Swiftwick I don't like at all. They are hot and not uncomfortable but feel not different then a pair of Hanes tube socks.
Which Swiftwick socks are you wearing??? I'm in the Aspire. Definitely not hot for me (I'm running in Houston TX) and they are pretty thin, so I don't see how one can make the comparison to tube socks. They do make different types of socks, some thicker than others. The Aspire line is the thinnest I believe.
As far as the price, I've had one pair develop a hole over the last 3 years. I sent Swiftwick and email since the hole happened within the first 3 uses. They sent me another pair at no charge. Must have just been a defect.
TBH I don't know off hand. You are probably correct in that the Swiftwick socks that I have probably aren't the aspire. That being the case, it isn't fair to say that they are a "bad" sock to run in. My mother in law being well intentioned when getting them for me for a present probably didn't double check what she was buying and just grabbed them.
I will say they are a comfortable sock to wear. They just get HOT on my feet. I am willing to bet they are one of their "heavier" weight socks that just don't breath like the aspire. I will check them out when I get home. Thanks for the heads up on that.
