    I’ve worn these exact socks for countless training runs and multiple ultramarathons including all 3 of my 100 milers. The combination of being heavy duty toe socks and the crew height make them perfect for any outing but especially tough trail runs.

    Tested and proved... blister-less mile after mile, race after race. Would adventure without them! I'll have multiple pairs for the 200 miles in the sun!
