It all started back in 2008 when our founder, an avid mountain biker, decided he finally had enough of blisters. Now, nearly two decades later, we are a global brand developing high-performance socks for endurance athletes and beyond.
Swiftwick makes equipment to take you further, from daily training to the highest levels of international competition. Beloved by track and field athletes in the 2024 US Olympic Team Trials, Tour de France cyclists, and winners of the Western States 100 and MIUT 115 ultramarathons, our socks are engineered to endure.
At Swiftwick, we’re committed to sustainability, working to preserve our natural world for generations to come. But, to us, true sustainability requires a multifaceted approach:
Every Swiftwick sock includes sustainable (R3) fibers, meeting one or more of the following classifications:
01. Recycled
Fibers produced from post-consumer or post-industrial waste. These products are kept from landfills or other waste streams and are used to create new raw materials.
02. Responsible
Synthetic fibers that use fewer resources to create. Our responsible fibers greatly minimize energy consumption and mitigate wastewater compared to non-responsible fibers.
03. Renewable
Fibers that naturally regenerate, such as Merino wool.
Swiftwick socks are manufactured in the USA, using domestically sourced materials whenever possible and employing craftspeople from local communities. Not only does this allow us to monitor quality closely, but it also reduces the environmental impact of transportation.
All of our socks undergo rigorous lab and wear testing to ensure they maintain quality over time. Creating products that last minimizes consumption, keeping socks out of landfills and reducing the use of raw materials overall.
At Swiftwick, we create the greatest socks to run, ride, or hike the earth. Here’s how our team of designers innovates, continuously pushing the boundaries of what socks can do.
For us, fibers come first. We select only the highest-performance natural and synthetic fibers with inherent moisture-wicking capabilities, rather than treating our fibers with chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Our signature Olefin fiber is not only environmentally responsible, but also durable, breathable, and moisture-wicking like no other.
All of our socks are thoughtfully designed to support the contours of your foot, providing the perfect fit and support for every exercise or adventure. We know that every athlete has different needs and preferences, so we offer a wide range of compression levels. From maximum stability for high-intensity sports to gentle compression for lighter activities, we’re here to support it all.
We’re confident you’ll enjoy your Swiftwick socks. We’re so confident, in fact, that we offer a Lifetime Performance Guarantee. It’s our commitment both to our products and to our customers.
If your Swiftwicks wear out for any reason, we'll replace them. Simple as that.
