Great socks!

Started wearing Injinji toe socks about 4 years ago and haven't worn a traditional pair since. Living in rubber boots in a remote fishing village in Alaska, I have suffered through endless athlete's foot my whole life... Until my life was changed by Injinji. Haven't had it since! No chemical solution due to having absorbent fabric between the toes. The feel took a couple days to get used to and the shortcut to getting them on took a few more days to master, but I just love these. I mostly wear the no-show length, but ordered these for my boot days. Taller socks takes a little more time and effort to get them on, but not that tough. I have a customer who has to take a picture of my feet every time he comes through to show his office staff in his town what my feet look like today... If asked, I usually respond that I may look like a dork, but I love the feel and comfort, then go into the foot-rot sales pitch. I don't think I have made any conversions to the Injinji cult, but I'm definitely a life-time member...

EDIT: These are even better than I hoped!! After successfully thru-hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail (2653mi) in one summer, I've got a few praises to sing, a few caveats to note, and I sure hope the manufacturer is listening. Firstly, I'm dead serious that I started at the US/Mexico Border and hiked through the mountains of California, Oregon, and half of Washington before these finally gave out. I had 2 pairs, which I switched out daily and rinsed in a creek when possible. For reference, I went through 5 pairs of trail runners and all of them had the fabric worn out in the heel, but these socks never wore through in that spot at all. Not just for me either, my girlfriend wore the same socks with the same experience. Other hikers who wore the famous Darn Tough socks? They replaced theirs at a maximum of 800mi per 2 pairs. Sometimes 400mi. These are the new gold standard, if you ask me. Important to note, the other Injinji sock models all fall apart extremely quickly. They are well known in the thru-hiking community to be very short-lived. Cherry on top: I never got a blister and my girlfriend only got a couple minor ones, despite usually getting massive blisters that would've ended our hike in the first week, if not for these socks and one other crucial component - Badger Foot Balm. Seriously, use it. Apply it sparingly every morning that you run/hike/backpack and you'll see far less blisters and/or foot rot. Other hikers started seeing blisters again in Washington when the weather got wet. We were fine. How? Here's my theory: It's most likely the composition being largely nylon, with a heavy dose of Lycra. Most other Injinji socks contain some amount of wool and polyester. Wool has it's place; this isn't one of them. Wool is popular because it's supposedly less smelly, but you sacrifice durability and wool holds WAY more water than synthetic. That means they stay wet longer, which means your skin gets soggier, weaker, the layers separate creating a blister. In a non-waterproof trail running shoe, a hiker or runner will frequently just cross a stream and walk their shoes dry. Synthetic allows the sock and shoe to dry in a fraction of the time. Plus, nylon is just more durable, period. That's what you want on a thru-hike or ultra-marathon, where you can't easily replace the sock 50miles from town. The downside of nylon is that it's abrasive and can cause serious blisters. That's what the extra Lycra is for. At the end of every day, you could see the fabric imprint clearly on my skin. The sock doesn't go anywhere on your foot, when properly sized. I wore a Med sock and a 10.5-11.5 shoe. These socks have a bigger compression zone around the arch and another around the heel. It works exactly as designed. The caveat? I ordered 2 pairs in black to begin with. The replacement socks were colored. The colored ones have already shown more wear and don't feel as tight. I'm no material science engineer, but I have noticed that black plastics are more durable than clear ones. Not sure why. The takeaway is simply this: Order the black ones in a tight size, use Badger Foot Balm, and you'll be the happiest hiker/runner on the trail. ------------------------ My toes stay dryer in these vs. regular socks, which results in less blisters. I have finger toes and they still get right down in between. The compression is nice, not so much for support, but because it holds them on my feet better. When there's movement in my shoe that might cause a blister, it happens between the sock and the shoe, not my skin. Haven't felt a hot spot yet. They dry pretty fast too. I stayed away from wool blends for that reason; been down that road and I'm sick of the matted, soggy feel of wool. These should be easier to clean daily on my upcoming thru-hike. I'll certainly update this review if I have a problem with them.

Love these for my long trail runs. Used to wear the shorter ones and tried these out for my trail runs for the higher length of the sock to protect against small tree limbs and plant life. No blisters from any of my long runs (15+miles) on trails. Will be purchasing more.

I recently gave this a 2 only because I received the wrong sock height. I was contacted and there was an explanation as to why this happened. They are sending the correct sock at no extra charge to me. The socks themselves are super comfortable. I have 2 toes that rub together and the socks really help with this problem. I'll give them a real workout on the mountain and hopefully be as happy.

Injinji is the only brand in toe socks that I have had experience with. I’ve been wearing toe socks exclusively for about 6 months. I need a sock that fits well when hiking as well as with motorcycle boots. I like that these socks don’t slide back into the shoe after an hours wear. My only complaint is the fit on my little toe. I have to fiddle a bit with toe especially. It’s the way my toe attaches to the foot. Injinji socks always seem to fit as expected - choose your size from their chart and it should fit. My foot is always on the border of any sock chart, so I appreciate it when sock A fits as well as sock B (in the same size) from another manufacturer. I prefer synthetic thread socks. With toe socks this is especially true since they are not as easy to put on as more conventional socks. These socks went on easy the first time, and even easier thereafter. They don’t seem to lose their fit, but it just gets better and better with each wear. The big problem with toe socks is the same as with gloves instead of mittens. Don’t expect any toe sock to simply slide into place on your foot. If injinji made gloves that fit as well as these socks, I’d say they make a great fitting glove!

I got these to wear with my winter boots. I have this same pair in low cut so knew I’d like them. They also work well in my running shoes to keep my feet warm (as long as I don’t get them wet!). I’m not a fan of the color but they are cheaper than the others and they don’t show so it’s not a huge deal. They also dry quickly after washing, even with our house at 30% humidity. Whatever material they use helps keep smell away too so if I need to I can wear them a couple times before washing if I don’t sweat too much. I found I can go as much as four days before they feel yucky, but they still don’t smell at that point. I haven’t gone more than 2 wears since that experiment but I know I can stretch things out in a pinch. I don’t know if someone with smelly or sweaty feet would have the same results though. I absolutely love these and will buy another pair when I can afford it. I know they will last a couple years since all my others have so it’s worth the money too.

Bon produit mais tres incomfortable apres 1h de xourses au niveau des doigts du pied

De lujo

chaussette très confortable seul problème la taille n'est pas spécifié pour la commande du coup j'ai reçu de la taille S au lieu de M comme inscris sur la photo de la chaussette

正直まじ最高です。最初は指が分かれているソックスに違和感がありましたが、履いて走った瞬間に良さが分かりました。指が1本ずつ独立していることで、指同士の擦れがなく、マメができにくいのが最大のメリット。ロング走やフルでの足のトラブルが激減しました。生地はしっかりしていてクッション性も高く、それでいて蒸れにくい。フィット感が抜群で走っている途中にズレることもありません。洗濯してもヘタりにくく耐久性も◎。一度これを履くと、普通のランニングソックスには戻れません。ランナーなら一度は試してほしい名品です。 他の柄もあるとなおよいですね。

Tengo un problema con los dedos del pie y con Injinji no me molestan los dedos y ando fenomenal no me molestan para nada son comodisimos
