Product Description
Your shoes hold heat around your foot for hours on the bike or run, and a thick sock adds bulk to a shoe you already fit snugly. A thin sock with firm compression takes up less room and moves moisture away, so your feet stay cooler and your attention stays on your pedal stroke.
Swiftwick's Aspire Ankle answers that with an ultra-thin profile, firm compression, and moisture-wicking Olefin fibers in an ankle cuff that adds protection between your skin and the edge of your shoe.
Cooler, drier feet on long rides – Olefin fibers move moisture away from your skin and a channeled upper adds airflow, which helps keep your feet cooler and drier through hours in a closed shoe.
A snug fit you stop noticing – A Y-shaped heel moves with your foot and firm compression grips its contours and supports your arch, which helps limit bunching and slipping and helps reduce fatigue.
Ankle coverage without the bulk – The ankle cuff gives you more protection from your shoe, and the minimum-cushion knit keeps the sock thin inside it.
Olefin is a lightweight synthetic fiber that carries sweat away from your skin and dries quickly. It makes up 39% of this sock, alongside 53% nylon for durability and 8% spandex, the stretch fiber that lets the knit hug your foot and return to shape. Swiftwick calls its fit Contoured Compression, a firm knit that wraps the shape of your foot and arch, and the minimum cushion leaves your shoe's fit as you set it.
