Perfect timing

I got an email prompt for a review today, after yesterday debuting my creepers in my first ultramarathon (100k).
They really did meet expectations. I have a few blisters, but ive had worse after 5 hour training runs.
One of the race staff looked at my feet after the race and commented that they were in remarkably good shape compared to others he'd seen.
The race had creek crossings and my feet were wet for a long time. The creepers never felt soggy. They handled the water well. Definitely going to wear them for my next ultra.

Hey Michael,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this review, and a huge congratulations on finishing your first 100k ultramarathon!

That is awesome to hear how well they handled the creek crossings and kept your feet in great shape through all that water. 100k is wild, so hearing the race staff was impressed by how good your feet looked at the finish line is a huge win!

Thanks for bringing Creepers along for the ride, and good luck with training for your next ultra!

Cheers,

Creepers Socks Team.

First trail run no blisters or toenail issues

Over the calf toe socks are great for trail running. They provide a bit of lower leg protection from snakes and scratches with a little bit of compression. First time using them on a 16km trail run. No blisters and no toenail issues. I’ve tried other brand toe socks and still had issues, so I was reluctant to try these. The only reason I relented was because they are the only ones I could find that are over the calf.

Surprisingly great...

Skeptical as to the fit and if they were going to smell, like all other black socks do. Surprisingly, they feel great around the toes, couldnt even tell I had them on and the smell, what smell? I haven't taken them on an all day hike yet, but I didn't expect them to disappoint. Worth every penny...Thanx for this great design and product 😎

Hey Juan, that's awesome to hear! We're so stoked you're loving the Over the Calf socks. It's always great when they exceed expectations, especially with the fit and no smell – that's what we aim for!

Thanks so much for the great review and for giving them a try. We hope they crush it on your all-day hike too!

fit is not good

I really wanted to like these socks. I have large wide feet and purchased the largest size. The 2 toes next to my big toe experience pain after a few hours. it seems that the these 2 toes are made too small, not necessarily a deal breaker except there is little stretch in the material

Fit great and very comfortable. Will be getting some more

Good but slow

These socks are comfy and well made but they took almost a month for delivery. If it weren’t for that I’d give e 5 star review. Good socks but I probably won’t order more based on the shipping time.

Great socks

100km trail run, zero blisters. Thankyou Creepers!

I'm a firefighter & menopausal to put things into perspective. Usually my feet after fighting fires in the humid SC humid heat would leave my feet feeling like they had been dunked in the fry vat at McDonalds. After being on scene of a house fire (at the end of a 24 hr shift) for 3 hrs. my feet felt fine. They were the only thing that didnt feel like I had just come out of the swamp. As far as the menopause, my feet ususally serve as my thermostat during the night - throwing one or both legs out from under the covers to cool off. At work, I leave the socks on at night because the toes take a few extra seconds to get on. I havent had any issues with feeling like my feet were "hot". Will be a customer and love that the socks are more budget friendly compared to other brands.

Only had them for a week. But man, what a difference, on how my feet feel. Toe socks rock.

I ordered the small but the toes are longer than my actual toes so there’s extra material at the tips. I havent hiked in them yet so this might not matter.

Amazing quality from creepers again

Amazing quality from creepers again. My only complaint for the socks that sit above ankle height is they are all a bit tight on the cuff. Probably good for those who want them to stay up. But for us sensory sensitive people, a wider and slightly looser cuff would be amazing!

Hi Susanna,

Thanks so much for the review! So glad you are enjoying the quality.

We really appreciate the feedback about the cuff fit—that kind of detail super helpful as we design future styles. Happy running!

Cheers,

Creepers Socks Team.

The only think I dislike about these socks is the fraying from how much I'm wearing them. I prefer the ankle socks then anything else.

Its well made, exceeded my expectations. The feel is great.

Loved these so much,

Loved these so much, I think they work way better than regular knee length because of the expansion of toes and the breathability over long periods like a hike, or a flight, or the gym and then continued use after a shower. I love them and would be a welcome customer for new colors in this style

Hey Aditya, thanks so much for the lovely review! Awesome to hear our OTC and special edition pairs are living up to your favorite toe socks from Japan!

