Great road race socks

"I love how thin these are but still have a bit of compression"

— Michael B. (5/5)

Great Socks for Trail Running

"Last weekend I ran the Cirque Series, 8. 2 miles in Killington, Vermont. After the race, I had no blisters after running in muddy conditions. My left sock ripped at my big toe and I am so sad about it. I will definitely use them again at any other trail race."

— Melissa V. (5/5)

Do not slip or shift

"Do not slip or shift while running, very thin material in some areas so may be easy to wear out or rip but they have held up for several runs so far since purchasing."

— Roy M. (4/5)

Top compression socks

"Socks used for my 18 mile long run. Highly recommend. Ultralight and comfortable on my calves."

— Maria L. (5/5)

A very lightweight CEP option

"I'm a little on the fence about these being good vs great. They are much more lightweight than other CEP socks I've used and I am worried about their durability. The compression is also a little lighter than what I think I like. They have done well on my 4/5 mile runs though."

— Kevin W. (4/5)

nice socks for the summer heat

"It took a little while to get used to the extra material in the toe box but they've been worn daily and don't leave hot spots."

— Warren F. (4/5)

Best Socks!

"The compression is just enough and I like that they are lighter weight for hot trail days. They're perfect and wear really well!!"

— Tracy D. (5/5)

Great sock for running in the summer!

"Love the compression and overall feel of the sock. The sock is light and not bulky. My feet don't sweat or get hot like in other socks. I have not had an issue with blisters while running in these socks. Highly recommend!"

— Ivan (5/5)

Five stars

"Flawless Performance in Extreme Conditions I recently used the Pro Run Ultralight Mid Cut Compression Socks at the Badwater Salton Sea race, and they were absolutely incredible. This event throws every extreme at you—from scorching desert heat to freezing mountain temperatures, crossing both rugged trails and hard pavement. Through all of those intense shifts in climate and terrain, these socks held up perfectly. I finished with zero blisters and didn't have a single issue with my feet the entire time. If you need a dependable, high-performance sock that can handle wild temperature swings and mixed-surface demands, this is a genuinely great product!"
