What customers are saying
Real reviews from runners, hikers and everyday legends.
“The Socks is my absolute one-and-only go-to running socks for 1.5 years, ever since I was given a pair to try at CTM expo by the owner himself. Thereafter I bought 3 pairs, and now I bought another 3 animal pairs at CTM this year. This weekend I was given a TrailFun branded pair and absolutely love them. TrailFun has partnered with THE Socks to give away these socks for their full entry of the TrailFun Holiday Series. PS: I am not sponsored by either business — just my honest opinion.”
“The Socks — I love them too. Have about 10 pairs and had custom made for our club.”
“These The Socks are a must-have. I also run with them — the best ever for the feet… no blisters, nothing at all. For me it feels like running on air.”
“My The Socks socks took a beating at Puffer yesterday, but survived the mud and water. Kept my feet cool, dry and blister-free. Not even a speck of a blister today. Sub-10hrs in the bag.”
“Thanks The Socks for the awesome new goodies. The most comfortable socks in the business. Being on my feet for more than 14 hours in a row at times, these are an absolute game changer!”
“We wore the coolest mohair-blended socks — amazing cushioning, kept feet cool, no blisters. Highly recommend The Socks.”
“Soooo excited to run on these new babies on Sunday. Tried them out today and they rock!”
“These socks saved me from running without shoes today. So blessed to have them.”
“Best socks — ran an overseas run in 10km of mud and not a single blister.”

“Really enjoyed running with THE SOCKS Mohair socks. Breathable and very comfortable!!”
“I’ve been using THE SOCK brand for 4 years — these are truly the best trail running socks.”
“Truly the best socks in town!!! No blisters, no overheating — so comfortable.”
“THE most comfortable socks! I love the shorties — great for gym, trails & road running… Love love… they’re the best, that’s why they’re called ‘THE’!”
“Best socks ever. I had very bad blisters from running, but since I started running with THE Socks I don’t get blisters or sore feet anymore. Will 100% recommend.”
“It’s like treating your feet with a run on the clouds! Feet-heaven indeed.”
“These socks are amazing! Ran a 49k trail run through multiple river crossings… Not 1 blister. I will not run in anything else.”
“Hands down the best socks ever! From 5Ks to Comrades, THE Socks have taken care of my feet. I’ve been running in them since 2022 and before that I constantly struggled with blisters. Since switching, blisters are a thing of the past. The quality is great and the brand truly lives up to everything they stand for. Highly recommend.”
“THE Socks… once you try them you won’t look back. For me this is the ultimate sock — especially during long distances like Comrades where it aids blister protection. The thermal-regulating mohair keeps my feet warm after water crossings. The best socks for trail running.”