Regarding the pilling—a fabric comb or sweater stone works wonders to shave those off and keep them looking fresh. For folding, rolling them from the toe up keeps the toes neat without stretching the elastic.

We'll definitely pass along your vote for colors like white and bone for future releases!

Thanks again for the awesome support!

Cheers,

Creepers Socks Team.

Wonderful Socks READ THE CARE INSTRUCTIONS

These socks are the best toe socks I have ever worn. 10/10 would recommend and I will be a customer for as long as this company is in business. A word to the wise: read the care instructions that come with them. They will pill for the first few washes, and that is completely normal for merino wool.

Love.

Love, love, love my Creepers socks! They’ve quickly become my go-to for every run and even my tramping trips up the mountain. Super comfy, soft, and supportive, they stay in place no matter how far I’m going. I’ve worn them on everything from shorter runs to long distances, as well as adventures outdoors, and my feet are definitely thanking me afterwards.

They’re breathable, fit perfectly, and best of all, I haven’t had to deal with blisters or uncomfortable rubbing. It’s amazing how much difference a good pair of socks can make, and Creepers have definitely been a game changer for me. Safe to say I’m obsessed!

Love love love these babies 🧡

I recently purchased 3 pairs of the ‘over the calf’ socks. Such a good purchase 🧡🧡 I heartily recommend these for anyone who finds compression socks uncomfortable. These babies are my constant companions and I can wear them all day long.
I’d be a super happy camper if they came in other colours than black 🤷‍♀️🧡

Hi Sandra,

Thanks so much for sharing your awesome review of the Over the Calf socks! We're thrilled to hear they're your constant companions and that you're loving them. It's great to know they're a comfortable alternative to compression socks for you.

Keep an eye out for this month's limited edition release!

Happy trails!

Creepers Socks.

Great but some little things

Nice merino sock …. The stitches along the side of the heel can cause chafing in shoes with limited heel padding/support as they stand out are thicker more than the heel material… otherwise amazing socks. Piling but that’s wool !! :)

Any Questions?

1. Where can I get more colours?

We drop new or re-released limited-edition colors every month or two—and they tend to vanish fast.

👉 Check out past releases and sign up to be first in line when new designs land.

Can’t wait? Our core collection (black) is almost always in stock.

2. How are Creepers different to other toe socks?

Most toe socks feel synthetic, bunch up, or wear out fast. Creepers don’t.

Here’s why over 50,000 runners, hikers and more have switched.

🧈 Softer – Custom-spun merino that feels like butter
💨 Drier - Breathable knit that dries fast & fights sweat
🦨 No stink – Odor stays gone, even after back-to-back wear
💪 Built for performance - Our merino toe socks are lightweight, seamless, and ready to go from 5K to 100 miles


You’ll forget they’re there… until you take them off and realize how freakishly fresh your piggies are!

3. What's the point of toe socks?

They keep your feet feeling dry, fresh, and blister-free—all day.

Once you’ve gone blister-free on a full day hike, you’ll never go back.

Creepers toe socks combine the benefits of merino wool and toe separation to help:

🩹 Prevent Blisters.
💦 Control Moisture & Temp.
🦨 Stop stink, even on back-to-back days.
👟 Improve function & comfort.

Perfect for running, hiking, travel, or everyday wear.

4. What size am I?

Check out our size chart and simply match your US shoe size, to our unisex sizes.

You can find our size chart HERE as well as pon the product pages - in the product descriptions and product images

5. What shoes do they work with?

Anything—from barefoot shoes to boots. They don’t take up extra space, and they feel natural in just about anything.

Wide toe box shoes help you get the full benefit (like toe splay), but even in regular sneakers you’ll get dry toes and zero skin-on-skin rubbing.

6. Are they good to run or hike in?

Oh heck yes. This is what they were made for.

Whether you're doing ultras, hiking peaks, or chasing kids around a park, Creepers stay dry, comfy, and blister-free through it all.

Tried, tested and true, they're trusted by runners, hikers, and everyday legends alike.

Jump on our reviews page and use the search bar to look for reviews that match goal - a marathon, a park run or multi-day hike - you, do you.
