MEET IN THE MIDDLE
We’ve heard story after story from customers reminiscing about their first race. They once thought “any socks will do.” That’s adorable. By the time they come to us, they’ve already learned the hard way that everything matters: the fit, the feel, the height, and the durability. MudGear 5” Crew Height Trail Running Socks are the perfect hybrid for runners wanting to protect more than their ankles, but who don’t need the maximum coverage of our taller compression socks. These crew height socks land well above the ankle but below the calf with a firm but comfortable fit.
MUDGEAR’S SIGNATURE CONSTRUCTION
We needn’t tell you MudGear 5” Crew Height Trail Running Socks are built from the finest American yarn blends - only because that has become the MudGear standard. The Crew have the same strategic thread placement and medium compression as our signature trail socks (the original ¼ Crew). We continue to obsess over proper ventilation, moisture management, and abrasion resistance. However, none of that matters if they don’t leave your feet feeling amazing. Just like our shorter socks, Crew delivers everyday comfort you won’t find from lesser brands.
HOW DO WE DO IT
Every aspect of our socks are deliberate. The footbed is soft and cushioned but not thick in a way that will soak up water or hold mud. Ventilation on the lower arch and upper foot allow for air flow and to help with drainage. The sock wears comfortably despite being built to shed water quickly.
THE FIT IS A HIT
We’ve received incredible feedback about how these socks fit. They’re high and tight enough to keep out dirt and rocks but comfortable for putting in long miles. Our athletes say they like feeling the added support of medium compression between the ankle and the calf. It’s never painful or distracting, but you can tell it’s just tight enough to keep the socks in place in any condition. Whether crawling over walls or under wires, MudGear 5” Crew Height Trail Running Socks serve as lower shin guards but without any added pressure on your calves.
