Drugstore compression socks
vs. MudGear
Sheer compression socks get shredded on the first rope. Gym socks turn to sponges in the mud. We built the one that doesn't.
MudGearTall Compression
In a world where socks were too soft…
In 2012 we fell hard for obstacle course racing. Spartan, Tough Mudder, Savage. Every race wrecked our gear. Gym socks got soggy in the mud. Sheer compression socks got shredded on the ropes.
So we built a tougher one. American yarn, knit in North Carolina, with true graduated compression and enough armor to take a rope climb.
They said it couldn't be done. Fourteen years and 50,000 athletes later, we're still making it.
Made tougher. Like you.
Over-engineered by design
True graduated compression
15–20 mmHg, tightest at the ankle and easing up the calf. Built for performance and recovery, not just a number on a box.
Premium American yarn
63% nylon, 28% polyester, 9% spandex. The blend that tested best for comfort and durability.
Stays put
No sliding down mid-race or mid-shift. Cushioned foot, locked heel.
Built to last years
Customers still run in pairs they bought eight years ago. If yours don't hold up, we make it right.
We don't lab-test socks. We wreck them.
Every MudGear sock goes through the same abuse our athletes do.
The rope test
Up and down the rope until sheer socks would be shredded.
The mud dunk
Fully submerged, then back on the trail. Wicking, not soaking.
The mountain day
Up and down mountains all day, in every kind of weather.
The 14-hour shift
Steel-toe boots, concrete floors, no breaks for tired legs.

"I'm on my feet 14+ hrs a day in steel toe work boots. I've tried cheap Amazon brands and expensive brands. These are the best compression socks I've found so far. Plus they are made in America!"
Ty R. · Verified buyer"These feel very good. Strong and still comfortable. The foot cushioning is much better than my previous pairs."
Dennis F. · Verified buyer"The wide calf makes these even more comfortable so they're not too tight. They give my legs extra support below the knees so I can train longer."

Questions? Good.
What is the compression rating?
15–20 mmHg of true graduated compression. That is lower than many cheap sheer socks, but our yarn and knit make the fit and support more effective. Many customers say they work better than socks labeled medical grade.
What are they made of?
63% nylon, 28% polyester and 9% spandex, using premium yarns made in the USA. Our testing showed this blend is the best mix of comfort and durability.
Which size should I order?
Go by shoe size: Small fits Men 5–7.5 / Women 6–8, Medium Men 8–9.5 / Women 8–10, Large Men 10–13 / Women 11–13, XL Men 13–15 / Women 13–15.
How fast do they ship?
Orders ship the next business day from North Carolina. Most orders arrive in 2–3 days in the Southeast and 4–5 days in the West.
What if they don’t work for me?
Returns and exchanges are accepted within 60 days with prior approval from support@MudGear.com. Our socks also carry a lifetime unconditional guarantee.
Are they only for racing?
No. Racers, ruckers, hikers, nurses and tradespeople on their feet all day wear them for support and recovery.
Made tougher. Like you.
Try them on your next race, ruck or shift. If they aren't the toughest socks you've worn, we'll make it right.
