injinji Run Lightweight No Show Xtralife Socks

Toe socks have always freaked me out. I don't like them. So, I was skeptical when I saw these guys recommended for running in Outside magazine. I was creeped out by fitting each of my toes in their individual cubbies, but man was it worth it. I've run a few long distance races in these guys (marathon and ultra) and they prevent blisters and help me keep my form by reminding me to spread my toes out when I run. Also, they are low profile so no one can actually tell that you are wearing creepy toe socks.

I have been training for my first half marathon. It's been going well except for issues with blisters and calluses on my feet and toes. I ordered these socks and ran 12 miles yesterday without a single blister, callus, rub spot or hot spot. Simply amazing. I cannot yet say how durable they will be, the fabric already has little pills on it but the comfort they provided makes them worth every penny for long runs.

I highly recommend these socks! My husband just purchased a 4th pair for me & I love them! I was having issues with blisters 2 years ago & was told about these toe socks. I had received a size Medium purple injinji socks for my 10.5 feet & they felt strange the 1st few times I had worn them, but I had gotten accustomed to the feel & they worked great! No more blisters, they stay dry, they are not made of cotton, therefore do not rub holes into the back of my running shoes & they do not slip! The last 2 pairs, I had decided to purchase a size Large. Because I had rubbed off a toe nail in my 1st Half Marathon & 3 in my 2nd Half. I guess it's true what they say "Toenails are for Sissies". :) After having my feet measured, running pace filmed & reviewed by an Asic's store, I was told to go up to a 11.5 Shoe for my wide feet & larger socks. The size Large injinji socks worked just as well as the Medium & provided more toe room, when my toes splay out going up all the various hills. Shipping was immediate & they have an excellent service department that had worked with us, when I had changed my last order from a Size Medium to Size Large. Thank you for making great durable socks & having a helpful service department!

I bought two pairs of these to wear with my Vibrams Komodosport LS and haven't been disappointed. Even after wearing them to the gym, out on the trail, and just around town for 5 months they show no signs of wear. I definitely recommend them for anyone who plans on buying some form of toe shoes.
