Versatile Merino Socks for Trail Running & Everyday Wear
TAKING MOGGANS ON AND OFF THE TRAILS
Wherever Adventure Takes Us
This month, we’re showcasing some of our Moggans Ambassadors who have relied on their trusty pair of Merino wool socks to run in wild places, ride and hike, walk or ski. Where do you take yours?
“Moggans socks are my firm favourites, and I genuinely won't do a run, walk, hike or ride without them! Super comfy yet also super durable, I've got pairs that have covered thousands of miles and are still going strong. Being mulesing-free is important to me and their composition means I can rinse them on the go (they've done A LOT of multi-day trips!) and they stay miraculously soft and stink-free. That's a big win in my book!”
Jamie Aarons, Ultra Runner & Adventure Racer, World Record Holder for her 2023 Self-Propelled Munro Challenge.
Great For Speed And Odour-Free!
"I use Moggans socks and almost always when I am running, choose the ultralight ones. They don’t smell! It makes a huge difference getting in the car after a long day on the hills and not needing to open a window every 5 minutes. I also like them due to the Merino wool content. Even the ultralight ones I find keep my feet warm even on snowy days out running in the winter. Great socks, I ove them and haven't found anything else as good.”
Harris Pagett, Mountain & Cross Country Runner, Scottish Champion
Mountain-Approved For All Weathers
“Moggans have become my sock of choice for trail and mountain running here in Scotland as they work brilliantly in every possible condition. Cool on the rare warm dry days and most importantly, they keep the feet warm on the more common wet days. They've proven to be reliable and robust, with a solid design base matched by high quality and consistent manufacturing. Socks may be understated but they're absolutely key to making a good day a great one!”
Graham Kelly, Trail Runner & Mountain Rescue in the Highlands
“I love Moggans socks because they’re made from Merino wool - a natural, breathable fibre that regulates body temperature in all conditions. Whether I’m running in extreme cold or intense heat, they keep my feet comfortable and dry, and they’ve consistently helped me avoid blisters, even on the toughest terrain.
I wear them on training runs and in races everywhere - from mountain trails to city streets. Most recently, I relied on them in the Arctic, where I won the Beyond the Ultimate Ice Ultra. Next up, I’ll be putting them to the test in the Amazon rainforest - mud, water, and all.”
Ioana Barbu, Trail Ultra Runner, Winner of Beyond the Ultimate Ice Ultra & Highland Ultra
