Review on 🧦 Swiftwick ASPIRE FOUR Crew Socks for Trail Running and Cycling with Firm Compression Fit by Patrick Reynolds

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Garbage magnets are good for outdoor activities

These socks are good for golf or any other purely sporting activity. However, they are not suitable for gardening or other areas where dirt can get on them. Some shavings from the chainsaw got into my boots and stuck to my socks, especially the textured fabric underneath. I tinkered with it for a while and sent it to the laundry but that just shook off a few shavings. They were wearable, but took several machine washes, alternating with tweezers, before they were almost clean again. A similar caution applies when mowing lawns, pulling weeds, etc., although grass clippings are not as durable as wood shavings. Summary: They appear to be good for sports, including walking, but in work situations where dirt builds up, look elsewhere.
