Swiftwick Flite XT Trail Socks

Swiftwick Flite XT Trail Socks Review

The Swiftwick Flite XT Trail Socks (shop now) are unquestionably the most fully-featured, technologically advanced socks we’ve ever reviewed. They’re constructed with five unique, and strategically mapped fabrics including nylon, merino, olefin, polyester, and spandex. We love the Olefin footbed and “GripDry” Fiber heel and forefoot, which combines to move moisture out and away, while maintaining a grip between sock and insole to prevent the foot from sliding around. This is especially helpful on downward slopes.

These socks give light cushion and medium compression. A few other notable callouts include the arch support band and seamless toe box. This is an exceptional sock, but it runs pretty tight, and the unisex sizing makes for a less nuanced fit.
