Would love to give these socks a higher rating, as they are very well made, but they fit way too tight. I followed the size chart, (I ordered a large, as I wear size 11 & have a wide foot). I get the idea behind compression clothing, but my foot needs to splay out naturally while moving, (hiking & biking), one reason I wear Topo Athletic shoes. I have them pulled tight around the outside of some shoes in hopes they'll loosen up some. At present, it's a chore just to get them on, (all of this before washing). I've been a pro guide for 30 yrs. and have tons of experience with feet, shoes & socks, with thousands of miles under my belt. I love supporting American companies, and those who work at sustainability, so hopefully I can find a Swiftwick sock that works for me & my feet.
