How to choose trail running socks
In the mountains your foot moves more inside the shoe, gets wet and rubs for hours. That is why three things matter in trail: the sock must not shift, your foot must stay dry and the friction zones must be protected.
- Anti-blister. BLISTERGUARD™: zones with chitin, a natural skin-regenerating, anti-blister fibre.
- Hold. LOCKFIT™ keeps the cuff in place, without losing its shape or slipping down during training and races.
- Dry feet. DRYMODE™ keeps your feet dry by wicking moisture away faster.
- Height. The Terra's mid cuff protects your ankle from dirt and stones. The R10 Terra is an ankle sock, for anyone who prefers less fabric.
Terra or R10 Terra
They have the same three technologies. Only the height changes: mid on the Terra and ankle on the R10 Terra. Sizes go from S to L, with XL in white and black.
Frequently asked questions
What socks do I need for trail running?
Socks that do not move inside your shoe, keep your feet dry and protect against friction. The Terra is made for that, with LOCKFIT™, DRYMODE™ and BLISTERGUARD™.
Do they work for marathons too?
Yes. The Terra is made for trail and long distances, including 21K and 42K. You will find them together in 21K/42K specials.
What is chitin?
A natural skin-regenerating, anti-blister fibre. In the Terra it sits in the friction zones and makes up 23 % of its composition.
What size should I choose?
S 36-39, M 40-42, L 43-46 and XL 47-49 (EU shoe sizes), XL only in white and black. If you're between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
How do I wash them?
At 30 °C on a delicate cycle, with no bleach and no tumble dryer, and let them air dry.
