“while i slowly (and by slowly, i mean we're whizzing past five years since i purchased them) try to wear out my day-to-day running swiftwick socks, i found i needed something a bit thinner for days when i wear shorts with slimmer sneakers. these are just the ticket, with the bonus of adding a punch of color around my ankles. oh, sure, they also work just great for running. excellent fit, excellent weight, and i suspect they will last forever, too.”
