7 Reasons Why Thousands of Runners are Hitting the Trails with Creepers Merino Toe Socks
Runners and hikers everywhere and ditching their regular socks for healthier, blister-busting more comfortable merino wool toe socks. Here are seven reasons why Creepers Toe Socks are taking over the trails.
1. The Lowest Friction

Moisture wicking, fast drying, unbelievably soft and with a proven, low friction coefficient. Have more fun on the trails, with fewer blisters and more foot comfort.

3. Perfect in Heat or the Cold Depths of Winter
Our unique lightweight and breathable stitch design leaves no bulk, no bunching and works with your skin to regulate moisture and temperature. Creepers actively help maintain homeostasis for the the perfect foot conditions on any adventure. From hot 100℉ days to an Antarctic blizzard, these socks have performed and delivered.
4. Support and Flexibility for All Day Fit
After 2 years of development, these socks are 100% adventure ready with technical features to keep you comfortable through streams and and the toughest downhill scrambles. With a secure upper cuff, a secure arch band and light compression throughout, you'll have all the support you need, without having to stop and adjust your fit.
Merino yarn is not only soft, low friction and sustainable. Nope, it also absorbs up to 30% of it's weight into it's core while maintaining a dry-as-a-bone outer for that all day dry-skin feel. The kicker? Merino dries faster than synthetic yarns, making it the perfect match for mud, sweat and multiple river crossings.
6. Less Sweat, Less smell and Less washing
Forget socks that slowly get smelly, inflexible and as tough as cardboard. Creepers lock not only draw moisture away from your skin FAST but they are naturally antibacterial thanks to the natural properties of merino yarn. Going on an overnight hike? Hang them up overnight and go again.
7. Tried and Trusted Over Thousands of Miles
With 200+ 5 star reviews, these socks are have walked the talk. Physiotherapist designed and then ruthlessly tested in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, Creepers merino toe socks have now been tested around the world on arduous through-hikes, brutal ultramarathons, and even the 100 mile Western States Endurance Run - without a change of socks.
I’m newish to barefoot shoes and the benefits of toe socks, at 60 years old. Wish I’d discovered sooner how to treat my feet. I never before wore wool socks in over 100 degree F weather walking all day; with these my feet were cool and comfortable. Who knew? My ONLY complaint is that they say “Creepers” on the edge visible above my shoe. I have business meetings, etc and am trying to incorporate my healthy foot choices in all my clothing. I wear mostly skirts, so the socks show and it is weird to proclaim “creeper” when meeting with colleagues or clients. Maybe an option without the name around the leg? Even with my grandkids, ages 7 and 8, it feels weird to label myself as a "creeper" (in the US a creeper is, well, creepy). Regular socks with toe spacers work, but I would rather wear these exclusively. Let’s make healthy footwear for all aspects of life not just outdoors and casual pursuits. :-)
Brought these socks for walking, after getting blisters between my toes. Problem solved straight away they are so comfy I spend all day in them. Just purchased some more so I have 6 packs 😁
Creepers are keepers! I love them. Just did my first hike in them, was a hot day and my feet didn't overheat for a change. The fit is snug, except for my teeny tiny little toe, but that didn't create any discomfort in my boots.
I wear creepers toe socks every single day because they are the best. I am a professional gardener and these socks are the only ones that let my feet breathe. They are also quick and easy to put on because the material slips onto your toes easily. Warm in winter, cool in summer. Amazing quality and hard wearing. It is worth paying out for these top quality socks. No more sweaty feet! Thankyou Creepers.
Wool toe socks and a wide toe box hiking shoe served me well on a recent hike of 100 miles on the JMT that included wading through “creeks”, off trail to avoid downed trees and lots of snow. I had 2 different manufacture’s toe socks and Creepers were my favorite. They dried fast and after each stream crossing in very cold water, my feet felt warm again in a very short time. I had no blisters or other foot problems. I highly recommend Creepers! My hiking family can expect to get some Creepers in their Christmas stockings!
Best 5 toe socks on the market. Durable and soft both. Cold water wash and I air dry them as they make lots of little black hairs which my wife doesn’t like on her wash towels. My go to socks going forward .
I used creepers socks for an ultramarathon in Europe last weekend hoping my problem with blisters running long distances will go away and it did! I ran 100k without any blisters and the usual hotspots in my feet looked great. This socks was worth it and I was stoked to finish my race using these and not worry about foot problems after the event! Was definitely and game-changer for me! Thanks you Creepers!
