“I got the impression these would be great for trail running (i.e., the design of the footpad would reduce friction inside the shoe). 8 miles into my last trail race, I wished I did not wear them. They are great for 4 miles or less. I would not recommend them for distances beyond: I felt a lot of hot spots. I will stick to the Swiftwick wool socks for these efforts, which are fantastic for trail conditions.”
Thank you for sharing this review, Jaclyn! We're sorry to hear that your experience with the FLITE XT Zero Tab wasn't a 10/10. We will contact you directly to help solve these issues! 🏃♀️
“Awesome socks! I put them on using the same sneakers I always work out in, and they made the sneakers feel so much more comfortable. They do run a bit large though, so I had to size down. Normally, I wear a Medium in womens’ socks (size US 8 shoe), but the Small fit perfectly.”
“Swiftwick's Flite XT socks are unquestionably the best athletics socks on the market today. I play tennis at least 3x every week and won't wear any other sock.”
“I really like these socks for hot weather pickleball. I like a thicker feel under my toes and these are very comfortable. They also feel a bit tacky or under the toes which helps in gripping with the toes. The socks also wick very well. In 90 degree weather my feet feel dry not slippery. I recommend these socks heartily! One minor problem I ordered gray and got black but that is inconsequential to the quality and feel of these socks.”
