Customers praised these ultralight running socks as "superb fit and comfy feel" with excellent blister prevention. They're breathable, quick-drying, and feature padded soles. Shoppers loved the style and colours. Minor feedback noted elastic could be slightly less strong and cuff height could be higher.

I love my Moggan socks so much. Just did my second Camino, using last years Moggan socks and my new lighter ones. It rained- they dry so quickly. Cool yet padded just where you need it. Not a blister in sight.

Love the style and colour of these socks. Comfortable around the sole area. I find the elastic just a little strong and perhaps my benefit from a slightly higher cuff?

Excellent pair of socks which I put to the test, in combination with NNormal Cadi trail running shoes, on the North Wales Pilgrim's Way last week. Fit like a glove and very comfortable on demanding terrain.

Amazing Socks, Great quality. I wear these socks every day and they’re so comfy and you don’t get cold in them or too hot. They’re amazing to do long runs in and you don’t get any blisters! I would recommend these socks.

Superb fit and comfy feel. Lovely to run in; cool, non-slip and look great. Only worn on a couple of runs so far, so I won't comment on durability. But, all my other Moggans socks have been great, these might be the best of all.

Thanks so much — really appreciate that.

Great to hear the fit and feel worked well on the run, and that they stayed cool and secure underfoot. High praise to say they might be the best yet — that means a lot. We’ll look forward to hearing how they perform over the longer term.

Team Moggans.

I bought these as a gift having recently purchased the same socks for myself. Based on my experience of the socks where I found them to be warm and very comfortable to run in I am sure they will be well received.

I wore then today for the first time on a hard 15k run in the rain. They felt great the whole run and no blister even though feet were soaked.

I've been wearing Moggan's socks for a few years now. I won't run in anything else. These new ultralight socks are very comfy and wash well. Hopefully they will do me well in the Marathon des Sables next week!!

Loved the ultralight ankle socks, super comfy and kept my feet nice and cool. I’ve never had an issue with blisters since switching to Moggans socks either. 10/10 they’re great

What can I say? As an advocate for Moggans socks for over 4 years now and even those I’ve bought haven’t worn out yet, I was pleased to get my mits on these new Ultralight ankle socks. Straight out the package I could tell they were going to be great. Really soft material, they hold up well to a good battering on roads and trails and they don’t slip when wet from rain or tramping through boggy wetland. No blisters!!!! Four weeks in and they’ve been given a good testing and the Ultralights are worth every penny. Light, very comfortable, don’t slip when on feet, dry out quickly, no smell, comfortable as an old shirt. Get ‘em bought and thank me later. Great work, Moggans guys.

Darren - we really appreciate your feedback & the support you have provided by supporting a UK business, delighted you are enjoying the journey as much as we are, it does feel like you are climbing a mountain at times but when you get feedback like this if makes the whole team very happy. Thanks Darren. Team Moggans.
