Our Story

Swiftwick designs, engineers, and builds performance socks for endurance sports, featuring advanced moisture-wicking, optimal compression, and contoured performance. 

We are proudly based in Tennessee, manufactured in the USA, and worn the world over.

Our origins
Nashville, tennessee

Our Beginnings

It all started back in 2008 when our founder, an avid mountain biker, decided he finally had enough of blisters. Now, nearly two decades later, we are a global brand developing high-performance socks for endurance athletes and beyond.

Swiftwick makes equipment to take you further, from daily training to the highest levels of international competition. Beloved by track and field athletes in the 2024 US Olympic Team Trials, Tour de France cyclists, and winners of the Western States 100 and MIUT 115 ultramarathons, our socks are engineered to endure.
Engineered to endure

At Swiftwick, endurance is the thread that runs from our socks, through our culture, and into the sports we serve.

We have overcome moments where lesser individuals may have folded. We have kept the pace.

But make no mistake—endurance doesn’t have to feel extreme, ultra, or brutal.

It can be a celebration of consistency. 

A steady mindset.

A tiny triumph.

Endurance is powerful. 

Endurance has dimension.


Our equipment endures, so you can too.

Our Impact

At Swiftwick, we’re committed to sustainability, working to preserve our natural world for generations to come. But, to us, true sustainability requires a multifaceted approach: 

Fiber Selection

Every Swiftwick sock includes sustainable (R3) fibers, meeting one or more of the following classifications:

01. Recycled
Fibers produced from post-consumer or post-industrial waste. These products are kept from landfills or other waste streams and are used to create new raw materials.

02. Responsible
Synthetic fibers that use fewer resources to create. Our responsible fibers greatly minimize energy consumption and mitigate wastewater compared to non-responsible fibers.

03. Renewable
Fibers that naturally regenerate, such as Merino wool.

Local Production

Swiftwick socks are manufactured in the USA, using domestically sourced materials whenever possible and employing craftspeople from local communities. Not only does this allow us to monitor quality closely, but it also reduces the environmental impact of transportation.

Durability

All of our socks undergo rigorous lab and wear testing to ensure they maintain quality over time. Creating products that last minimizes consumption, keeping socks out of landfills and reducing the use of raw materials overall.

Relentless Pursuit of Better

Today, renewable, recycled, or responsible fibers make up over 60% of the volume of all raw materials we use (a goal we originally planned to achieve in 2025).
