Triangle Adventure Racing Team

Foot care is extremely important in adventure races or any long distance event for that matter. Another important factor specific to multi-sport events is the ability to use individual gear for multiple disciplines. In my opinion, these socks are perfect. They stay tight on your feet after hours and days of racing, they aren’t too thick so you can switch from running to biking without changing socks, they dry quickly and even seem to work just fine if they’re wet, they’re kind of “slick” in the shoes, so the shoes rub against the sock, but the sock doesn’t rub against your foot. At $15 a pair, they’re kind of pricey and I think they’ve recently even been marketing them as “adventure racing socks” which doesn’t excite me, but I still wouldn’t consider using anything else. I do recommend getting different colors so when you’re changing from wet dirty socks into dry dirty socks, you’ll be able to keep track of which ones might be filled with sand. I prefer the mini crew which come just above the ankle.
