It’s taken us forever, but we’ve finally managed to make a sock designed specifically for our trail loving friends. 

Unlike the famous mullet haircut which is ‘business up the front, party down the back’, our Mullet socks are ‘business down below and party up the top’ with super soft, anti-blister, merino-rich goodness for your feet, and then a nice pattern above the ankle. It’s basically all the benefits of our epic, best selling no-show sock, with an extra bit above your shoe line for people who like their socks a bit longer. 

Like our no-show socks, there’s the ventilation panels for even more breathability, padded panels for even more comfort, but with these there’s the extra bit up top for even more ‘oh they look nice’.

Overall the socks is 63% merino (with 35% polyamide and 2% elastane) but actually, the foot of the sock is closer to 80% because we really only added the poly up top to make the mountain pattern work. 

(Merino feels great but it’s hard to do nice patterns with it on socks so we went with bit of extra poly up there. As you probably know, we hate synthetics and prefer to use as little as possible but you guys kept telling us you really wanted socks like these so we finally caved and made them for you. You’re welcome.)

Blown Away!! Amazing Quality

Hi Iomerino Team, my partner and I chose your Mullet Trail socks as our preferd choice.
We just finalized hiking the length of Te Ararora ~ North to South and we have not been dissapointed.
As you could imagine we put your socks to the test. We can say they lasted almost the entire trip 2753km before the heel started to thinnen out.
We only got 1 small blister each the entire trip.
Also our feet never got to hot, the socks dry quickly and because of the merino aspect non smelly for a while depending on the terrain ypur using them in.

Thankyou team we will be buying these again 10/10 Well Done

Super comfy socks.

Toasty warm and super comfy

I have A LOT of socks and these are now my favorite winter cycling sock!
I’ve worn these cycling in the cold and they don’t only look pretty rad, they also keep your footsies toasty warm
I also wanted to use them trail running but for that I prefer a tighter fit. I wear a size 40 shoe and I will go for a size small for my next pair instead of medium.
I did nevertheless use them for some hiking in Austria. I thought I’d only wear them for half a day as it was quite warm, but my feet did not feel too hot by midday so I left them on. My feet had no problems whatsoever, so I know they will be awesome for trail running as well. I really would love a mid-length sock like that!

Mullets deliver the goods

New Mullet socks are the most comfortable trail socks I have found. Heaps of padding for the long trails keeping the feet nice and toasty on the winter runs. The ankle cover is perfect to stop all kinds of stuff getting into the shoes. My new go to socks for trail runs. Awesome stuff from IoMerino

Great all rounders

Bliss for the feet. Reluctant to wear these out on the trails as they make such comfy van/house socks but I know with being wool they will stand the test of time. Wore them in a crucial part of a long run where there was multiple wet feet stream crossing followed by steep and rocky terrain and these beauties kept my feet warm and in great condition. Ladies probably best to size down for a more firmer fit.

Perfect trail socks

Have worn these socks during many ultras and they keep my feet pain-free enough to keep going! Very durable and comfortable even when wet. Highly recommend!

I’ve been using good quality merino wool socks year-round for more than 25 years. The socks keep getting better but these IoMerino Mullet Trail Socks are easily my new favorites!

Work & Play

I received a pair of these socks from the Rockleigh 105 gravel ride. After a few weeks I found myself looking for these, rather than others, to wear for a ride or for work.
Comfortable as, so I bought a few more pair to wear for work too.

Perfect trail run socks

I love the mullet trail socks. I wore them for the first time completing a slow 14 km trail run through 11 creek crossings. The socks quickly wicked away the water and worked in synergy with my trail sneakers, leaving my feet comfortable and cool for the duration of the run and the commute home.

The best Mullet you'll ever wear

I wasn't convinced by the marketing spiel at first with these socks. What do you mean, how can a sock be like a mullet? But it was right (I was a fool to doubt it) these socks are all business down below and party up the top. The bottom half, where your foot is, is very comfy and performs like any other good quality merino sock. Gets the job done like a good business person, no questions asked, it's just business as usual for I/O merino here. The top half though is where the money is. The tighter fit that is achieved through the higher proportion of polyester fibres makes it feel and look like a fancy cycling sock. The tighter fit also means the sock doesn't slip down, even when trail running in them for hours like I was, and I'm guessing is going to reduce any long term wear on the sock too. And finally, there's a pretty outline of mountains so you don't have to tell your friends you like going outside for fun, you can just show them with your socks! The only thing I'm yet to test with these Mullets is whether or not they work like Mullets did in the 80's...
