

I just found a pair of Swiftwicks in the 'bargain' bin at the Performance shop down the street.

like em.

I've been wearing Defeet socks--a pair of their Wooleators (wool Aerators) and a couple pairs of the plain Aerators. They have lasted for more than two full seasons through road and cyclocross with little wear. I'll definitely try Swiftwicks and would like to try some Darn Toughs.

I've been really happy with smartwool. I have 8-9 pairs that are at least 7 years old and only one out of the bunch that started to get a thin spot. The rest are still going strong.

Swiftwicks. Bought maybe 4 or 6 in 2010. Bought another 6 or 8 since then, last ones I bought were 2013? I haven't trashed any and I can't tell which ones I bought first.

I have plenty of socks from other companies that are wearing out or wearing thin. You can tell age on them. Swiftwick, 100% since day one.

I like Swiftwicks a lot but have been wearing my Balegas more.
