Injinji toe sock review

The toe sock by Injinji is a rather unique sock.  One with a style you will remember from the 80's. Although they are funny looking they do serve their pourpose, and are quite comfortable. With that being said these are not the socks you want to be grabbing and trying to put on in the darkness of 5:30 in the morning.

Here is what Injinji has to say about the Performance Toesock:

"The original weight performance toesock is engineered to separate your toes with a CoolMax moisture wicking fiber that we blend with durable Nylon and Lycra to create a thin, anti-friction membrane that is light and breathable. Seamless in construction, the Performance Toesock forms to every contour of your foot. This allows for the true restriction free and natural movement from your heel to five toes.  This design encourages healthy circulation and eliminates skin on skin contact between your toes to prevent blisters."

I would have to say that I agree with pretty much all of this statement. I was pretty sure that I might have an issue with the individual toe sockets. I thought that they would become bothersome, and at first they were. After a minute or so I forgot that the socks even had a compartment for each of my toes. Even though they are closer in thickness to a regular sock, I noticed my feet were still pretty cool. I used these for my 5K and my feet stayed cool and comfortable throughout the whole race. They even kept my feet dry after walking though some seriously wet grass. I really like these socks, but I am not sure how they will handle in the heat of summer due to their thickness.  I can tell already that these are going to be my go to sock during the winter months, or I will have to try one of their lighter models.

The one thing that I did notice about these socks is that they stay put, and give your feet a feeling of security that you don't normally get from other socks. Which helps keep your foot where it should be in your shoe without feeling restrictive. Along with not moving around the toe sleeves stop the bunching of the socks, too. This is one of the major selling points for me and a definite plus since I don't like sliding around in my shoes, or having my sock rove around into strange locations on my foot.  If you can get past the feeling of something in between your toes I would recommend giving the Injinji Toesock a try they are worth the money and have proven to be good alternative to your normal sock.
