MudGearQuarter Crew Trail Socks, Blister-Resistant, Sweat-Resistant & Quick-Drying, Cushioned Footbed, Made in USA, 2-Pack

carrera de 105 km y no tuve que cambiar de medias, y lo mejor cero ampollas

Ordered these for a Spartan Race and thank God I did. It was the second day and had been raining so there was plenty of puddles and mud. These rocks really helped to keep my feet warm and apparently dry (for the most part). My feet were never an issue during the race and truly believe it's because of these socks.

I originally bought these socks for trail running but a foot injury sidelined me so I can't really speak for how they hold up on dirty, muddy trails (yet). However, since cycling is part of my rehab I decided to try them with my Northwave cycling shoes. I am VERY picky about socks so it means something when I say WOW. I live in south Texas and it's blazing hot and humid here, even in the early morning when I do my rides. Until I tried theses socks, I was coming home with soaked and sore feet just from sweating and chafing. I'm not going to say these socks kept my feet from sweating, but they DID wick the moisture away so my feet weren't being rubbed raw by the moisture buildup. I can also feel the breeze circulating through the mesh in my shoes, which feels great on these hot days. I only have 2 pairs just now but I'm about to order 2 more so I can rotate them more efficiently. These socks are also very comfy with my everyday sneakers and my hiking boots as well. I can't wait until my foot heals enough for me to zip around on the trails and really get these babies dirty.As far as washing - no special treatment needed. I toss them in with my cycling clothes or whatever else needs washing. I have worn them about a dozen times each and have not noticed any difference in the fit. I'll update my review once I've had the chance to use them on the trails. Highly recommended!

These socks are very comfortable. Will be running my first Spartan race with them in a week.

I'm happy with this purchase! The fit is comfortable. I wasn't sure what size sock to order due to the size chart, previous reviews and where my shoes size falls! I typically were a size 7.5 in running shoes. I have one pair of Asics that are size 8 as I was told I should order a 1/2 size bigger in that particular version and should have some extra space when running --- so I did. I feel like a 7 3/4 would have been perfect, lol not quite an 8. My other pair is a 7.5 and seems more my fit. Anyway, normally a 7.5 and I ordered the small socks. They fit very well. Side note: if we're talking a high heel shoe or boot from Express, I'm a perfect size 7.If I wore a full size 8 shoe normally, I would still recommend the size small sock. I don't like socks to bunch in the toes or heels. If your a 8.5 shoe and like snug socks, you could still rock the small as long as your foot isn't "wide". Some might consider my foot narrow but I've never wore a "narrow" shoe size, always regular and fit comfortably. Bought these for the Tough Mudder race in KY in June and I think they will work out great! I did 80 minutes of straight cardio in them yesterday and today to test them out - they were comfortable and zero slippage. Whoop!

Got these socks the day before a 2.5 hour the 2017 F3 Polar Bear. The event is 2.5 hours of running, obstacles, and boot camp style workout with team running to locations to do exercises for points. And it was 25F outside, and we jumped in a lake and did squats at the end for extra points.Warmth: even at 25F-30F, feet never felt cold at all. Until the 55F lake of course.Fit: Good fit, size Large for my size 10 was perfect. Good snug fit, no sliding, no chaffing, no blisters. Will be my "go to" sock for workouts.I like that they are Made in the USA!I put the "Ankle Compression" to the test. I think the ankle band is plenty tight by design to keep debris out of your sock and keep it from sliding down. It was no match for the gritty lake bottom as I did end up with some sand/grit in both socks after the Polar Plunge. I don't blame the socks, as the ankle compression seems very ample, but if you're looking to keep the debris out when in water, may need a taller sock. Thicker mud may be no problem.Overall, very satisfied. Best workout sock I currently own, and I've tried lots of UA and Thorlo. Good comms with Malko, owner of Mudgear, to ensure I was satisfied with my new awesome socks.

Can't compare to other running socks because this is my first pair, but so much better then wearing my normal cotton socks.

I just wore the Quarter Length sock for a six mile walk. The socks did not roll off and provided cushy comfort for my narrow feet. Will order more in the future for a tropic hike in the rain forest of Costa Rica. Thank you. From a Happy Customer.

I haven’t tried out my new socks yet, but I’m looking forward to putting them to the test very soon; I’ll update then. Just taking a close look at the socks I’m very impressed. They look very well made. They’re heavyweight but not too thick, if that makes sense. I think my feet will really appreciate all the cushioning. The band is snug, but not tight so they’ll be good at keeping out ticks and debris. I’m hoping they will keep my feet cool and dry during summer hikes, and warm during winter. I’m really pleased with this purchase, but a day’s hiking in these will be the true test.

The socks are a little on the thick side, for those used to very thin socks. They seems extremely durable however, still no sign of wear, which is surprising given my use, and they are comfortable under most conditions. The only time I experienced some discomfort was bombing down long steep slopes during a race, the underfoot ribbing irritated my feet a little. They also dry very quickly. FWIW, I'm used to the more expensive and slightly more comfortable, but seemingly not as durable Merino wool Darn Tough socks.

What I can not do is run or race or even my bi-weekly runs in inferior socks. No Sir! After I wore my first pair of the high MudGear socks with the mixture of the compression and my Salomon Speedcross 4's or my Salomon Sonic Pro 2's, I felt as if I was wearing slippers. I knew that I had definitely made a smarter purchase than I am really capable doing, so with complete humility I would like to thank you for letting at least one part (Two if you count my feet separately) of me to feel good During my runs/races.

I bought these specifically for Spartan OCR's and originally when I first took them out thought they might be too thick but these are the best socks I have ever raced in. They drain pretty quickly after being completely submerged in mud and water, they are high enough to keep out any muck and just super comfortable.

I have these socks and I love them. They are well made, fit well and the compression is just the right amount. I had sprained my ankle bad and wore my mud gear socks as part of my active recovery plan - I feel they made a huge impact in my recovery times, as I was back at it (working out) within two weeks of injury. I wear these while running and have zero foot pain. I also like to wear them just around the house and they are super comfortable as every day socks.
