I Finally Found Swiftwick Socks!

by BlisterFreeRunner

There are a few things I search for, and one is Swiftwick socks. I discovered Swiftwick when I got my first pair last May as part of the racer's schwag-bag at the annaul "Dirt Sweat & Gears" 12 hour endurance mountain bike race in Fayetteville Tennessee. I still wear that pair and I love them!! Obviously, they last a long time. They keep my feet from blistering and no other sock is as good at wicking moisture away from my sweaty feet. So I run in them too... and wear them to work because their compression value keeps my energy level higher when I'm on my feet all day.

Cumberland Transit is the only place I have been that has a good selection and had my size in stock! It would have been perfect, except I want to try their new Merino wool Swiftwick ZERO - Cumberland did not have that in stock. But I got everything else. I love this store and the variety of quality products they have. The fact they carry a boutique performance sock means they are listening to me and I will continue to be a big advocate for Cumberland Transit.

• Pros: They had a good selection in stock
• Cons: Need to carry Swiftwick's Merino FOUR - a fantastic hiker's sock
