Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
I use these socks for everyday use as well as going out running in my Vibram FiveFingers.
They keep my feet and toes warm on cold days and cool on warm days, without letting my feet get sweaty or clammy!
They make my Bormio boots a smidge tight, but they fir just fine in my Treksport LS and Treksport Multisport shoes.

Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
I ran with these all winter last year, while wearing Vibrams. Despite nothing other than the thin Vibram outer and these nuwool socks, my feet held up to the cold and snow. FYI, I ran as low as 5 below, and through the post-blizzard snow banks. I have no complaints other than having to remember to line dry these socks.
Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
I haven't tried the crew version, but I wanted to point out that it has much less wool (26% vs. 70%) than the quarter sock.

Length is not as long as shown in the picture. Might as well be wearing a mini crew.

Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
I started wearing Injinji socks when I bought my first pair of Vibram FiveFingers shoes in 2009. The wool socks add warmth without too much bulk. I'm excited about wearing them with my new FiveFingers KSO Treks this fall!
I've also found that they help prevent my toes from getting pinned together by ordinary hiking socks. For cold weather hiking, I wear these under a pair of Smartwools with my Keen boots. My toes demand freedom. :)
I have not had a problem with durability so far, but I haven't put heavy wear on them. If they do wear out before their time, I would just exchange them for a new pair.
My only complaint is that the band at the top of the Nuwool crew sock is a bit tight, compared to their Coolmax crew sock, which is fine. I do have slightly large calves. The tightness becomes itchy after a few hours, at which point I have to slide it down my ankle, defeating the point of a crew sock.

Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
I can't say enough about these socks. They really do prevent blisters by keeping your toes separated. No more taping all of my toes before long hikes or backpacking trips. They take a little getting used to, but they are so comfortable once you do. Because each toe is separated, moisture does not build up, so there's less risk of fungal growth or foot odor, too. A definite plus.
I tend to use these as liner socks in cold weather with a good wool hiking sock over top of them. I find that my toes get too cold otherwise. They are also good for skiing, although the crew-sock band is too low and slightly uncomfortable inside the boot. I'm going to try the compression socks that go to calf length next time I ski.
If you get blisters on long hikes, these socks will save your feet. And for that alone, they are worth every penny.

This sock has given me a new lease on life. Senior citizen with arthritis. I am now hiking again and without pain in my daily routine. No more bandages for me. My toes are not rubbing together anymore. Thank you!

Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
These socks are comfortable but have durability issues. Mine has a hole on a big toe in less than 30 miles of running and normal walking.
I returned them and got full refund.
REI rocks! That is the reason I shop here! Thanks!

Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
I really wanted to like these. I bought several pair. They ARE comfortable and the toesock IDEA is a good one both for reducing toes scraping each other and it helps reduce the liner sock sliding back and causing black toenails.BUT, these socks are pricey and they only lasted a couple of hikes for me before I noticed they were threadbare, used as liner socks, in the heel area, front side of toes, and tip of toes. I just can't afford [$] liner socks every couple of hikes. I have since switched to Feelmax Coolmax sports toesocks, which I wish REI carried.

Comments about Injinji Outdoor-Series Original-Weight Crew Toesocks:
because i want to wear my Japanese kenkoh accupressure flip-flops as much as possible, my winter cold-toes conundrum is finally solved by injinji's extaordinary socks. my supportive shoes with their snug toe sox are an answer to my dreams, and so lovely in lavender too!
during the spring-fall months, i enjoy backpacking, and can hardly wait to get them under my boots for the trail test
havent had them long enuf to know if they're durable, but will certainly find out in the not-too-distant future!
