MudGear mens Mgcs0007i sports-compression-socks (pack of 1)

Tore the first time I put them on. Cheap quality. Incredibly disappointing. Very over priced for poor quality socks.

I used them on my Spartan Race and they really worked well. I had to walk through water mid knee and it helped me stay dry. It was comfortable as well. The color is one of my favorites!

Nov 2018 update: My husband and I have done many Spartan races and training and truly depend on these socks.... my husband completed a trifecta this summer and SWEARS by them. We have had zero issues with ripping, holes, etc. including very rocky/muddy races at Blue Mountain, Tri-state NJ, etc. 5x a week training means we have a bunch of them on hand. I recommend not drying them in the dryer- ours have held up wonderfully. Great job Mud Gear! Will be getting more for us this holiday season for sure! Just ran another Spartan race in these. Feet remained dry and protected, as did my legs, through mud, sweat, water, rocks, and tears. These socks are the BEST. THANK YOU MUDGEAR! Update- still love them and am doing another race with them soon. Remain awesome socks! Bought these about a month ago in prep for the Spartan Race at Blue Mountain, PA. I bought them specifically to prevent any injuries from the rope obstacles (Traverse and rope climb) since they have the extra padding at the back of the sock. First, the socks are super comfortable. I've never worn compression socks before and I was really surprised at how comfortable they are. I began wearing them for training the day I got them to ensure they would work for the race. I ran a ton of miles in them on the road, trail running, through streams, up hills, tons of burpees.....and they performed great. They did not hold water and were not heavy after getting them wet. They did not allow fine particles (mud or dust) to get in around my feet. They never even slipped down during all the training. Race day was last Saturday. They performed extremely well. They proved their worth with the traverse and rope climb. With the traverse, I simply put my legs around the rope and pulled. My calf got a little warm from the friction but I had absolutely no mark whatsoever on either calf. I saw someone else do the same without these socks and got a terrible rope burn. The rope climb the socks helped when coming back down. The rope wrapped a bit around my leg but the socks protected me. Again, they also held no weight after getting wet, did not allow the little particles of dirt through to my feet even through the tons of mud and muddy water that was present, and were super comfortable. My feet and calves felt great after the race. I inspected the socks really well after washing them post the race. You can see a little bit of wear at the back but are otherwise in fantastic shape for the abuse I have put them through. I would highly recommend them and I'll be buying another pair or two.

Good

I’ve been buying Mudgear socks for years. The first pairs were great, but had so much compression you could barely get them on and off. Then I bought a pair that didn’t have enough compression. This latest pair is perfect. Strong compression, but no longer takes 5 minutes to get on and off.
