Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I hope you get some inspiration to run somewhere new from my log of Ultra Running Destinations. These are all places I’ve visited, so can personally recommend them for an ultra adventure. Hope you have a nice stay!

Best Trail Running Socks

As an experienced trail runner with over two decades of running on trails and competing in ultramarathons in the US and Europe, I have learned a lot about having the right gear to make each run successful. Next to shoes, I’d say picking the right sock is one of the most critical gear decisions to make. My go to brand and best trail running socks recommendation is for the Wrightsock with their unique double layer system.

One challenge I faced when starting out as a runner was blisters. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is a fitness trainer and marathon training group leader with many years of trail running experience herself. She’d already tried many socks on the market and knew how great Wrightsocks were for trail running. She recommended the Wrightsock brand to me and I’ve never worn another brand since.

The Wrightsock’s unique design has double layers, which provide an anti-blister system that is effective in any weather. Their double-layer design of the socks makes them effective in preventing blisters. The inner layer hugs your foot, while the outer layer moves independently, reducing friction between your foot and the shoe. This design provides a friction-free barrier that prevents blisters from forming. The socks also have moisture-wicking properties that keep your feet dry and comfortable.

Aside from the anti-blister system, these socks are also incredibly comfortable to wear, regardless of temperature or whether your feet are wet or dry. They also hold up remarkably well, so are a real value for the price you pay! 

In conclusion, as a trail runner, I understand the importance of having the right gear to make each run successful. The Wright Sock Running II Quarter and Coolmesh II Crew are the best trail running socks I have found and I highly recommend them. They are super comfortable no matter the trail or weather conditions and are highly effective in preventing blisters too.
