Swiftwick- FLITE XT FIVE Running & Golf Socks, Fitness, Ultimate Stability, Non-Slip Crew Socks

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 were so tight that they hurt my feet. My right foot was killing me for days after I ran for a half hour in these. The compression may be just what the doctor ordered for some folks, but I found it extremely painful.

Nice fit and no bunching up, I have used for both running and cycling and have found my go to socks. I am very pleased with them. Some compression, but not too much, seems Swiftwick did they're research. I will do a further review once I have a few more runs in them, I have not tried them yet in any kind of wet weather.

My boyfriend has run a LOT this year training for a marathon and has tried a lot of different socks. These are the BEST! he has flat feet too (so yes they work for you too.) He has told me repeatedly every time he wears those socks he comes back with zero blisters. ZERO. These socks are breathable, they are friction proof, they keep his arch constricted so he doesn’t get that sharp muscle strain on his feet! Forget the price please this is the greatest investment if you are a runner!!!! One pair is all you need!!!

Bought these for playing pickleball and they are very comfortable, help minimize hot spots and provide ankle support and compression. I just ordered more. Proud to support American made products!

disappointed in not staying dry, I always have cold feet that don't usually sweat and after taking them off they feltcold and wet.

By far the best cycling sock on the market. The Flite XT Five provides support and comfort.

My nephew mountain biker appreciates these socks. He was quite pleased to get them and says they are the ones to have

Good compression - bought XL - i’m size 13US and fits well
