The story of MudGear’s evolution from focusing on obstacle course racing to also serving the larger trail running community was fairly organic. We witnessed a grassroots adoption from strictly trailrunners who trained with their OCR friends. However, the crowning achievement on the road to trail running acceptance has to be this endorsement from the American Trail Running Association (ATRA). You know that a MudGear sock bearing ATRA’s esteemed name is one you can trust for maximum mileage.
NEW SPIN ON A MUDGEAR CLASSIC
ATRA Quarter (¼) Crew Socks is modeled after the same MudGear ¼ Crew that has withstood endless miles on various terrains in every perceivable weather condition. These socks have accumulated countless muddy miles and stood atop racing’s most competitive podiums. The ATRA model incorporates the same precision stitching of premium yarn blends - chosen for their durability and comfort. However, unlike their predecessors, MudGear’s ATRA socks cater to the predominantly trail and distance runners who are uniquely attuned to their foot sensory. We deliberately redesigned the footbed with thinner cushioning for frequent runners who prefer more feeling in every step.
NOTICE THE NON-NEGOTIABLES
Thinner footbed aside, MudGear’s ATRA ¼ Crew Socks deliver all of the non-negotiables that have made MudGear the favorite sock of adventurists everywhere. We engineered our socks to achieve specific performance results for their ventilation, moisture management (via full-submersion testing), and abrasion resistance; and their medium level ankle compression locks out dirt from the trail. Oh, and as if you haven't guessed - this level of toughness was designed and continues to be delivered by superior craftsmanship... another non-negotiable.
MUDGEAR MADE| ATRA APPROVED
American Trail Running Association (ATRA) is a leader in the sport, and their digital home, trailrunning.com, is quite possibly the most respected website among all TR enthusiasts. So, when the opportunity arose to produce a co-branded sock with ATRA, we were determined to create a sock worthy of that calling. We're confident that we succeeded and eager for you to experience them yourself.
The first thing you'll notice about these socks is the relatively high ankle that is tight enough to keep out dirt and rocks, but it's not a tight compression fit. The footbed is soft and ultra thin to give you maximum feeling in your shoe.
United StatesI spent some time looking for socks to wear for my Spartan Race. I read a lot of reviews and Mudgear was consistently recommended. After running in them, I have to say the highly rated reviews are legit! These socks performed beautifully. They are comfortable to wear, don't get too soggy, and best of all, NO blisters!! They are definitely socks that I will use in future races!!

United StatesMy MudGear socks are super comfortable and can take a beating out there on the trails. Very durable!
Why 25,000 miles? That's roughly the equatorial circumference of the Earth. That's far enough to run to see that there's no tougher or better performing socks or gear on the planet. If you don't agree, just contact our support team, and we'll make it right.
