The enemy: the blister
In trail running, your feet endure hours of impact, friction, and moisture: crossing streams, mud, and descents where your foot slides forward in the shoe. The blister, caused by the rubbing of damp skin, can ruin a run. A technical trail sock wicks away sweat, fits snugly without wrinkles, and reinforces sensitive areas: heel, toes, and ankles. Its height is chosen based on the terrain: low for lightness, high for protection against stones and mud.

A toe, a sheath
The toed Injinji sock, an American brand that popularized it, separates each toe in an individual sheath: the toes no longer rub against each other, which eliminates blisters between the toes, a curse for ultra-trail runners. It also allows the toes to spread naturally for better support. The Wool version, made from merino wool, keeps warmth; the Mini-Crew in CoolMax, fresher, is suitable for summer.
Specialists
The La Sportiva socks, from the Italian mountain brand in the Dolomites, and Lorpen, a Spanish brand from the Pyrenees, reinforce support areas. The BV Sport, a French specialist in compression, supports the arch and ankle. X-Socks, with anatomical left and right weaves, Rywan, Dynafit, and adidas Terrex complete the offer. They should be washed inside out, at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, and it’s wise to have a spare pair for long runs.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose toe socks for trail running?
Toe socks, like Injinji, separate each toe in its own sheath. They eliminate friction between the toes, a common source of blisters on long runs.
Is merino wool suitable for trail running in summer?
Yes, fine wool regulates temperature and limits odour, even in warm weather. It remains comfortable when it is damp, a real advantage during stream crossings.
Short or long trail socks, what to choose?
Long models protect the ankle from stones, branches, and mud. Shorter socks, lighter, are suitable for dry, rolling trails when it’s hot.
How to choose your trail sock size?
The sock should fit snugly without wrinkles: too much fabric creates friction, and a size that’s too small compresses the toes. Choose the size range that nicely frames your own.
How to wash your technical trail socks?
Wash them inside out at thirty degrees, without fabric softener that clogs the fibers, then air dry. This way they keep their reinforcement areas and their ability to wick away sweat.
