Obsessed with all Sidas socks. These have an integrated grip band that helps with the connection between your foot, sock, and insole. There are reinforced zones around the ankle, heel, and toes to protect your feet, and the rest of the sock is super breathable.

The Sidas Trail Protect is probably my overall favorite trail running sock and the one I reach for most often. It strikes an excellent balance between comfort, cushioning, grip, and breathability, making it versatile enough for almost any trail or race. Whether you're running smooth singletrack, technical mountain terrain, or spending all day out on the trails, this sock simply performs. I relied heavily on this sock during Cocodona 250 and liked it so much that I had my crew wash pairs so I could keep rotating them throughout the race. When I'm not sure what conditions I'll face, this is usually the sock I grab because it does everything well and keeps my feet happy for the long haul.
