While more and more rucking socks enter the market, the best socks for rucking are still the original. That’s right!

Beware of compression strength ratings! People see terms like "medical grade" just assume that mmHG ratings are a reliable standard or apples-to-apples way to compare compression socks. The truth is that an mmHh rating alone is insufficient to pick the best compression sock for your situation. It would be like choosing a car based on gas mileage only - you might end up with a scooter!
The compression range for our socks is specifically designed to provide optimal support and comfort. The compression level for most of our socks measures within the range of 15-20 mmHg, which is actually lower than many cheap sheer compression socks, but the type of yarn and construction technique will play into the overall fit, feel, quality and effectiveness of the socks for you. We have many many customers who say our 15-20 mmHg socks are a better fit and more effective than other brands that claim to be "medical grade".Another key indicator of quality is the warranty.
MudGear socks come with an unconditional money-back guarantee. With that, our 12 years in business, and our USA-made quality, you can't go wrong.
We designed our compression socks to use premium yarns that are made in the USA. Our extensive testing proved this combination to be the best mix of comfort and durability:
63% Nylon 28% Polyester 9% Spandex
