Darn Tough Ultra Run No-Show Socks

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A sensation in every sense of the word. The design may not be to everyone’s taste but the performance certainly is. Reducing the risk of blisters is a game changer whether you’re a ultra runner or a mountain walker an the Injinji design is exceptional in this regard.

Injinji says:

Constructed to provide comfort and support even after miles of wear, the Ultra Run No-Show features cushioned terry throughout the foot and toes, to help soften the impact of tough sessions and runs on feet. Each toe is separated, eliminating all skin-on-skin contact between the toes and preventing blisters, while knit lines on the bottom of the footbed offer additional arch support. The No-Show length rests below the ankle and features a heel tab to protect against chafing.

Our Verdict

Injinji’s Ultra Run No-Show Socks are an ideal option for taking on longer distances where extra support and cushioning are vital. These are specifically designed to provide that extra comfort needed on longer distances or on rougher terrain. The socks are well designed and provide zoned cushioning where it’s needed most. The different fabrics provide exceptional breathability, wicking and fast drying capabilities which combine to make a very comfortable sock no matter whether you’re running an ultra marathon or fast packing through the mountains.

The design is like marmite, love-or-hate, but once you’ve got used to the strange feeling around your toes they are a super comfortable sock. Separating the toes reduces to risk of blisters significantly and I’ve used these for ultra distances and mountain marathons in warm, wet and freezing conditions and I genuinely wouldn’t wear anything else for long runs anymore. They can be annoying getting used to putting them on but the benefits of running in them are certainly worth it every time.
