Capsule Collection Socks
In honor of the new rebranding, Swiftwick is launching a limited-edition Capsule Collection. This collection features Swiftwick’s three best performance socks: Aspire, Maxus, and Flite XT.
The run clubs above participating in the community events will receive 100 percent of the proceeds of sales of the Capsule Collection. The collection sale begins Aug. 19.
I’ve worn all three of these socks the past few years for road and trail runs, bike rides and other activities. The Flite XT are my favorites for summer runs. That’s because the Proprietary GripDry Fiber incorporated into the heel and forefoot works like a champ. These little spots are comprised of tiny nanofibers that grip to the insole.
Thanks to the little grip pads, the socks and my feet don’t slip or slide even during the hottest, sweatiest workouts or rides. And like the Aspire and Maxus lines, the Flite XT wick moisture to help reduce hot spots, blisters and keep you feet cooler. All have a bit of compression, as well, so they’re snug and don’t sag. The Flite XT line has new Zero Tab and “One” versions, too, for runners who don’t like anything on their ankles. For those who do, or who maybe wear ankle support, they come in above-ankle versions.
